Story

Castle Doomsday was a legend come true for Lara, the thought of owning the Golden beetle was more than she could have expected. The inherent powers of the Golden beetle is said to enable the raising of the dead, and how true this is for Lara, when she enters the castle from an underground cave.

Her objective is to find the Golden beetle and deprive Lord Doomsday of his most treasured possession. Without this artifact he can never rule his 'castle of the walking dead'. Be aware though, for he will not give up his prize so easily. He will push her to the limits with his devious tricks and traps, and will hunt her down with his faithful guard. The dead will come at her from all sides, relentlessly seeking her 'bloody' end.

Not everything is to Laras disadvantage though, as she will discover certain objects that will help her, like the 'Holy prayer' scripture.

The eyes of all the lost souls of the castle will be on her, as she attempts to retrieve the artifact, hoping that she will succeed.

Castle Doomsday

This was one of those levels I always meant to play but never seemed to have the time. I wish now I'd made time sooner. If you're in the mood for a single level castle with a fluid and consistent gameplay, then this is it. A perfect blend of exploration, mystery, puzzle solving and fighting, this level will keep you enthralled until you solve the final puzzle.

The atmosphere and mood is full of suspense and often thrilling, with an engaging storyline. As you solve areas and move to the next, you never quite know what to expect and it never disappoints. Solidly constructed and tested, you can play with confidence without having to worry about bugs or gameplay problems.

The gameplay is so well constructed you are never wandering around hopelessly lost or fighing impossible battles. For the last big fight there is even a convenient grenade ammo pickup for your battling pleasure. And pleasure it is! Blowing up skellies has to be one of life's little joys.

This is a memorable and satisfying single level thriller suitable for one of those quiet evenings in alone. I believe the geometry was designed by her brother Terry. All in all, a damn fine level.
