About Ghostlords
Ghostlords is a strategic turn-based RPG that tells the story of a post-apocalyptic haunted Great Britain. Experience the new world, capture wild spirits, and put together a team of ghosts to help you battle the forces of evil.
The year is 2038. It has been twenty years since the Rending - an event that left most of the world's population dead, their souls severed from their bodies. These souls linger, and survive as ghosts.
The surviving humans have done their best to rebuild society, but the world is a very different place. Ghosts roam the land, wild and unpredictable. Their magical abilities make them extremely dangerous to anyone who gets on their bad side.
There are rumours, however, of humans developing supernatural abilities. Apparently there are people possessing the same magical abilities as the ghosts, and even people able to control the ghosts themselves. Ghostlords tells the stories of these individuals and the world they live in.
Features
- Build Your Team - As a Ghostlord, you can capture ghosts to help you fight. Each type of ghost has different strengths and weaknesses - you'll have to think carefully to build a well balanced team.
- Turn-based Combat - Ghosts have four abilities, with a variety of different effects. Will you go all in with powerful attacks that will leave your ghost drained of energy? Or will you play the long game, taking advantage of status effects and stat boosts?
- Multiple Campaigns - There are many heroes in Ghostlords, with their own quests to complete and challenges to overcome. Can you help all of them?
- Mod Support - All the content in Ghostlords is accessible to modders, making it easy to tweak things or even to add new content. You can create new ghosts, characters, quests, encounters, environments, and even brand new campaigns.
- Catch Them All - There are more than fifty different kinds of ghost for you to find in the world. Catching a ghost permanently unlocks it for subsequent playthroughs. Can you catch them all?

I am 32 years old. My ex-wife and I have a daughter together, and we adopted our son together. Both are now 4 years old. When we were going through our separation, I felt lost and unhappy. I was self-destructive. One day, I was so angry with everything spiraling out of control that I punched a concrete wall in a moment of overwhelming emotion. This resulted in breaking my fifth metacarpal in my right hand—the hand I worked with, played games with, and used to carry my children to bed—the hand I desperately needed to ensure I could continue providing. Upon learning the severity of the self-inflicted damage, I became almost suicidal. Keep in mind that just a few months before this, I was the happiest man, with no history of depression or anxiety. I had never experienced anger outbursts, nor was I the type to break down and cry, but I was in a tough situation that truly prevented me from seeing the light on the other side. With nothing better to do, I looked for a game I could play WITH ONE HAND while recovering. Somehow, I stumbled upon this game and read some of the comments. I decided it was worth a try... I must admit I didn't beat the game, nor did I play as much as some of y…1 found this helpful
Ghostlords es una pasada, colega. Me lo pasé genial, la mezcla de estrategia y fantasmas tiene su gracia, y cada partida es un caos bien divertido. Te mantiene enganchado con su estilo único y acción rápida. Si te va lo estratégico con un toque sobrenatural, te vas a divertir tanto como yo.
Very cool.
[h1]Ghostlords: An Eerie Journey Through a Haunted Britain[/h1] In the frigid lands of HowlStrom, where the Alpha Ice Wolf, Kiba Snowpaw, reigns supreme, and I, Scootaloo, a 19-year-old Pegasus pony, have sharpened my gaming skills amidst the ice and snow. Today, I bring to you a review from another world, a world ravaged by a post-apocalyptic calamity, a world where spirits roam and humanity clings to survival – this is the world of "Ghostlords." [h2][b]The Essence of Ghostlords[/b][/h2] Developed by the visionary Kyle Rodgers, "Ghostlords" is a strategic turn-based RPG set in a post-apocalyptic Great Britain. Here, you are not just a survivor; you are a Ghostlord, endowed with the power to capture and control the wandering spirits. This game is a fusion of tactical battles, role-playing elements, and a narrative that intertwines the supernatural with human resilience. [u]A Story of Survival and Power[/u] As a denizen of HowlStrom, I've always been drawn to tales of survival against all odds. "Ghostlords" paints a vivid picture of a world where humanity has been pushed to the brink. The year is 2038, two decades after 'The Rending' – an event that decimated the population, leav…
Like a bitesized node-based roguelite take on [i]Shin Megami Tensei[/i]. Perfect for short bursts of creature-collecting RPG shenannigans.
