Untold Tales of Citadale: The Shadow Maker

I went in expecting a straightforward retro RPG, and that's pretty much what Untold Tales of Citadale delivers. You're Gabriel Gorleac, working through a top-down 2D castle filled with undead and environmental puzzles. The pixel art is genuinely appealing, and the turn-based combat system moves at a decent pace without demanding much tactical depth. It's the kind of game that respects your time. The real draw here is the metroidvania structure, you'll unlock new abilities that open up previously inaccessible areas, which keeps exploration from feeling stale. That said, this is a short adventure; don't expect 40+ hours or a sprawling narrative arc. It's a bite-sized dungeon romp with a clear goal and no padding. If you want a cozy, pixel-art RPG you can finish in a weekend, this fits. If you need character development or branching questlines, look elsewhere.
