Castle Dukenstein

Castle Dukenstein is for version 1.3. It has 20 levels in 2 episodes and the file is 2.0MB in size. The file name is CastleDukensteinv612.zip. It was last updated on February 11, 2000.

Castle Dukenstein episode 1 is OK, nothing special, like the original game with less secret areas to find. I don't think an almost straight Wolfenstein 3D conversion translates well when using the Doom or Duke3D engine. Without the treasure or point counter it gets boring very fast. The best Wolf3D conversions I've played have been for Doom2 and went way past the basic Wolf3D scenario. (Operation Artic Wolf and Operation Rheingold come to mind). Note: it has one funny little bug. The soldiers seem to grow from tiny to normal size when you walk into a room. Episode 2 in this version is a big improvement over Episode 1. More features like working switchs, including light switchs, different bad guys, some of them from Wolfenstein 3D mods, make it more interesting. I rate the newer Episode 2 as good with 3 out of 5 stars.
