Castle of Heart: Retold

Top retailers

Rise once more as a fallen knight cursed to live as stone. In Castle of Heart: Retold, every strike, every step, and every moment counts, for with each passing second, your body begins to crumble. This is a dark fantasy action-platformer where your strength and spirit are tested against time, magic, and despair.

Set in a world inspired by Slavic mythology, you play as Svaran, a warrior turned to stone by the dark sorcerer serving the god Chernobog. Bound by curse but driven by love, you embark on a perilous journey to rescue the priestess Mira and free the realm from the grip of evil. Through ruined villages, cursed forests, and crumbling fortresses, you'll uncover a haunting tale of devotion and defiance, where every crystal collected and choice made brings you closer to one of several possible fates.

Castle of Heart: Retold is not merely a remaster, but a complete reimagining. Every aspect has been rebuilt and refined: smoother controls, enhanced lighting and effects, detailed character models, redesigned animations, and fully redone cutscenes bring new life to this once-stone legend. The soundtrack has been re-orchestrated, the pacing rebalanced, and the story expanded to immerse players in a deeper, more emotional experience.

Combat remains brutal and unforgiving. You'll battle an array of creatures born from folklore, including ghouls, chorts, vodniks, and other nightmarish beings. A wide arsenal of weapons, both melee and ranged, allows for varied playstyles: wield torches to burn through darkness, hurl axes to pierce armor, or master the crossbow for deadly precision. Boss fights demand more than strength, and they test your timing, awareness, and endurance.

Your greatest enemy, however, is the curse itself. The stony shell that grants you power is also your downfall. Lose momentum, and your body begins to deteriorate, costing you limbs, weapons, and the ability to fight effectively. The only way to survive is to press forward and keep the curse at bay. It's a unique mechanic that keeps the tension high from start to finish.

Built for modern systems, Castle of Heart: Retold introduces new accessibility options, Steam achievements, cloud saves, and full localization in multiple languages. With reworked dialogue and improved cinematic storytelling, this is the ultimate version of a cult classic — a rebirth worthy of the hero’s legend.
