Castle of Illusion Wiki

This game gives me so much nostalgia and happiness! It reminds me of the times I went to Disney! Not just that but even if you haven’t been to Disney you will still know the plot because the game explains everything so you won’t be confused at all. The creatures are so mystical looking and just are cool looking. The plot is very well thought out. This game just makes me happy! The game is also great for adults as well. I remember about 2 years ago (the first time I played this game) my dad would help me out with the parts I got stuck on and would sometime even just play by himself in his free time! I could go on about this game for a long time but that’s what I thought was the most important for you to know! I definitely recommend this game to you and if you are the creator of this game...YOU DID AMAZING I’m only 12 and I think this is the best game ever just to play in your free time and have fun! All in all this game is awesome and well done to!!!

A masterpiece of an ios game. Never played it on the Genesis but for the iphone it is a slam dunk of a game. Humorous, witty, and fun! Reminds me of old platform games like megaman, sonic, etc where there is a boss you have to kill after each "world". Only problem is the 3D jumping parts. If you hate jumping like in Turok then you'll have your share of frustrations. People complain it's short but for $1 its worth it. Even $3 it's great! I played on a plane for 2 hours straight and I think I'm a little over half through. It can be challenging to even a seasoned gamer but the fact that you don't just die and start the entire game over is great. Miss a ledge... no problem there's sublevels to explore. Great for kids and tough enough for gamers (due to touch controls). I just don't want to ever see the licorice dragon ever again!

This is one of a few iOS games that I have ever completed. Disney's Castle of Illusion takes me down memory lane as it is the first Sega Genesis game I ever purchased. At first, I was somewhat disappointed that this version has a whole new soundtrack and narration, as I was hoping to get that nostalgic feel. However, after completing the game and looking around in the options I realized that there was an option for the classic soundtrack. Perfect! Castle of Illusion is a true side scrolling adventure reimagined in a '3-D' world. The graphic are beautiful, perhaps even stunning. The levels are challenging sometimes frustrating. The game mechanics and controls take some getting used to but, in my opinion, it adds to the challenge, rather than take away from the fun factor (After all I was able complete it in only a few days). As someone who is no longer an avid gamer I think SEGA did a remarkable job. I am thrilled that I could play a game that I played as a child and I hope to see many more classics reimagined though I doubt I'd have the time to play them all as I did when I was a kid, but I never would have imagined that I would have had the time and dedication to complete this challenging game either. Thanks SEGA.

It's mostly a 2D scroller, sort of like the old Mario games on Nintendo. Every now and then it transitions to full 3D movement. Both are done well and are quite fun, and the transition between 2D and 3D is super smooth. The look of the game is well-done and very cute, the animation smooth, and the gameplay mildly challenging (just the right level of difficulty for a casual game...though a bit tricky for young kids). While most of the game seems to support retina graphics, there are some strange graphics sprinkled through that are HIGHLY compressed, low resolution, and quite jaggy (some images in picture frames in the castle, the subtitles throughout the game, and some of the on screen status indicators). However, though strangely low resolution, these graphics don't detract too much, and overall the game looks fantastic. In addition to being a great game, there are also no in-app purchases, which is PERFECT. In-app purchases ruin otherwise fun games and always leave me wishing I could just purchase the full game and play without being pushed to buy more. With Castle of Illusion, I could, and I loved it. Let's stop supporting games that contain in-app purchases.

I love this app I have had it for about 3 years now and I originally was going to get it 4 years ago but I found out that Disney said that they were not supporting this app anymore more and It would not work on iOS 11 and then as soon as I saw that it got updated I bought it it was about 5 dollars and honestly I think that this game is so hard I did not even beat the game yet but I am only 12 years old going to be 13 in June so I feel like I got it to soon I feel like I should have gotten this when I was a adult but I was worried that this would stop supporting again so I bought it anyway and to be honest this game gets updated regularly like every 3-18 months or so but this is a really good game 5 stars

I've been waiting and hoping for this app to go on sale. Once it did I didn't hesitate to purchase it, and I don't regret it one bit! Here's why: Gameplay is smooth as silk. Controls are easy and not complicated; jump, move, and throw. That's it. The storyline is interesting and feels like an actual videogame, and keeps me interested in playing. I'm excited to see what level is next. My only complaint is that the levels are somewhat sloppy for an iPhone game. It's hard to see if you have been everywhere in the level because you are unable to "look around" and it doesn't exactly follow a pathway straight through. Otherwise, this is completely worth five bucks! Way to go Disney and Sega!

I don’t know how anyone could rate this game poorly. It’s absolutely stunning, with both the graphics and the gameplay. You feel like you’re really there. The concept seems so simple and easy but it is a very difficult game, despite how easy it is to grasp. I am on the last stage of the game, and have been playing for a few months, so that’s about how long it could take you to complete it. You can play as many times as you want. Not to mention the ad free gameplay and immersive, real experience. You don’t have to wait to refill you lives or anything. If you have $4.99 on the App Store, please please purchase. You absolutely won’t regret it.

