Madita Castilla EX is a classic arcade action-platformer with fairly straightforward mechanics that will be easy to learn but extremely hard to master.

Nonetheless, the music will fade pretty rapidly, as you’ll have to properly focus on the game, making it perhaps a bit bland if you were expecting a theatrical performance. The music also feels like it’s a blast from the past, albeit a pleasant one to have running in the background. The charming graphics complement the eerie setting surprisingly well, and give the game a fresh appearance. It’s quite fun that the developers added a function so you can edit the border of the screen, as well as certain small changes in the crispness of the graphics. While in many ways the game feels a bit ‘borrowed’, it’s also oddly unique and fun to look at. The graphic prowess is consistent with the 16bit era, which retro enthusiasts will surely love, as the developers made sure there’s enough variety in terms of backdrops, enemies and attacks.

Even though you might be disappointed with the ending if you haven’t found all the secret requirements, the second, better ending, will be that much more satisfying.
