Xbox Series X PC Windows Xbox One

Ghostlore is an action-RPG based on Southeast-Asian folklore that offers an expansive character and item customization system, unique Glyph and skill Glyph systems, and captivating 2D isometric art. Encounter over 40 different enemies and unleash your hero's powers using multiclassing, Glyphs, weapons, amulets, and Talismans. Local and online multiplayer support adds to its exciting gameplay. However, the game is still a work-in-progress, and players should only purchase it if they are comfortable with its current state.


What we like:
  • Customizable character builds with multiclassing
  • Charming pixelated graphics and unique aesthetic
  • Interesting glyph and skill glyph system
  • Decent loot drops and equipment with passive stats
  • Endless mode for farming levels and gear
What could be improved:
  • Limited content and needs more story
  • Balancing issues for solo play
  • Respecs are expensive
  • Melee skills don't scale as well
