Story
Whilst dabbling with some of the works of Lord Doomsday,
Lara accidentally opens a vortex into which she can't
escape. Riding the force, she finds herself in another
dimension; the domain of Doomsday.
At first Lord Doomsday is curious and allows
Lara to enter his castle, but then realises she will not
give in easily. Whilst in the castle, Lara is determined to
collect as many artifacts of Doomsday as she can. Meanwhile,
Doomsday tries to trick and puzzle Lara into submission.
Note from the Author
The first level has no conventional puzzles as such (keys,
gems etc) but the whole level is a puzzle. The second level
is more of a battle with smaller puzzles.
These two levels chronicle the period of
time leading up to the original Castle Doomsday.
The second level can be played independently of the first
for those that get stuck in the
first level, or you can play from the first which
automatically runs into the second level.
The choice is yours, however, to get the full effect,
starting from level one is a must.
Castle Doomsday Chronicles
Prepare to be overawed as you venture into
Lord Doomsday's Castle as this is an extraordinary journey
into originality. It takes a brilliant mind to be able to
adapt the inner workings of the Level Editor to produce
levels like these! Not only is the gameplay fresh, fair and
original but the atmosphere is almost overpowering at times.
Sometimes words just don't capture what it
is you're trying to convey but I lost count of how many
times I stopped to investigate how Dhama actually
accomplished some of the stuff in this game. The first level
is an absolute classic.
On the downside, the second level is rather
dark in places and I ran out of flares, but don't let that
put you off - save up all your flares from the first level,
turn the lights out and you'll be fine. Immerse yourself in Castle Doomsday
Chronicles because this is an experience you will relish.
