Phoenix, AZ - 11/25/2024 - Indie developer Grumpyface Studios has announced their newest game release, Castle Doombad: Free to Slay, is now available to play on mobile devices!
Castle Doombad: Free to Slay is a tower defense puzzler that puts players in the sinister shoes of villain extraordinaire, Dr. Lord Evilstein. Armed with treacherous traps and monstrous minions, players must strategically defend their castle against waves of invading heroes seeking to rescue their captured. The villainous action takes place across over 70 campaign stages, multiple bonus gameplay modes, and with over 30 unique traps to unlock and upgrade and over 100 unlockable and equippable items to collect.
The original Castle Doombad was released back in 2014, developed by Grumpyface and published by Adult Swim Games, but years later became delisted from mobile app stores along with most of Adult Swims Games’ catalog. Since then, fans have been clamoring for its return. In response, Grumpyface has not only brought back the original hit Tower Defense gameplay, but also developed and added brand new never-before-seen content and features.
The new content includes an unlockable cosmetics system, called “spoils”, where the player can deck out their Dark Lord and his control room with various evil artifacts and stolen loot, each paired with their own equippable “Baddie Bonus” perks that make the player stronger. Also added is a robust new rougelite mode, “Dr. Lord Evilstein’s Roguevenge”. In Roguevenge, players must defend randomly-generated castle layouts and collect nefarious Nightmares that grant a range of villainous new powers and abilities.
Chris Graham, President and Creative Director of Grumpyface, shares his excitement: “Our small but passionate team has worked tirelessly to resurrect Castle Doombad, a game we’ve always been proud of and wanted to do more with. We’re so thrilled to finally have the opportunity to do just that, and I can’t wait for players to experience how much bigger and badder Castle Doombad has become!”
Published by Yodo1, Ltd., Castle Doombad: Free to Slay is free to download on iOS and Google Play. In addition to the Free to Slay version, a paid premium version called Castle Doombad Classic is set to launch next month on Steam (PC and Mac) on December 12, 2024. The Steam version is available for wishlisting here.
The team is also working on a Nintendo Switch release, expected to release next year, and a sequel titled Castle Doombad 2: Muahaha!
