you might know this as Resident Evil 4
eventually brings you out of the rural
Eastern European style village that you
have been exploring for the first chunk
of the game and threw you into a giant
castle filled with angry cultists
Salazar’s castle is memorable because it
through the fantastic Resident Evil 4 on
its head by switching up the game’s
atmosphere entirely this castle isn’t
for the faint of heart filled with
devastating monsters the mysterious
Lawson lumenarrows priests and monks
with all sorts of deadly weapons and
most importantly the creepy Napoleon
want to be caretaker Ramon Salazar me
llamo La Mancha Lassa the eighth
castellon of this magnificent
architecture number 8 Castle Wolfenstein
Wolfenstein series Oh Castle Wolfenstein
has made appearances in most of the
entries in this long-running series any
Castle that acts as a hideout for
robotically modified Nazis toting
machine guns spectral Hitler envoys and
hundreds of Nazi grunts deserves a spot
on this list as Americans 5bj blaskowitz
you were initially held captive in
Castle Wolfenstein and must stage a
daring escape so you can regroup and
begin the resistance against Hitler who
is in the midst of creating an army of
undead soldiers
in case you were curious these games
aren’t historically accurate
number seven more drock’s castle
Dragon’s Lair Dragon’s Lair was well
ahead of its time by using laser disk
technology to provide arguably the first
cinematic experience in gaming as Dirk
the daring you are tasked with rescuing
the beautiful princess Daphne from the
evil dragon singe who has trapped her in
the wizard ward rocks Castle he saved me
the cage is locked with the key though
the gameplay was limited to QuickTime
events and single button presses
Dragon’s Lair did an amazing job of
showcasing a fully living breathing
Castle environment filled with monsters
and death traps at every turn seriously
who’d want to live in a place like that
number six the blue palace elder scrolls
Skyrim it’s settled then
brief his life can be in Skyrim at least
we’ll have each other in a game that’s
packed with impressive structures and
mighty castles it’s difficult to pick
one that stands out above the rest with
unique architecture the blue palace in
solitude stands out as one of the most
memorable structures in the entire Elder
Scrolls series it’s an honorary title
mainly but there are a few perks someone
like you could make use of built upon an
immense stone arch that bridges over the
car three ver solitude and its castle
can be spotted from a great distance but
gods are watching the spirits of our
ancestors are staring number five Hyrule
Castle The Legend of Zelda series the
geographical centerpiece of most Zelda
games Hyrule Castle is home to Princess
Zelda depictions of Hyrule Castle vary
but it usually plays an important role
in the story and sometimes acts as a
playable dungeon
Hyrule Castle first appeared in the
Super Nintendo classic a Link to the
Past in which the evil Ganon uses it as
a hideout after kidnapping Zelda though
the coolest depiction of Hyrule Castle
is in Wind Waker where the castle has
been submerged underwater for eons and
all of its inhabitants are frozen in
suspended animation
number 4 dr. Wily’s castle Mega Man
series the hideout of the insane
scientist dr. wily this castle is the
only one on this list in the shape of a
giant malevolent human skull
Wiley’s castle makes it appearance as
the final stage in most of the original
Mega Man games given that said games are
notoriously difficult you can expect the
final stage to be nearly impossible
filled with tough enemies lots of
precise platforming sections rematches
against the games earlier bosses and of
course dr. wily himself usually piloting
some sort of death machine
number three drag like Castle Dark Souls
– you have fought admirably on your
journey cuz it undead
I am nashandra Queen adrenalin drag lick
is the land in which dark souls2 unfolds
a massive and treacherous place that
though a formerly prestigious and
peaceful land has fallen under hard
times with the advent of a nasty undead
curse try anglich castle the Royal
Family’s former headquarters acts as the
gateway to the throne of want a source
of extreme power as you can imagine the
monsters and traps in this massive
castle are insanely difficult but then
again this is Dark Souls we’re talking
about is there anything that’s not
insanely difficult
number two Bowser’s Castle Super Mario
series and Mario Kart series the mario
series is likely responsible for
popularizing castles and video games
from the end stage castles in Super
Mario 2 Princess Peach’s castle acting
as a central hub in Super Mario 64 and
most notably Bowser’s Castle
is there a villain with a worse princess
kidnapping track record than Bowser
before rescuing Princess Peach you’ll
find tons of lava spikes Kubas goombas
and Bowser himself patiently waiting to
have his head stomped in in Mario Kart
Bowser’s Castle acts as a series staple
in each game as an infuriating track
filled with lava pits swamps and sharp
turns
before we climb the ramparts of our top
pick here are a few honorable mentions
number one Dracula’s castle Castlevania
Symphony of the Night I was called here
by humans who wish to pay me tribute
Dracula’s castle has made appearances
throughout the Castlevania series but
it’s at its most iconic in the ps1
Metroidvania classic Symphony of the
Night packed to the gills with monsters
bosses treasures and secrets Dracula’s
castle feels like one of the most
expansive environments in gaming history
for protagonists a la carte is tasked
with destroying the castle and its owner
Dracula but his mission gets turned
upside down literally as in when you
think you’re about to reach the end of
the game you realize it’s only halfway
done when you have to go through the
whole castle again upside down is this a
cheap design trick or a brilliant
gameplay choice yeah it can be both do
you agree with our list which castle
would you want to live in yeah once the
monster problem was fixed for more well
