This is a list of the top five hardest castles levels in video game history. As the title suggests, the list focuses on the castles which the author thought were the most difficult, rather than which ones he liked the most.

Castle levels have been some of the most exciting moments to come from the video game medium. Going from outside levels to incandescently designed castles was always a nice change in scenery. The enemies changed, the music changed, and most importantly, the mood changed. In this article we are not simply delving into the quality of castle levels though. We are delving into the hardest castle levels in the video game medium. There were plenty to choose from. At first, we wanted to make this a top ten hardest castles of all time list, but upon second thought we decided to change it to a top five. There was a logic to this. The five castles on this list we felt to be much more difficult than the other difficult castles making the rest of the top 10 list. The lack of consistency between these five and the other five made us cut out the other five we had in mind. These castles on this list we spent hours trying to master and conquer. Some of the staff here at Old-Wizard haven’t even beaten one of these levels. Only one of our staff members and beaten them all, and we already knew beforehand that he wasn’t human. Here then are Old-Wizard’s top five hardest castle levels of all time.
