About the Game

Castle of the West is a fantasy themed classic FPS 'boomer-shooter', inspired by the greats such as Doom, Hexen, and Blood. It features sprawling nonlinear level design that will take you through some breathtaking locations!
Get equipped with your rapid-fire crossbow, and prepare to take down the Vampire, Lord Grigory, in this single-player fast-paced classic First-Person Shooter Experience!

Expect to Explore 6 fantastic levels each one will take you on an amazing adventure, all with a rockin' Midi Soundtrack! Each stage is a complete adventure that will take you on a winding path through a non-linear level, with locked doors and matching colored keys to find. For fans of boomer shooters, this should all be plenty familiar, and welcome! Also features a much more streamlined level design experience, while stages are nonlinear, the maps don't employ any of the less savory cheap tricks to pad themselves out. In other words: NO MAZES! Only the best of the best of the classic FPS design here! Just you, your crossbow, a few keys here and there, various castles, and a TON of Skeletons, Goblins, and Lizard-folk!
