All players have the same amount of stats, what matters is how you allocate them to suit your playstyle.
Depending on your allocation of stats your character gets adjusted traits such as movement speed, jump height, cooldown time, status effect duration, etc.
This together with choosing your spell-elements wisely during gameplay to accommodate your own personal playstyle is what gives you the edge in battle.

There are many types of spells: Projectile, Bolt, Spray, Slash, Ray, Instant, Self-targeted. All of these types have a number of spells in them and each one is unique. There are 7 different elements with 4 spells each. A player can have 2 elements active at one time, each element has its own style and which ones the player chooses will alter the playstyle of the player.
There are plans on synergy-spells that will arrive in an expansion after release. The player then gets a unique spell that is a merge between the two elements chosen.
A large part of Ghostly Horizon is cooperation, some game-modes require cooperation to be able to take objectives, others don't enforce it. But nonetheless working together will give your team the upper-hand.
Healing-spells are designed mainly to be used on your friends, your survivability will most likely raise if you work together and heal each other, before it is too late. You can also work together by casting a boost-ray on your friend to make his spells do more damage, or cast a boost-AoE to make all your allies damage more while inside the area of effect.
Fast travel with teleports that are created by 3 or more players casting boost-rays on each other in a circle to conjure up a teleport. It might be risky though, there is a hidden science behind teleports and you might end up popping out of the enemies teleport if you don't know what you are doing.
Ghostly Horizon is presented in a low-poly style with a mix of hard and soft gradients in textures. The aim is a stylized, beautiful and cute looking game that makes the intense gameplay and cut-throat battles come as a surprise.
We aim at an effortless feeling with a flow in both world-design and graphics-design.

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Bugs or Proglems? Please contact me at [email protected] I'm the developer of Ghostly Horizon, I notice that some reviews are just bugs for individual people. The problem is that I cannot get in contact with the reviewers to get a bug-report or to solve the bug.. Steam leaves no way to contact a reviewer unfortunately other than sending a friends request! EctoMeow: The malware detection is most likely because the game starts another executable, both when you play the game and when you want to start Matchmaking, and the matchmaker will also create a new file on the computer that includes the matched servers IP so that the game can read that file and connect to the IP. This is not a bug or a malware it is just your malware program being very strict. Nanawo99: This is due to de-sync between the Client and the Server. When playing Solo a Server is launched on your computer that the Client connects to, this is because the game is designed as a multiplayer game that allows singleplayer. I would love to know if this still happends when you try again since you only have 0.1h as playtime.. And what happends when you play on official online servers. As said, please don't put b…8 found this helpful
[quote][b]Note: Dead PvP game[/b] This game contains no meaningful single player content. There are no available servers and no player population. This game cannot be played as intended.[/quote] Ghostly Horizon was a third-person spell-casting action game played on small, round planets. There isn't a narrative; the game is centered on match-based combat. Players battle using a selection of spells in modes like survival or player-versus-player, requiring some skill and teamwork. The quality is garbage tier. So, Ghostly Horizon is a dead PvP game. Why did it fail? It's video game autopsy time! [i]Almost every PvP exclusive game on Steam fails.[/i] Only a tiny proportion of them "go viral". This game failed for many of the same reasons those others fail. The chief of which is the developer thinking that their game will "go viral" without actually creating any reason for it do so. Competition amongst PvP centric games is extreme, and there's only a finite player base to appeal to. This game failed to reach any kind of critical mass and died as a result. Let's go into some of the reasons this particular game failed to appeal to gamers, despite the zero up front cost. Fir…2 found this helpful

Игра Ghostly Horizon — это уникальный визуальный стиль, объединяющий призрачный готический мир и яркое неоновое сияние. Геймплей предлагает идеальный баланс между скоростным паркуром и напряженными боями с таинственными существами. Захватывающий сюжет о поиске утраченных воспоминаний держит в напряжении до самой развязки. Незабываемое атмосферное приключение!
