Late last year Spanish indie game maker ‘Locomalito’ released his latest ‘big’ game… The beautifully Ghosts n Goblins-esque Maldita Castilla.
Just prior to the game’s release, I got chatting to ‘Loco’ (real name, unknown) and he told me a bit about the inspiration he’d got from researching Spanish history, characters and landscapes.
For example, the main character is based on El Cid (immortalised in the statue below). He was a well-known Spanish hero, who inspired many myths.
