built 646 days ago
In 1987, the sequel Beyond Dark Castle was released, in which Duncan has to return and defeat the Black Knight who is still alive. To access the Black Knight's tower, the player must first gather five magic orbs which are placed in various hard to reach places. Beyond Dark Castle had an engine similar to Dark Castle but with improvements and additions, including some levels where the player could control a "mediaeval jetpack" of sorts. Playing the game on the "Advanced" difficulty level allows the player to see an extended ending cinematic which reveals that the hero Duncan actually puts on the defeated Black Knight's helmet and armor, becoming the new evil ruler himself.

Dark Castle has a distinctive style that pulls the animation and sound into a coherent whole. More than any other game available for the Amiga, this game has atmosphere and class. As you travel through the rooms, you can almost feel the clammy walls and cold floors. This is one of the programs you'll use to show off your Amiga.
The movies will still be low budget, but now Dark Castle will move into other genres like comedy and action. Dark Castle’s first project under the new deal will be an action thriller called Whiteout, based on a novel by Greg Rucka about a US Marshall hunting the first serial killer to plague Antarctica. The Summoner, a psychological thriller, is ... in the newly rebuilt pipeline.

In The Dark Castle, you will encounter the ghost castle of Khara-khoto, 250 miles from the oasis of Jiu-chang, near the Qilian Mountains in the Gobi Desert. This legendary lost city was obliterated from the face of the Earth by Genghis Khan, who exterminated the Tangut people who built it. Buried by the Gobi sands, it was unearthed by the Russian explorer Koslov, who took its artworks to the Hermitage. The castle has stood unentered for fifty years, since the locals refuse to enter the cursed grounds. You will embark on a Mongol camel journey from Narnborg, traverse the desert, and enter the castle gates - alone!
