Our take on Ghoul Smash
The focus on simple, mouse-driven combat keeps the core interaction narrow, so players give up the broader movement, exploration, and dialogue systems found in many action-RPGs.
What is Ghoul Smash?
Ghoul Smash combines turn-based physics combat with action-RPG progression.
Players use mouse-based clicking and dragging to hurl a character into enemies, defeat bosses, and collect randomly generated equipment. The game includes 2 acts divided into 20 stages, with multiple enemy types, 50+ skills, leveling, skill points, crafting, shopping, and forging. Equipment has individual statistics and visual designs, allowing different combinations for melee, magic, or ranged play. The item pool contains over 300 pieces of equipment, while scaling endgame content extends progression beyond the main stages. Hardcore mode provides a higher-challenge option. The vendor also lists Easter eggs and secrets, and states that six classes with passive bonuses are planned for the full release.
