Welcome to The Stone of Madness
If you’ve ever wondered what would happen if Commandos went rogue in a Metroidvania style, look no further! The Stone of Madness, the latest from the devs behind Blasphemous, is here to kick your nostalgia into high gear. Picture this: a Spanish monastery, a band of comrades, and a quest that would make even the most resilient Green Beret question his sanity. Sounds familiar, right?
A Walk Down Memory Lane
Now, while The Stone of Madness brings fresh madness to the gaming scene, it also reminded me of a little gem from my childhood—Prisoner of War. Remember that third-person stealth/adventure treasure on the original Xbox? You played a clever WWII pilot attempting to escape infamous prisons like Stalag Luft and Colditz. Those open camp designs and the neatly scheduled prison life made for thrilling escapes, albeit graphics that resembled a Morrowind mod!
What Makes The Stone of Madness Unique?
Back to this new magnificent madness! In The Stone of Madness, you and your mates are up against the clock in an 18th-century asylum, plotting your escape while unraveling challenging puzzles and engaging foes. With each turn, the game’s atmosphere immerses you in a beautifully rendered yet eerily unsettling environment. Devs behind Blasphemous have perfected the art of the unexpected—just when you think you have a handle on the escape plan, you might just lose your grip on reality!
So, if you find yourself yearning for games that evoke memories of adventurous escapes and strategic play, The Stone of Madness is your next must-experience title. Grab your controller, and let’s dive into the madness together!
