TLDR: The Temu version of G n G. I mean, I remember Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts being balls hard and chalk full of secret chests but this game is just ridiculous. 229 of these umbral bee things to collect, some of which the conditions are absolutely absurd and some of which are literally randomized... like they can just appear in chests or not appear, so have fun re-re-re-re running a stage over and over until you want …

DON'T BUY THIS, NOT EVEN ON A SALE. RNG ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ that's not worth the time or effort, you don't get better at the game, you just get lucky. You are gambling vs enemies with invincible hitboxes, angles impossible to cover, off screen proyectiles, enemies spawning in your exact same location when you are fighting a mob, this game is not hard, is poorly designed.

As a long time fan of this infamously difficult franchise including Ghosts 'n Goblins/Ghouls 'n Ghosts, Gargoyle's Quest, and Maximo, this is a fairly well made and faithful return to the original series that started it all. Once again, this franchise continues to be one of the most consistent in all of gaming. Out of the three series I mentioned, there isn't a single bad game in any of them. Some titles are …

Sure, it's hard - like, super hard - but in its current form, it's also full of checkpoints, save markers, and other crutches that prevent the user from having to go far back after their many inevitable deaths. I'm not all that good at action platformers anymore, and I never managed to get far in this game at the arcade or on old consoles, but I've been having a blast chugging through this remake. Yes, I die a lot, …

Solid Ghost and Goblins. Prepare to die, a lot, and not in a fair way. Your patience will be tested. The game is brutal, period. Yes, there are lower difficulties that make your journey easier... but in order to taste the real G&G experience Legend is the real deal. Back in the day there was no other difficulty except: "You WILL cry". Few games have make me thought quitting without beating them, and this is …

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Extremely difficult but honestly one of the most relaxing platformers to play to me. I wish people didn't consider it outdated, because it's absolutely not and it's a largely extremely well-designed platformer, one that I vastly prefer to most modern precision platformers.

neutral · AI labelView post →I've played almost every Ghouls 'n Goblins / Ghouls 'n Ghosts.. one thing is for sure, RE Engine is not built for platform, the game looks ugly with that horrible artstyle they picked, mix it with RE Engine's horrible input lag. CAPCOM seems to have forgotten the difference between hard and rage bait difficulty, which this game leans more with the latter. Play Super Ghouls and Ghosts on the SNES instead, alternatively the CAPCOM ARCADE Collection does have the Ghouls and Goblins original.

positive · AI labelView post →"Look at this. Look at what they make you give." If you don't know what's being resurrected here — run away. Curious about the series? Play Ghouls'n Ghosts, it's the best one by a mile. Resurrection, on the other hand, is the worst one. Yes, even worse than the original psp game. Too annoying and tedious to be enjoyable in any way. Imagine playing minesweeper blindfolded, imagine bashing your head against the wall until the wall breaks. That's the gameplay of GNGR for you. Being annoying can…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you're getting stripped down to your underwear and relentlessly beaten on repeat you are either incarsarated in a government black site or playing Ghosts 'n Goblins.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Honestly, the gameplay is pretty great if you're coming from the expectations of the original series. The game has one HUGE flaw though; every time you die (and you will die, like 50 times per stage going thru the first time), the continue screen DEFAULTS TO 'QUIT MY LAST CHECKPOINT AND LOSE PROGRESS'. Are you kidding me? Adding such toxic UI design on top of an already hard game makes me tilt out every time I forget to move the cursor a couple of times before I try again. What were the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →TLDR: This is a game I'd give a high numerical grade to, but wouldn't really recommend to most. Plaforming enthusiasts would appreciate the games high and occasionally unfair difficulty level while tolerating its faults. For everyone else, the difficulty is likely a turnoff past the Page level, and a lot of the games more frustrating design choices hamper the experience quite a bit. --- You already know the gist - Arthur moves and jumps with a 3 foot steel pole in his ass, throws random…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →30% Skill, 70% RNG. Playing on anything other than normal difficulty is an exercise in frustration and patience with getting a good RNG cycle. I love difficult games, but this is not how to do it. Games that are meant to be this hard really should have some set patterns, but this one will constantly have enemies spawn literally inside you on the harder difficulties. I got this for $3 bucks, and feel it was worth that, but I wouldn't spend any more than that unless you REALLY love RNG heavy…

