Gameplay:
The gameplay is basic, think of any Zeta game and you will be bang on.
But there are a few new idea's and concepts that quite intrigued me, for example you can damage an arm and render it useless for a while.
The training is textbook Zeta, self train, rest, repeat, but RP does come into the factor for transforming, which is a rather nice feature and one of the more original ones.
There are quests, which are based on the TV series, and while well done, they don't give me the sense of satisfaction I think they really should.

Presentation:
Graphics:
The graphics are a mix match of ripped and original and unfinished.
About 20% are from zeta sources
About 10% are from other sources (I.e reo2, WotS)
The rest are original, yet most are unfinished and it leads to a choppy feeling when walking with dissapearing hair.
The GFX on the otherhand are A class stuff, the start character selection screen is just God like, and all other image based graphics I've seen in the game so far have all been up to this superhigh quality.

Sounds:
The sounds are mainly from the show, however I spotted a few reo2 sounds, so I guess there are a few of those scattered around two.
Never the less, they keep my interested for long enough to boost the Presentation score by 2.

Originality:
This is where the game dips a little bit,
The game claims to be "100% original", yet I see many a sprite, many a method of doing something and many a sound that are most definatly not original.
However, some of the nicer and better features ARE the original ones, and it leads to a half baked half awesome experience that somewhat bores, but leaves you satisfied if you play to the end.

Overall:
Overall I gave this game a 6/10.
The games interesting at best, but generally you will spend your time doing the more boring things of the game.
From a RP point of view, I saw no-one RPing in the chat, and upon my first attempt as my alter ego Chuck Boblington, I was shonned and ignored. Sadface.

I find it's worth playing, if not for the fun just to see the way it works and some of the better features, but it's nothing long term for me.

Nuff said.

HIM says:
--Aren't you that guy who was given the Castle --source code?
ME says:
Inded.
I am hosting now.
HIM says:
Any reason you completely unbalanced the game in the worst way possible?
ME says:
I know not of what you say,
HIM says:
The game used to fun and balanced
You completely broke it
ME says:
How so?
HIM says:
HMM, LET'S SEE
You made the requirement for units WAY TOO HIGH
Your -forced- to play with 4 people to even have a CHANCE of doing decent
ME says:
I left them as they were.
HIM says:
Enemies either have too much or too little
LOL, no
For Hunters, DragonSlayers were at 25, not 40
ME says:
I changed nothing with the levels required other than for Insane.
Dsers are 25 on easy-Very hard
20 on veasy
30 on insane
HIM says:
...*facepalm*
Again, a fucking retarded move.
The game was perfectly balanced until you came along
ME says:
Not particularly much.
HIM says:
Theres only like two people with the good version of the game
ME says:
Which ones that
HIM says:
The one before you ruined it with your ripper-ness.
ME says:
The one with my skin, the one before Insane!! was added, or the one with insane!!
And I don't rip.
HIM says:
The original.
You have a REO2 rip
You have a Castle rip
ME says:
Not a Castle rip, it is just castle.
REO2 rip requires me to take all credit.
HIM says:
No
ME says:
I do not, if DE wishes me to shut it down I would
But I have anyway.
HIM says:
It stopped being Castle when it got to a different owner.
ME says:
Therefor your logic is flawed, and I think I'm being insulted,
HIM says:
That's like saying it'd still be Pepsi if Sony owned it instead.
ME says:
Therefor I'm afraid I'm going to haft to block you.
And Pepsi still would be Pepsi.
HIM says:
*therefore
ME says:
>.>
HIM says:
*have to
Why do you completely skip spelling certain words?
ME says:
I don't, I just find certain words hard.
I.e imagine
rediculos
>.<<br/> HIM says:
...are you five for something
*or
ME says:
Fail.
HIM says:
Oh yes, a typo in which I type a word beggining with F with my left index finger, then go to type "or" as I'm also typing "four" in another conversation.
Yup, fail/10.
ME says:
Yup.
Thanks for agreeing with me,.
Really makes me feel good about myself.
HIM says:
Whatever strokes your ripping-e-penor.
ME says:
Awesome.
Too bad I don't rip =(
HIM says:
REO2 rip
Castle rip
ME says:
Anywho, I still have the original Castle source.
And My Castle "rip" Isn't a rip.
It's a transfer of ownership, not a rip.
HIM says:
No
And who cares you still have the original? It's in the hands of someone who lacks the slightest idea of balance.
ME says:
I do know balence.
I have different game modes/difficulty and enemy counts.
HIM says:
You did not make it evident for your Castle rip, then.
ME says:
If you can't find one that's right for you, you obviously haven't played enough.
Stop calling it a rip, and I'll start taking you seriouslu?
Seriously*
HIM says:
I'll keep calling it a rip. NOTHING changed other then breaking the balance and adding unneeded GMs
like all the WotS, BSoC, Zeta, REO2, etc rips
ME says:
The GM's I will admit, was a bit wrong of me. And scince you are critisizing it, I shall remove them.
HIM says:
Since or science?
ME says:
I didn't break the balence, I made it more variable.
HIM says:
Which world did you mean?
ME says:
Scince isn't spelt like that?
Sorry.
Since.
HIM says:
Do you know what variable means, or is this another attempt to look smart?
ME says:
Variety*
My mistake
HIM says:
It isn't variety either.
ME says:
Yes it is.
HIM says:
Being forced to play with 4 "pros" isn't variety.
ME says:
You don't need to.
HIM says:
Pre-yourabomination a duo could do it well
ME says:
If you find it hard, change the number of enemies.
p
HIM says:
...
LMFAO
LOOL
10/10 MAN FUNNIEST THING EVER
ME says:
kthx
HIM says:
HEY
ARE YOU FINDING IT HARD TO MAKE MONEY IN REAL LIFE?
CHANGE THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE!
ME says:
Lol. You know, if you wern't being such a douche about it, I would be happy to make changes to your specification.
HIM says:
Cool
Send me Castle so someone with programming knowledge can actually do it
Those are changes "to my specification"
ME says:
Sorry, I made a promise to Abra not to give it out.
HIM says:
Sure you did.
I'm also sure he even sent it to you
considering he quit BYOND long before you started
ME says:
True, it was mere chance he was on
I often see him on AIM though
HIM says:
Really
What's his AIM
ME says:
He told me to add the Priest class, and he is soon to be sending me the Spacecastle souce.
Source*
I would tell you, but then you would go and spread shit about me.
HIM says:
Oh no, if he is your friend, he wouldn't believe it anyway
You not telling me just proves my point you didn't get it from him
ME says:
Honestly I did, check the hub

