About Ghosts 'n Goblins Resurrection
Watch as this nostalgic yet completely reimagined storybook world unravels before your very eyes.
Taking cues from both Ghosts 'n Goblins and Ghouls 'n Ghosts and giving birth to something entirely new, Resurrection is a title worthy of its name.
Don't be fooled—this picturesque storybook world, while gorgeous, is a love-letter to the original titles and maintains the same punishing gameplay that fans have come to expect. So go on and test your mettle, for the gauntlet has been thrown!
Story
A long time ago...
In a far off land our tale begins, its beauty matched by none.
The knight, Arthur, and the princess there, bathed in midday sun.
...but suddenly something's amiss, the town is up in flames,
a cloud of darkness does emerge, the palace it does claim.
The shadow then extends its reach, to the Umbral Tree divine.
Its color fades, its vigor drained by powers most malign.
And with this chaos wrought, the Demon Lord plays his vile hand.
While Arthur's back is turned, the princess he kidnaps as planned.
In haste does Arthur don his armor, to save his maiden fair.
To the Demon Realm he does depart, so demons best beware.
Gameplay
Just like its predecessors, Ghosts 'n Goblins Resurrection makes use of simple controls that anyone can enjoy. Use them to your advantage as you fight your way through weird and spooky stages filled with unique enemies in this enchanting world brought to life with modern technology and game design philosophy!
Ghosts 'n Goblins is, well, hard. Its unyielding difficulty has been a defining characteristic of the series, and Resurrection pays respect to that legacy. You'll die, and you'll die again, but you'll dust yourself off and get better with every attempt as you learn more about your foes and further craft your strategy. You'll struggle, but you'll also bask in glory once you do eventually emerge victorious. That is Ghosts 'n Goblins.
In Resurrection, Arthur can obtain 8 types of weapons, each with its own unique characteristics. Fell your foes with old favorites such as the Lance and the Dagger, shoot shockwaves with the Hammer to launch enemies, or send a Spiked Ball crashing along the ground to bowl them over instead! Use these—and more—to your advantage as you form your plan to progress through the Demon Realm!
In addition to his large arsenal of weapons, Arthur can also learn a magnitude of magic and skills. Use Thunderstorm to unleash a hailstorm of bolts in four directions, or learn Kitted Out to increase Arthur's inventory space and carry more weapons. With tons more available, be sure to make room for magic and skills in your strategy!
Make full use of Arthur's weapons, magic, and skills as you brave the ordeals of the Demon Realm to bring the princess home safely. Muster every ounce of grit you possess; you're going to need it!
On top of single player mode, which focuses on the fun of hunkering down and overcoming challenges alone, Arthur can be aided in his quest by support characters, the Three Wise Guys. This gameplay style makes for an intense two player co-op experience—a first for the series.
Connect two controllers to play with a friend, side by side.
Note: Local co-op only. Online play is not supported.
Experience the sweaty palms and white-knuckles that come with single player mode, or share the fun with your friends in a party game-like co-op experience!

Are You Strongth Enough For Ghosts N Goblins? Back in the 1980s, arcade machines then were wonderous things, far far beyond the capabilities of our feeble home computers, if you even were lucky enough to have one... I was a nipper then, living in a tiny village in Sherwood Forest, and I remember I used to walk for miles, through muddy paths with what pocket money I could scrounge up just to get to the nearest place that had such incredible, but brief glimpses into miraculous technology. Two machines in particular captivated me. One was Choplifter, but the other was Ghosts N Goblins... It was dark, atmospheric, challenging and addictive, and I'd walk home after maybe 20 minutes total play time, humming the music and thinking to myself "One day, one day I'll have these at home. And I'll beat them... oh yes I will". So keep that in mind for this and other positive reviews; GnG meant a huge amount to many of us during our formative years... ... but do you know what else arcade machines were often, back then? Brutally, viciously unfair. Designed to kill you as fast as possible to get you pumping more coins in. And GnG was one of the most merciless of all; the first demon boss, Red …4 found this helpful
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, enemies spawn underneath you and are faster than you. Some angles of attack are basically guaranteed loss. Early spells are crappy and take too long to cast. I'm having a good time, but not everyone would.1 found this helpful
Knight braves cursed lands Hope outlives relentless doom Dawn rewards the bold
its awesome and what u expect from this series and more
Amazing game... my fingers just couldn't keep up 😂💀 The classic Ghosts 'n Goblins challenge is back, and it's as brutal as ever. The controls take some getting used to, but once they click, it's incredibly rewarding. 10/10 would suffer again 👻