Don't expect to go in here and put it on highest setting and get anywhere no matter how good you think you are at games because this game will show you that you suck over and over. It's…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have a bunch of hours of this game on my Switch so ignore my low hours here. Right off the bat you'll notice that your movement in this game is very commitment heavy. You are committed to your jumps and cant move mid air. There's no way to move while you attack and you cant cancel out of them. On top of that the game's levels and enemies make your already limited move set even worse by bombarding you with enemies and the levels terrain (mainly with slopes and how it changes you deal with…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very difficult, just like the old games. Brings back so many memories! Feels like a true updated version of the first and second games in the series with some stuff from the SNES version added. I like that you can use the magic specials even down in the boxer's appearance.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Most retro revival games do not fully understand their roots. Ghosts n' Goblins: Resurrection understands its roots almost to a fault. Is the RNG a little too barbaric at times? Without a doubt. But if you go in with the right mentality that's precisely what makes this game FUN. Some deaths will feel unfair. Some will be on you. But other times you'll survive by the skin of your teeth which creates for pulse-pounding gameplay like no other. Rather than just memorize simple patterns, the…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Giving a yes but that's because I'm nostalgic to Ghost n Goblins and I love the Arthur character. The game is just OK. They made it dumb hard on purpose but almost feels inorganically hard. Unless you totally master the levels you will get hit constantly and die making it frustrating. There's 2 branching paths at the start which I like... basically one path is paying homage to the NES-SNES GnG games and the bottom path is the Sega Genesis GnG game. I'm one of those gamer's that usually…

neutral · AI labelView post →This review is from someone who just beat the first level on Legend difficulty after 5 hours of playing it off and on for a week. I'd recommend this as long as you know what you're signing up for. I would not recommend this to anyone other than those looking for that "this game is bullcrap" feeling that doesn't really exist anymore. I was. If you play on the default (Legend) difficulty, expect it to be brutal and to not have enough checkpoints. It's unfair, bad (barely any) air control,…

With Sega...Virtua Fighter is the only one at the moment I trust.
positive · AI labelView post →One of my favorite arcade-style platformers. Full of dynamic and unpredictable challenges, with some genuine improvements over its arcade predecessors. I'm not used to modern games being this good.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I bought this game for 5 bucks in this summer sale and you should own it. This game is like 6gb and the original game is probably under 500mb. So that should tell you how much this game has been dressed up. I'm super impressed. Its running on RE-Engine too, which I like. Very optimised usually. or at least on paper. Its the old game better than the arcade and with absolute Quality, like Capcom really presented their old game with every added touch, the works. gg.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →TL;DR: this is a Ghosts 'n Goblins game and plays like a Ghosts 'n Goblins game, so if you like the series get this one because it's good. However, be prepared for a very hard game and lower the difficulty until you're comfortable. Now, for the full review. What I liked the most: - The art style. I'm used to the pixel graphics of the earlier games so I was unsure about what to expect here. The truth is that this one is very well done and the game looks really beautiful. - I liked that the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Reading other reviews I was under the impression that this was a simple graphical overhaul of the game I played when I was a kid so let me tell you that I was pleasently surprised when I found out that they added a lot of new game mechanics. You can unlock magical powers now and they made 5 difficulty levels. It feels the same but it's quite different.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is super fun! I do recommend this game. However it is really hard and will make you rage but still if you are looking for a platformer then give it a try! Also use avgn rules 1. get the knife 2. get the knife 3 get the knife!

If you're like me, you will instantly recognise this blast from the past, a massive arcade hit that was extremely hard, most people couldn't even pass the first or second stage alone. Then it got released on console, I played it on the Sega Megadrive over and over and over and it was still hard but eventually beat it, thanks to been able to save your games progression and just practising over…

This isn't just a remake; it’s a brilliant reimagining that honors the series' legendary difficulty while dragging it beautifully into the modern era. The Breakdown: The Difficulty: It is absolutely unrelenting. The game proudly retains its "quarter-killer" DNA. You will die. A lot. Enemies spawn dynamically,…

Yes, the game is challenging. Yes, you will die. A lot. That’s kind of the point. This is Ghosts ’n Goblins we’re talking about, the series that built its entire legacy on testing your patience, reflexes and sanity. If anything, I would suggest that anyone frustrated by Resurrection’s difficulty go…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Hard as balls just like the original Ghosts 'n Goblins but with a different artstyle and better animations, i can't even beat the first level on the legend difficult. if you enjoy hardcore/CBT games, this is perfect for you! :)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ghosts ‘n Goblins Resurrection is a tough but incredibly fun platformer. The challenging levels, creative enemy design, and classic arcade-style gameplay really capture the spirit of the series. Every victory feels earned, and the retro-inspired visuals and music are fantastic. If you enjoy hardcore platformers that test your skills, this game is definitely worth playing.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Played Legend (hardest difficulty) on my first playthrough. Equally frustrating and fun. Magic really changes the game but annoyingly trivializes bosses, although bosses are admittedly not as fun as their stages/levels.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I am a huge fan of the NES game and the SNES game, finishing both countless times. I was very excited to play this game. Unfortunately, this game is awful. First and foremost the controls are beyond terrible. The movement in the game is so stiff it is almost unplayable. The controls are even stiffer than the NES game which is almost 40 years old. Unless you are an absolute masochist skip this game and play one of the others in the franchise.