HIM says:
That proves jack squat.
I can say Tom sent me BYOND's source
Does that make it true?
What's Abra's AIM?
ME says:
It truely is sad that you are being suck a douchey critic. I like critics generally, they help me to improve any games I may have, but when they are all zomgugai, then it's just pointless, the only reason I'm still here is being I enjoy a good argument, but I see now that it isn't even much of a good one, as you seem to not take both sides of the story into account.
Dissapointing.
HIM says:
What side is there to take account?
You disagreeing with me
?
ME says:
The side that maybe when I first got the source I was inexperienced coder, I was poor to be honest.
HIM says:
Cool.
Don't care at all.
What's Abra's AIM?
ME says:
The fact that scince then I've been able to learn, thanks to Abra. I owe him so much, yet people still critisize all my work.
Just because I like to do it differently.
HIM says:
You didn't learn.
You don't learn from sources.
ME says:
Instead of forcing people along a set path, I like to let them choose for themself.
I did. And that you can't disprove.
HIM says:
Uh yeah, I can disprove.
You don't learn anything from sources.
ME says:
I did I'm afraid.
I learnt to source.
Program*
HIM says:
Rip.
You only learn to rip from other sources.
Proven fuckin' fact.
ME says:
I learnt to code.
HIM says:
Give me Abra's AIM.
ME says:
No?
HIM says:
Why?
ME says:
Because the only thing you will do is pester him for the source, then put me down and probably spread lies like level 40 Dragonslayers
HIM says:
Oh no, I won't.
I want to congratulate him for making such a wonderful game.
ME says:
Aaand back to the douche.
HIM says:
How?
Learn what douche means, please.
ME says:
Shit.
Back to the shit.
Bullshit to be presice
HIM says:
No.
I never got to talk to Abra
Castle was a game I used to play almost daily
I'd like a chance to talk to the game owner atleast once.
ME says:
Would you like me to make the game as you liked it?
HIM says:
You mean just upload the original? cool.
ME says:
I don't have access to the hub, But I can simply remove the new difficultys and enemy counts.
HIM says:
Castle/Space Castle should be left as-is tbj.
tbh*
ME says:
Well well, the first bit of non hate so far! Well atleast we're getting somwhere.
HIM says:
Not really, as you still won't tell me Abra's AIM.
ME says:
Spacecaslte I mainly just wish to fix the bugs.
HIM says:
(you wont)
ME says:
Castle I have done Abra's will, and then some. However, I do see the popularity of it has dropped, and I often wondered what was the reason.
HIM says:
...
...
you actually wondered why...
...?
ME says:
Yes, because contrary to popular belief, I actually can code.
HIM says:
...
cool
What's Abra's AIM?
Quit dodging the question, thanks.
ME says:
I'm not going to tell you, so either give it up or stop talking
HIM says:
You won't tell because you don't have it.
ME says:
I do have it.
I just don't wish to give it to you.
HIM says:
Riiight.
I have the source to BYOND
but I don't wanna give it to you.
ME says:
It is a common trick you are doing, one which will not work on me, for the simple reason I know what I know.
HIM says:
What trick?
There's no proof whatso-fuckin-ever you ever even talked to Abra.
ME says:
Aside from the hub, and the fact I have possibly one of the most sought after sources ever, Sure.
HIM says:
You don't have the source. Hex-editting = possible, Abra putting up a fake-version = moreso
ME says:
...You can't get the source without it litterally being sent to you.
It's impossible to decompile a .dmb file.
Well possible yes,
But
HIM says:
...keep proving your dumbness.
ME says:
You would just get a big file of random letters.
HIM says:
ERR! WRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRONG!
ME says:
I hope you don't mind me blogging this btw, I often blog my convorsations with idiots who refuse to take no for an answer.
HIM says:
mob
var
demon="Yes"
Can turn into
mob/var/Yes="Yes"
Your just going to edit it to make me look like the bad guy
ME says:
No I won't.
HIM says:
To get publicity for your rips
ME says:
I don't have any running rips.
Wherever you get your information from is obviously mentally impaired.
HIM says:
the fact you ever did is fucking retarded


and then I blocked him.
