Violence Gameplay focuses on battling hordes of enemies in constantly moving 2D battlefield. The animated graphics and paper-like art style help soften the level of violence. There's no blood or gore, enemies simply disappear into small little ghosts.

Scary Imagery Castlebound features a large variety of fantasy monsters as enemies. The graveyard region focuses on undead creatures such as zombies, mummies, and disembodied hands.
