Way back in the eighties there was a legendary platformer called Ghosts ‘n Goblins. It was notorious for being very challenging, yet lots of fun. And its creepy, Halloween-like setting made it a favourite all around the world. Suddenly, the series is back. Despite the shinny new visuals, the game keeps very true to the original series. It’s still a sidescrolling platformer, and the hero still has his quirky movements as he jumps, throws spears and uses other weapons, as well as getting crazy power-ups. One of these, for example, turns all the enemies on the screen into toads! This is not a remake, but is a new game with new levels and boss battles to experience. But it’s still tough. The fact that enemies can come at you from any direction all the time offers an old-school challenge, if you’re up for it.
GAMESTA RATING – 4/5 Trick or Treat
