GHOST N GOBLINS


SYSTEM: MAME Arcade, Android
GENRE: Action Arcade

Ghosts 'N Goblins is a sideways scrolling action platformer spread over six levels, each of which must be completed within three minutes (or a life is lost), taking in forest, village, mountain and cavern settings with increasing difficulty. Arthur the brave knight must rescue his beloved Princess from the Demon King Astaroth and his forces - amongst them are the various undead (ghosts, zombies), bats, ogres and goblins. Other challenges include moving platforms, ladders and water/fire hazards. The player can walk left and right, jump, and is also equipped with a lance to use as a weapon. Getting hit by enemies causes Arthur to lose his armor and run around in his underpants, getting hit again will cause the player to lose a life. As in most games in this genre, the player can pick up power-ups such as daggers and bombs during the course of the game, giving the player greater firepower.

Capcom released a mobile remake of its action platform game Ghosts ‘n Goblins that originally debuted back in 1985. The remake is titled Ghosts ‘n Goblins MOBILE and seemingly boasts the same gameplay mechanics that were featured in the seminal arcade game. As for the game itself, it has players assume the role of Sir Arthur who’s fighting hordes of demons and undead creatures on his quest to save princess Prin-Prin. The gameplay mechanics and controls are simple to grasp but difficult to master as you’ll certainly die a lot while playing Ghosts ‘n Goblins MOBILE. Sir Arthur may be the legendary warrior that survived many battles, but he still can’t take more than a couple of hits before perishing and this game will have you endure much more than that before you learn the enemy patterns and level layouts and start navigating your surroundings in an efficient manner. The original game was notorious for its difficulty and the mobile remake is seemingly no different, even though its controls translate reasonably well to virtual buttons.
As most contemporary games are nowhere near as challenging as Ghosts ‘n Goblins, Capcom included a new Casual difficulty with this release that’s supposed to be a bit more forgiving towards newcomers, but it can still be frustrating at times if you aren’t used to playing retro games.