Who said Disney is just for little kids? This game is awesome for adults! There are so many levels and the concept of this game is really easy. You play as Mickey to defeat evil though all different levels inside of a castle to save minnie!!!! The controls are a little sensitive, but you will get use to it. The game also give personalization options for control. You can pick to your liking. Basically, you can switch/adjust the controls to fit what's easier for you. This game takes concentration, skill, and patience! I'm so addicted to this game and I highly recommend it! So start downloading and let's save Minnie!!!!!!!!!!! :)

Overall, I think that it’s a great game. It’s so hard to get the 800 diamonds. And so many more things to get like statute pieces. I got this game a good 2-3 years ago forgetting it after a year or so but the moment I remembered it I got so excited. The masters of illusion are a good not easy but not impossible (clock master, candy snake, and green monster gang are the hardest). The way they hid the diamonds and cards and chilli peppers is amazing. Also, if your get to Israel’s last life and miss and have to do it again I am so sorry. Plus, at the beginning of the battle with Israel you can see Minnie smiling even though her beauty and youth is about to be taken away. Like, come on! 🤬 Any way, buy it cause the $4.99 is worth it! 😀👍

I bought this during the $0.99 sale only to find out that I could not install it since it claims it is not compatible with the iPad 2. I installed the game on a friends iPad 4 and backed up the application to an ipa file using a Windows application called iTools. I then restored the ipa to my iPad 2 and to my surprise, the game is running fairly well (so far). I won't be disappointed if it glitches/crashes later on, but just wanted to let iPad 2 users know that there is a way to get it installed and running. Have fun! UPDATE: Just finished the game without any issues. Still do not understand why installing on an iPad 2 is blocked. Updated to four stars.

I'll start off by saying I originally bought this Game for my PlayStation a long time ago. I loved it so much and decided that I wanted to get it on the go. I bought this app and have been playing it just fine. The controls work excellent and the game holds up just as well on iOS. The only issue, and it is a major one, is that there is no audio. The only sounds are the effects from enemies and Mickey himself, but there is no music. It completely ruins the atmosphere of the game and honestly is a huge disappointment for a paid app. I also got a message saying that this app would not work with future versions of iOS. I don't know if the developers have abandoned it or not, but A fix for the audio issues would be fantastic and definitely make this a five star app. It would make it more worth the money. Do not buy this if you value the whole game experience.

I played this game sometime last year (2015) and loved it. There were some challenges at certain parts, but doable. Controls could be better on iPhone. I know there's a PC version, but I've never played it so I can't compare- I'm assuming that the PC controls are better to handle. I downloaded this game again partly because I was bored and I wanted to replay it. Here we are now a year later and there's no music and I'm having issues with the narration. Only the opening part has music, but when I'm playing the game, narration gets cut off all the time with no music. The only sounds I have are the noises Mickey makes and other character sounds. I wish they would fix/update it cause it's not as fun playing without the soundtrack- the music fit well with the game. Once they update it, everything might be good. For now, I'll have to do 3 stars until they fix it.

To start on a positive note this game was really fun I enjoyed it a lot. There were some challenging levels but I was able to get through them with a bit of practice. I ended up finishing the whole game and going through all the levels only to find that I had statue pedestals without statues. I googled which ones went where and after realizing I had already beat those levels I decided to try again. After numerous time of beating the levels they still didn’t show up. It’s kind of disappointing to have to pay $6 for a short game only to find that it doesn’t work. It’s still a fun game and all the levels worked fine but it’s annoying that it didn’t work. I am going to try to get a refund because this is not the game I paid for.

This game was good at the start but there are 2 levels that are stupid difficult when I got this game I got it for my son and he had a lot of fun on it but when I was doing paper work on my computer he said “dad can you help me pass this level and so I helped him but when I tried to do it it was sooooooo hard I I’ve played hundreds of mobile games like this and not all of them were too hard but this one was the worst out of all of them because the level my son wanted me to help him with was like a candy level sorta thing and I’ve never played the game before but I have played games like this one like I said so I pretty much knew what I was doing as I was trying to pass the level I swear to god I thought my head was going to explode so I helped him but I eventuality gave up and I said to my son sorry son I really can’t pass this level so a couple days later my son stopped playing it entirely so I tried it and it was pretty good from the start and then I finally passed the candy level before or after the level I can’t remember. I came across this library level that actually make me my head look like a tomato it was so confusing and so frustrating on so many levels so I just eventually deleted the app.. I do and don’t recommend this game so if your looking to rage and like puzzles get this game but I don’t recommend this at all to any people with serious anger issues. Good day.
