Super Crazy Rhythm Castle Review
Fans of wacky party games and rhythm games will want to check out Super Crazy Rhythm Castle, which was developed by Second Impact Games (a studio co-founded by the creator of the Super Crazy Guitar Maniac Deluxe series of Flash games) and released by Konami November 14th on PC and console. In Super Crazy Rhythm Castle, you are part of a team of one to four challengers determined to conquer the castle and overthrow its corrupt king. Everything in the castle is powered by music, so you need to use your rhythmic skills to get things up and running in order
The Weird World of Peripheral Rhythm Games
Peripheral instrument-based rhythm games really became a thing (at least in the West) during the mid-2000s, with Red Octane’s (and later Activision’s) ‘Guitar Hero’ title for the PlayStation 2. But between 1999 and 2007, Konami had already been releasing various versions of their GuitarFreaks, DrumMania, KeyboardMania and BeatMania games for PlayStation consoles in Japan. Konami continues to release sequels to the arcades as late as 2018, more recently under the ‘Gitadora’ name.The genre was relatively successful (if not saturated) between 2005 and 2010, before having a final stab at reinvigorating its fan base in 2015, where it soon fizzled out once

I know for a fact there are at least 2 game modes though.
There is payload and capture the point
SilverKurumi replied to HypnoticSilence September 26, 2016There's only one Game mode. Payload and Capture the Point are mixed as one hybrid game mode.
DjGus_PT October 02, 2016After patch 34, pure payload is now available to play, and a "new" champ added, along with skins, voice packs, etc etc etc
SilverKurumi replied to DjGus_PT October 08, 2016Yeah, I played it, Payload is a lot more fun.
Still gonna wait on a re-review when the game is off beta tho

Game has a lot of things in it to like ,but i'm not a fan of micro crafting and survival . Hope it's gonna be possible to still enjoy the story and other stuff in the final release without getting too bogged down in the bits i don't like.

Update:
An old batch of keys has become unstable, and we're working through them with customers as we speak. We're switching to a more reliable source, so key validity should improve in the coming days.
Thank you, everyone, for your patience and understanding as we trying to improve key stability.September 23, 2026 -

I was luck too, being able to snag it before it went missing! A few others as well, I'll eventually get to.
Thanks for taking the time to comment, and thanks for the link! I'll absolutely give it a look!August 20, 2026 -

From what I've read, it doesn't sound like it's a hugely different experience from the original anyhow.
I mainly specified because that's the version I played.
You could probably aim for one episode at a time to keep things fresh in between other gaming goals and also as a way not to torture yourself by tackling all of Nightmare mode at once.That's one reason I was happy to have played on Luna - no achievements! So I don't feel compelled to go back and do that... I just glance at it occasionally as I'm scrolling... Should I? Eh... It's okay.
It does sound like a fun challenge, but I have other things to play. Like the sequel.August 05, 2026 -

I started the original one a while ago and only a bit but never had a chance to finish. Shame, remastered is Epic exclusive on PC. Thanks for the review and reminding me my backlog :)

What a classic!
The fact I discovered in the public library of my city and rented the game when I was little. Because I didn't had internet and the rental was a couple days, I made an ISO file with Nero Burner to play the game when I pleased.
I was also lucky that I bought games in computer magazines(ComputerHoyJuegos) and Quiosks. Like having: Commandos 2, PcFútbol2001, Grouch(Rocko's Quest), S.W.A.T 3/4, Patrician III, Imperium III(Viriathus campaign being hard AF), Ground Control, NYR - New York Race, Age of Empires I & II + expansions + Mythology(+Titans), etc...
I was the lucky few that managed to buy this game before being delisted on Steam for a few €uros.
BTW if you are looking for "dead games" or want to contribute on a wiki useful for the consumers of the future, the Stop Killing Games community made a wiki with all the games that are being delisted, unplayable or in risk on dying soon:
