Defend your castle from brave (and pesky) heroes
Embrace villainy in the all-new roguelite mode
Personalize your own evil lair

Grumpyface Studios has officially released Castle Doombad: Free to Slay for iOS and Android, delivering a fresh twist on mobile gaming by letting you play as the villain. As Dr. Lord Evilstein, it's your job to protect your sinister domain from heroic intrusions—because seriously, can't you just enjoy your peace without some knight barging in?

In Castle Doombad, you’ll design and manage deadly traps to stop waves of do-gooders in their tracks. With more than 70 campaign levels, you'll need to stay one step ahead of those overly confident adventurers. Unlock over 30 unique traps, upgrade your arsenal, and make sure no hero leaves your castle unscathed.

Every great villain needs a lair, and in this game, you get to customize yours with a variety of cosmetic items known as "spoils." These include sinister artifacts and questionable loot collected along the way—because what’s a villain without style?

For those who enjoy variety, the roguelite mode “Dr. Lord Evilstein’s Roguevenge” throws you into dynamically generated levels where you must outsmart and overpower waves of heroes as the ultimate evil genius.
