Doomsday Castle consists of a labyrinth of 76 complexly inter-connected Halls and Passages where you will meet a whole host of adversaries serving the infinitely evil Scarthax, the Garthrogs, the Orphacs, the phenomenally nasty Googly Bird and the Urks which manifest themselves in over fifty unbelievably weird and wonderful guises.

Scarthax has scoured the Universe to bring together the six ancient stones of lifeforce. United in Doomsday Castle they are being used to wield an irresistable power over the cosmos, emanating waves of corruption through every galaxy.

To save the Universe, you must battle your way through the Caslte to find and colllect the six stones and use their force against Scarthax to destroy Doomsday Castle, hopefully escaping yourself before the final cataclysmic explosion. The task is not easy (saving the Universe never is!) and it will take you many games to unfold the structure of Doomsday Castle and discover the locations of the ancient stones. The addictive arcade style action will keep you coming back to play but the overall challenge should still keep you occupied for months.

Review:

A worthy follow-up to The Pyramid. Much improved graphics and more varied gameplay helps considerably. It can get extremely frustrating at times yet it is still very playable.
