Cursed Castilla Collector's Edition ships with soundtrack CD
Abylight Games has published Cursed Castilla Collector's Edition, including a physical copy of the 2D platformer for Nintendo Switch, the CD soundtrack housed in a digipack case, full-color manual, and hardcover making-of document.

Spanish composer Gryzor87 made his music score for the 2012 freeware edition of Maldita Castilla free to download from his website. Composed for Yamaha's YM2203 sound chip, the 39-track FM synthesis score seeks to recreate the feel of vintage arcade games, circa 1985.

In the remake, the player takes control of protagonist Don Ramiro. His mission, assigned by King Alfonso VI of León, is to infiltrate a witch's stronghold, known as Tolomera del Rey.

Cursed Castilla is also available for Xbox One, PS4 consoles, and iOS devices. The Windows PC edition is on Steam, verified for use with the Steam Deck. The soundtrack album is hosted on Steam.


From the Abylight product page:
The tears of a young witch have been turned by a demon into a key that opens up a gateway for the evil in this world. King Alfonso VI of León has gathered his loyal knights to get to Tolomera del Rey and finish the nightmare using the power of the Witch’s tears. Banish the zombies and demons that entered the Kingdom of Castile with Don Ramiro, the loyal King’s Knight, and his friends. For that, you will use a different range of weapons to defeat your enemies through the cursed lands of Tolomera, in a pure classic arcade action style.
