YMMV / Creepy Castle

Go To

  • Awesome Music: the game had many songs made for it and many of them work very well. You can hear it for yourself here.
    • Scale These Castle Walls is a rock song used in one of the trailer to announce the game and the adventure you'll face. In a game filled with Retraux music, it also works surprisingly well for the climax of scenario 2B.
    • Rough-and-rumble is funny, happy song for those sillier, goofier bosses you'll face.
    • Fight of the Humble Bee is a remix of Flight Of The Bumble Bee for the Bee boss fight because why not?
    • Sublime Intervention is the song that play at the Climax of the Creepy Castle scenario as you finally face Darking. It does support the feeling that this is the decisive battle that will decide everything. Meanwhile, The Darkest Inflection is the song that play against the Possessed which indicate that things are far from over and that you're now in big trouble.
    • Tatakai is the boss theme of scenario 2 which works as a serious (but not "you're in trouble") theme.
    • Preludium for the Lost and Concerto for the Lost help setting the tone of having to fight a friend despite not wanting to.
    • Make Your Selection, Now is a soft elevator song that does an excellent job of creating some serious Mood Whiplash in the game.
    • Persona Non Grata is a remix of Moonlight Sonata that work quite well as a boss battle theme. Thanks Beethoven.
    • Awakening and The Final Possession does a good job of injecting some Nightmare Fuel in the game as a giant statue start to chase you.
    • Shadow King, Shadow Man and Shadow Demon are dark reprisals of earlier songs that are used when you fight the various shadow bosses in the Final Fist.
    • The Destroyer is a medley of various songs from the game used for the epic Final Boss battle of the whole game.
  • Tear Jerker: The second phase against Darking. Both Darking and Moth’s expressions during the second phase are all too crushing. Especially when, before you deal the final blow, you get to struggle against Darking, only for Darking’s power meter to stop and fall back down to zero.
    • Just minutes later, during the battle with Possessed Darking, Darking is able to regain control of himself after Moth speaks for the first time in the game, calling out to him. He's only able to overpower the Possessor for a few moments, though- just long enough for him to reflect on his life while Gravity plays. He states that Moth's eyes remind him of someone, presumably Ori, and theorizes that his possession may be his punishment for trying to play god. His final wish is for Ant Queen to stop the Possessor at any cost- indicating that he wants her to destroy his body. He then turns to Moth, thanking him, before losing control again. Ant Queen then shoots the Possessor, and by extension Darking.
    • In Lost, it is all too crushing to see Moth burst into tears as he explains his dark past.
    • In The Final Fist, the Possessor’s last words when Ant Queen defeats him in his "Apollyon" form. The Possessor rambles about how he did everything he was meant to do, and yet he still failed, which thoroughly confused him. Instead of rubbing salt in his wounds, Ant Queen realized that the Possessor's story was rather tragic. She asks him if he had any way to challenge the course that was set for him, and he confirms that he had no choice. The two realize that their stories are similar: Both are powerful beings that were created, and used, by their selfish masters. However, unlike Ant Queen, the Possessor could not escape their control. In his final moments, the Possessor realizes that for the first time, he's truly spoken to someone like him, who can understand. He bids Ant Queen goodnight, and passes away.
