Nostalgia hits me whenever I play old games that have been remastered. Back in the day, my father used to get us all the newly released games on summer breaks. Castle of Illusion was one of my favorites back then, playing it constantly with my siblings on Sega Genesis. This reimagining of the game did so well, covering all the stages and even the soundtracks beautifully. I enjoyed every moment of playing it. The story about Mickey and Minnie, who were enjoying a beautiful afternoon in a forest, when a jealous witch named Mizrabel suddenly kidnapped Minnie. Mickey, of course, had to chase after the witch and enter the castle of illusion, where each door would lead him to a different world. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3746855836 The narrative voice did a wonderful job telling the story, it reminds me so much of KQ game and The Cave. Mickey's voice sounded the same as we knew years ago. The soundtracks are beautiful; they were remastered, and they sounded different yet the same as the original. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2246649883 The 3D gameplay, animation, and characters are very well done. The game is more like a platformer side-scroller, but sometimes you move up and down the screen, which changes the perspective. In each stage, you have to collect diamonds to unlock the next set of levels. There are six stages, each with 3 levels, plus a bonus stage where you can collect specific items for an achievement. You can kill enemies by jumping on them or throwing whatever you collect on stage (Apples, marbles, candles). All stages are very well done; some are difficult, and you have to move fast. Highly recommend playing with a controller. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2246651289 Pros: +Nostalgic game. +Beautiful graphics. +Good soundtracks. +Great narrative voice. +Collectibles +Steam achievements. Cons: -Short game It was fun, not VERY easy, kids friendly, and definitely for people who played the original game. I'd like to see more old games being remastered like this. I used to play The Great Circus Mystery, Mickey Mania (my ultimate favorite), and World of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck. And let me silently wish for Pocahontas game to have a remastered version.

This game was my childhood, genuinely. Every day I got home from when I was 7-12 I would play this game, and I was GOOD at it. I was so good, I didn't even need guides for the secrets, I LEARNED, how the game devs thought, and I reacted accordingly, keep in mind, I was doing this on my dads old ♥♥♥♥♥♥ KEYBOARD, so I couldn't walk, or throw objects, I just had to pray to god it was good enough, In the end, it was surprisingly enough. In fact, this game kind of defined my taste for a few years, I got into Shovel Knight, Mega Man and Super Meat Boy because of this game. So, to really conclude here, Castle of Illusion is the ultimate test of whether your childhood is still relevant in your everyday life, or, if you're a kid, how far the limits of your childhood can go, It's whimsical, controls ♥♥♥♥♥♥ BRILLIANTLY, and establishes good platforming fundamentals for harder games. Castle of Illusion doesn't really need players, far from it, it's old and worn down now, being 13 years old, but the problem isn't that Castle of Illusion doesn't need you, It's that YOU. NEED. CASTLE OF ILLUSION.
Es un remake que respeta el clásico de Mega Drive, pero lo actualiza con escenarios en 3D muy bonitos, una banda sonora fantástica y un aire de cuento de Disney que sigue funcionando igual de bien que hace años. La jugabilidad es sencilla y accesible y precisamente por eso, me parece un juego ideal para niños o para cualquiera que quiera iniciarse en el género de las plataformas, aunque el juego es bastante corto. Aun así, cada nivel tiene suficiente personalidad para que nunca se haga repetitivo, y la narración le da un encanto especial. Incluso hice una guía en Steam para ayudar a conseguir todos los coleccionables y completar el juego al 100%, así que si os atascáis en algún punto, quizá os resulte útil.
Знаете, что я заметил? Это одна из немногих игр, где ты, продвигаясь по уровню, реально чувствуешь, что куда-то идёшь. Даже в рамках одной локации антураж так резво сменяется, что играешь словно завороженный - и исследование Замка Иллюзий уже кажется не попрыгушками по платформерным полигонам, а весёлой и волшебной прогулкой)
密斯卡,莫斯卡,米~老鼠!
I tried everything. It just doesn't work. I tried SpecialK. I tried DirectX. I tried dgVoodoo. I tried dxvk. There is genuinely no troubleshooting option that works. At first it was a white screen. Then after I tried a few things it froze at the gamepad screen with the music playing in the background. Then after DAYS, I was able to making through the loading screen. Then, when I hit enter to play, it crashed. And it kept crashing. And no matter what I did it either didn't do anything or got me stuck at the gamepad or autosave screen. I give up. I used to see playthroughs of this game on YouTube when I was in elementary school, and it felt so nostalgic that I decided that I wanted to play it. Yes, I adjusted my refresh rate. Yes, I adjusted my window size. Yes, I hovered the task manager over it. Yes, I turned my computer off and back on again. Yes, I ran my terminal window as an administrator. Yes, I adjusted the compatibility settings (including to Windows 7 and 8). Yes, I disconnected all my external devices from my pc. Yes, I downloaded every d3d9.dll out there. No, I'm not going to do any more than this because I've probably caused permanent damage to my computer software.
I had a really good time with this game. The art style is beautiful, the environments are creative, and the soundtrack captures that classic Disney charm perfectly. Every level feels unique enough to keep the adventure interesting, and the overall presentation has aged surprisingly well. The gameplay is simple and easy to pick up, which makes it a relaxing platformer rather than a difficult one. It isn't very long, and experienced players will probably finish it in one sitting, but it doesn't overstay its welcome. The only downside is that the controls can feel a little imprecise during a few platforming sections, and the game doesn't offer much challenge if you're looking for something demanding. Overall, it's a charming and enjoyable experience that's worth playing, especially if you appreciate classic platformers or Disney games. It may not reinvent the genre, but it delivers a fun adventure with plenty of personality.
Giving a negative review until game is updated. Keeps crashing on modern hardware. Tried lots of suggestions. At BEST, I can run it at a low resolution. (looks like 1080p) This is a GREAT TITLE. But depending on your hardware, it's unplayable. Crashes the instant you try to access video options. Very unfortunate :( Please fix
Una aventura bastante entretenida de Micky Mouse, disfruté mucho consiguiendo todos los logros de este juego
