Ghostlight Manor Reviews

This game is incredible after you get through the tutorial levels!

This is a wonderful little game. The art is cute, the music is charming while also being spooky and there is enough challenge to make each level feel like an accomplishment and extra objectives to add another layer for those who like their games harder. 10/10 would spook again.

I've been watching this game since the Greenlight campaign and I wasn't sure if it was going to feel like a mobile port from the videos, but it looks better than I was expecting. It's not a super-exciting visual experience, but it looks good and has a lot of personality. Reminds me a of a Popcap game, like a cross between Peggle and Plants vs. Zombies. I'd say this is like a tactical strategy game for people who like casual and puzzle games. It doesn't really fit in any genres exactly but it's turn based and you need to think about what you're doing. Pros [list] [*]The gameplay is unique and the challenges are fun, I played last night for like 5 hours [*]The sound design and music is good and the soundtrack is a nice bonus [*]The graphics aren't that exciting but they don't suck and work for the game [*]There seems to be a decent amount of content, I played for about 5 hours and made it to level 27 out of 56 [*]You earn coins by completing objectives and need to use them to unlock new areas of the map [/list] Cons [list] [*]There's only one difficulty level and it was pretty easy to complete most main objectives, but some of the bonuses at least are really hard. There should be a "hard" mode. [*]No variation in level layouts, there's a lot of variation in objectives but it would be more fun to have different kinds of layouts instead of always the same grid [*] No multiplayer although apparently it's coming next year and will be a free upgrade [*] This game feels like it should have a level editor so people can make their own levels [*] The soundtrack is nice but there should be a cheaper version without it [/list] Overall I'm really liking this and it's a nice change of pace. Looking forward to multiplayer and whatever the expansion is about as long as it's free like they say. :P
