Press Release

Paris, France – August 1st, 2026 - Meringue Rouge has announced the release date for their 3D arcade-inspired action RPG game, Ecrazeus Castle, alongside a new trailer and an updated demo on Steam.


The game is scheduled to release on August 24th, 2026 on Steam, at https://store.steampowered.com/app/4106270/Ecrazeus_Castle/

The cute and bouncy action RPG sets you off as either an angel, Faune, or a demon, Hime-Alice, in a quest to claim a massive, free castle from their owner, Ecrazeus, and establish a flagship store for their store empire, Wizamart! With three different courses featuring unique levels per course, players must first grind power-ups, collect weapons and items, all while defeating foes to keep the timer running for as long as possible in randomly selected levels with occasional room events. Once the time runs out, they’ll head towards the course’s dungeon, where stronger foes, challenging trials, and a unique boss per course await.
In addition to English, French and Spanish, the game will now support Russian and Japanese text! And finally, a new version of the demo has been released onto Steam, with the added languages, latest updates (including balance changes and the Pistol type weapons), and fixes ported over from the current development build.


Features


  • Arcade-like Inspiration: It's not a rogue-like! You can complete the game on your first run, in either a single course mode (Quickplay), or a continuous, three courses in a row mode (Quest), with no mandatory unlocks from previous runs required to win!
  • Cute and Bouncy Characters: Play as a cute angel store clerk, Faune, or an equally cute demon CEO of a massive shopping corporation, Hime-Alice, and dash, stomp, smash, and push foes away into the void!
  • Dual-Wield 60+ Weapon Variations: Collect and dual-wield from 8 broad weapon types, and utilize their diverse, and sometimes un-optimal effects: shoot beams from a sword, charge a laser beam from a minigun, summon chicken from a staff, and more!
  • Some Randomized Elements: The room selection, weapon drops, special room events, and more, keep each playthrough varied!
  • Unlock Secrets with Achievements: Complete achievements to unlock bonuses such as secret characters, outfits, mini-games, and more! (You can also unlock the rewards without having to complete the task, using currency earned throughout the runs, but you'll still need to accomplish the task to unlock the online achievement.)
  • Online & Local Leaderboards: Challenge yourself and the world with leaderboards for each course and Quest mode!


Pricing: $4.99 USD (with a 10% launch discount). Regional pricing applies.
Platform: Steam (Windows) Steam store page: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4106270/Ecrazeus_Castle/
