Castle of Heart: Retold is a massively upgraded and expanded version of the original release, featuring significant enhancements across gameplay, story, visuals, and much more.
Stand against the Sorcerer—a servant of the evil god Chernobog—to free the last priestess of goddess Mokosh and liberate the land from the Sorcerer’s tyrannical rule. As a Slavic warrior named Svaran, you must overcome not only magical creatures and lethal contraptions, but also a terrible curse that has turned your body to stone. You need to keep up your killing spree, otherwise your body will start to disintegrate, eventually losing limbs and the ability to wield weapons!
