Our take on Ghosts 'n Goblins Resurrection
The store copy gives considerable space to the storybook setting and series legacy, but the practical pitch is a demanding action game built around repeated attempts. Its co-op is local only, so the invitation to play with friends does not extend to online sessions.
What is Ghosts 'n Goblins Resurrection?
Arthur sets out for the Demon Realm after the Demon Lord kidnaps the princess.
Progress through spooky stages filled with enemies, learning their patterns and adjusting tactics through repeated attempts. The game emphasizes high difficulty and offers 8 weapon types, including the Lance, Dagger, Hammer, and Spiked Ball. Arthur can also learn magic and skills, such as a four-direction lightning attack and an ability that expands his inventory. Play alone or use local two-player co-op, where a friend controls one of the Three Wise Guys as support. Co-op requires two controllers; online play is not supported.
