There’s been a recent surge in Insanity’s Blade players, and we wanted to take the time to thank you for giving the game a go. Whether you have recently purchased the game, or received it as a reward from our recent Kickstarter campaign, we hope you’re enjoying your time with Insanity's Blade: The Chronicles of Thurstan and look forward to hearing your thoughts and comments either in the forums, or on our Discord server.
Talking of Kickstarter campaigns, if you follow Causal Bit Games on social media, you will have likely seen by now that Battle Princess Madelyn is finally out for Windows PC on Steam.
If you haven’t already checked it out, here’s what you need to know.
Classic retro gameplay for a whole new era!
- With the retro of feel Ghouls ‘n Ghosts and Wonder Boy 3, this will conjure up memories of the arcade era with its Unity driven hand-drawn pixel art
- 10 levels with five stages each, they're replayable with no starting over (that is unless you want to)
- Two modes including story (by a professional children's author) and arcade (for the experts)
- Hidden collectibles with extra rewards, weapons are upgradeable depending on your armour, which you can find through the blacksmith in story mode
- Fritzy has special powers to help you and assists you in your quest
- Weapons are specific to certain areas, providing access to secret locations
- Travel across the world using special portals to get from place to place
Oh the sights you will see and the sounds you will hear!
- Slipping between classic arcade FM/PCM and modern orchestrated, you can tailor the music score from Gryzor87 (of Maldita Castilla fame) to help set the scene
- Lovingly crafted by veteran artist Christopher Obritsch, the game features distinctive pixel art, from the cut-scenes, to the gameplay, with depth provided through dynamic lighting
We’ve been thrilled with the reception Battle Princess Madelyn has been getting from mainstream media, Twitch, YouTube and social media influencers. Here’s just a couple of our favourite quotes:
"I waited a long time for Battle Princess Madelyn, and I’m proud to say that Casual Bit Games has delivered beautifully. If you’ve always loved Ghouls ‘n Ghosts, but never have been able to get past its rock solid difficulty, this might be your time to shine! Aside from it being such a gracious mirror to the classic, Battle Princess Madelyn has plenty of twists and turns in the gameplay that will really keep you engrossed from start to finish!" - Entertainment Focus
"The thing about Battle Princess Madelyn is that the audio and the visuals are so well done that it feels incredible to play just for the novelty of looking at it; especially if you’re a huge fan of the classics. Controls also feel great, with keyboard controls feeling like you’re playing an actual emulator of sorts" - DualShockers
