in the past Gamescom, we had the opportunity to test a large number of games that will be released in the coming months. One of the most attractive bets’Ghostbusters: Released Spirits‘, the same studio that created the fun co-op roguelite shooter ‘Arcadegeddon’, a 4v1 co-op hunting/chasing action game developed by asymmetric multiplayer experts Illfonic.
Naturally, dedication makes us a Ghost Hunters He will have to catch various beings and ghosts. During the demo we accessed at the Germany fair, we tried to hunt Slimer with our three other friends. It must be admitted that the title is not devoid of detail. In the delivery showing the historical appeal of the series, we can find all the gadgets we already know from the legendary films: the Ecto backpack, the sensor that tells us if there is ghostly activity nearby, the proton equipment, and the ectoplasm weapon (important, we mustn’t forget!) that will help us catch enemies and lock them into the ghost trap.
just like movies fiction, our team will have high-tech components to capture and contain ghosts, as well as close portals to another dimension opened by our viscous enemy. On this occasion we managed to enjoy a large map divided into several rooms where our sticky hero roams around and opens portals to take over all the rooms, defending them and hiding in everyday objects such as lamp boxes, plaques. players… and it’s our turn, we’ll have to find and close different portals. Of course, shooting everything that moves here is not worth it, because the game saves money from our destruction.
Unlike other games, in ‘Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed’ we are not dealing with an AI with programmed behavior, we are dealing with another user trying to defend their territory and taking the lead in every way. Our skinny dear little friend is up against four players and yet has the upper hand individually, so we’ll have to unite to fight him. In addition, Slimer will be able to scare unsuspecting citizens and bystanders (NPCs) have items from rooms roaming maps or trying to sneak past ghost hunters, teleport to other rooms and more.
The title offers entertainment for all types of gamers, from those who want to work side-by-side with the company. lone wolves who had a great time running away from the clutches of the other four. The Slimer won’t die until all portals are closed, so catching the ghost becomes a secondary objective and that’s why most color matches take place near a portal.
On a visual level, the game is in keeping with the very colorful graphics and effects, a perfect blend of fun and sobriety. The same thing happens with sound, with an environment that keeps us in constant tension. In short, ‘Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed’ offers a very satisfying and entertaining experience, both in the role of ghostbusters and in Slimer’s slimy appearance. It is scheduled for release on PC via the Epic Games Store on October 18, 2022. PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One.
