About The Golden Eyed Ghosts



The Golden Eyed Ghosts is a dark fantasy soulslike heavily influenced by the legacy of Zelda adventures, set in the crumbling kingdom of Andromeda. Ancient, macabre secrets lurk beneath the kingdom's surface threatening its very existence. Take up Orion’s exiled mantle to brave the kingdom’s dangers, recover the four legendary stolen swords, and save it all from certain doom.

Things aren't always what they seem in Andromeda. Countless secrets and things best left forgotten are buried beneath the earth. If not too careful... Orion might find himself struggling inside a web of secrets, lies, and mysteries. Because...

Decisions dictate the way forward. Do you hack and slash your way through? Or look for a way to avoid needless slaughter? Do you heal yourself with the life energy of those you run through with your sword? Or retreat and find a moment of peace among strangely familiar grindstones? Perhaps the choice is to mix and match, adapting Orion’s kit to face down any form of foe. But try as you might, no matter if traveling sinister forests, glittering icefields, murky bogs, or decaying cities...

The choices made in combat pale in comparison when it comes to the real gut-wrenching, world-changing decisions. Track down a dastardly thief, befriend a suffering maiden, or aid a desperate father. Will they trust you? Can you trust them? Maybe a favor will be returned, or maybe betrayal is afoot.

Perhaps it's better to just leave this crumbling kingdom to its own devices and let the madness and eldritch energies consume the realm. After all...

Orion is a man on a quest, but he's no hero. He's just one of the many derelict denizens of the fallen Andromeda empire, struggling to survive in a moribund world. Join him on the journey to find a way forward in classic Metroidvania fashion. Face seemingly insurmountable odds and struggle to survive festering beasts, hideous machinations, and abyssal horrors of an ancient world...

The dev loves Zelda and Darksouls, but doesn't seem to know what made either of those fun to play. The hit detection is questionable, and every enemy can be flinched to death. The price tag is bananas dude. Band-aid huffers might enjoy it.

Got this game lumped in a bundle, would not have gotten for it's price, especially with the reviews. That said, let's say this stuff again. The game is okay, but severely unpolished, like a gem under a mountain unpolished. The game starts out fine, can't even tell anything is wrong really, up until the forest. There the enemies seem less polished, because the first enemy to throw stones reveal that despite being lobbed into the air, you still get hit by their shadow. oh, and the rock drawn "up high"? that hits you too on contact if you're above them. That's the same with most enemy attacks, that despite being way below you, if they're big, their entire hitbox hits you, regardless of the distance backwards. Next up, the stun locking, which another review aptly dubbed "flinching". Imagine using a lvl 1 Rattata with a bite that had 100% chance to flinch taking down a lvl 100 legendary. That's what the combat can boil down to once you get the knife. I stood behind a tree when facing the gorilla boss, and it constantly rolled into it trying to hit me, while I repeatedly threw the dagger at it; About a hundred stabs later, boss dead, that's it. If you think that's bad, let's ice this …

[h2]The Golden Eyed Ghosts – A Game with Potential, But Little Execution[/h2] If you’ve found this review, it’s either because you’ve looked through my other reviews (thank you if that’s the case) or you’ve really lost yourself in Steam’s forgotten games. Either way, I hope I can help guide you. The Golden Eyed Ghosts has a strong aesthetic, with well-crafted visuals and music that set a distinct mood. The animated cutscenes feel inspired, though unfortunately, they cannot be skipped—a feature I always appreciate in games. The biggest issue with the game is how repetitive it becomes due to its combat design. Every encounter plays out in a near-identical fashion: any weapon strike knocks enemies backward, meaning the optimal strategy is always to push them into a wall and unload on them. If no walls are nearby, combat devolves into a cycle of striking, moving forward, striking again, and repeating. While new weapons are obtained throughout the game, they are either purely utility-based or just variations on dealing damage in slightly different ways. Enemy variety exists in terms of attack patterns and ranged capabilities, but the solution to every fight remains the same—rush in,…
