Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed Ecto Edition

A great game, and a fantastic Ghostbusters game. Incredible customisation, awesome artstyle, thoroughly entertaining gameplay from both available perspectives, and a banging soundtrack. This is one of those games where you can tell the devs had a great deal of love for the source material, and made this game with a ton of detail. Very fun multiplayer, but also exceptional singleplayer, with surprisingly competent AI for both the ghost and the busters alike. Definitely something I strongly recommend and a game I absolutely adore.

I got this game from my boyfriend, who had wanted to play it with me for a while. So far, I really like it, and after playing, we also watched the first two Ghostbusters movies. I was never really a fan of the franchise, but I have to say that this game has made me love it more, just like the movies themselves, because I couldn't remember the plot very well anymore. It's a shame that this game isn't played much I definitely think more people would enjoy it :)

RUS Ассиметричная мультиплеерная игра с элементами жанра prophunt про знаменитых Охотников за Привидениями, в которой 4 Охотника пытаются поймать 1 Призрака, пока тот вовсю пытается захватить помещения и выгнать из них людей. При сильно удачных действиях привидения зоны визуально меняются, становясь более мрачными и залитыми эктоплазмой. По прошествии нескольких лет в игре стало 10 зон и 9 типов призраков. У последних также имеются подклассы со своими уникальными способностями. Сразу можно отметить, что игра создавалась явными знатоками темы, поэтому проект насыщен фансервисом. Визуальное оформление многочисленной аппаратуры Охотников, внешний вид привидений, помещений, звуков и музыки - всё это либо очень бережно перенесено в игровую форму, либо выполнено под таким сильным вдохновением от франшизы, что порой неотличимо от оригинала. Все многочисленные аспекты охоты на привидений учтены. Стрельба фирменными лучами из протонных ускорителей, поиск духов измерителем ПКЕ-энергии, захват в ловушки, успокоение людей и очистка от слизи. Возможность скатиться на фирменном шесте и самостоятельно выгрузить ловушку в хранилище также присутствуют. Многочисленные отсылки в дизайне на фильмы и мультсериалы позволяют как воссоздать любимых персонажей, так и сделать Охотника за привидениями своей мечты - в игре весьма вариативная кастомизация персонажей. Примечательно, что вы можете настроить сразу 4 вариации и переключаться между ними. Между заданиями кастомизированные вами Охотники появляются на базе, занимающиеся разными делами, а на миссиях за них могут играть боты. Выполняя задания и повышая уровень вы получаете доступ к более разнообразному оборудованию и вариациям кастомизации, а также сюжетные ролики. Да, здесь есть общий сюжет, который в целом сносный и разворачивается после событий фильма «Охотники за привидениями: Наследники». Примечательно, что актёры Дэн Энкройд и Эрни Хадсон вернулись к образам Рея Стэнца и Уинстона Зеддемора озвучив персонажей и подарив им свою внешность. Подытожив, Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed Ecto Edition это отличный пример, как можно сделать игру по лицензии, переложив её на рельсы мультиплеера. Рекомендуется как фанатам Охотников за привидениями, так и любителям мультиплеерных игр с необычным сеттингом. ENG An asymmetrical multiplayer game with elements of the prophunt genre about famous Ghostbusters, in which 4 Hunters try to catch 1 Ghost while he is trying to take over the premises and expel people from them. With highly successful ghost actions, the zones visually change, becoming more gloomy and flooded with ectoplasm. After a few years, the game has 10 zones and 9 types of ghosts. The latter also have subclasses with their own unique abilities. It can be noted right away that the game was created by obvious experts on the topic, so the project is full of fan service. The visual design of the ghostbusters' numerous equipment, the appearance of ghosts, rooms, sounds and music - all this is either very carefully transferred to the game form, or executed under such strong inspiration from the franchise that it is sometimes indistinguishable from the original. All the many aspects of ghost hunting are taken into account. Shooting branded beams from proton accelerators, searching for spirits with a PKE energy meter, trapping, calming people and clearing slime. The opportunity to roll down on a branded pole and unload the trap into the vault on your own is also present. Numerous design references to movies and animated series allow you to recreate your favorite characters, as well as make the Ghostbusters of your dreams - the game has a very variable character customization. It is noteworthy that you can set up 4 variations at once and switch between them. Between tasks, your customized Ghostbusters appear at the base, doing various things, and bots can play for them on missions. By completing tasks and leveling up, you get access to more diverse equipment and customization options, as well as story clips. Yes, there is a general plot here, which is generally tolerable and unfolds after the events of the movie "Ghostbusters: Afterlife". It is noteworthy that actors Dan Ankroyd and Ernie Hudson returned to the images of Ray Stanz and Winston Zeddemore, voicing the characters and giving them their appearance. To sum up, Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed Ecto Edition is a great example of how you can make a licensed game by shifting it to multiplayer. It is recommended for both Ghostbusters fans and fans of multiplayer games with an unusual setting.

Fun game, with a lot to offer. Better as multiplayer with a friend to bust ghosts.

too good

bustin feels good 🤤🤤🤤🤤

hehehe nut busters heheh

Never played a ghostbuster game but always wanted to when it originally came out. I still have never played it, BUT my cousin bought me this out of the blue, haven't even heard of it, and it's everything I imagine the OG game was and more. Character creator is dope, playing as a ghost and messing with the other players is fun, unlocking new tech/abilities. There is also a story between leveling up in the hub area that's pretty fun. If you can convince a couple of friends to bust ghosts with on a weekend afternoon I highly recommend picking this game up. And if you can't, you should still pick this game up because you can always play solo as a ghost or bust ghost with the fun community still playing.

going into this, alone as i'm a huge ghostbusters fan i didn't expect to play this for about 3 days straight The online matchmaking takes a little bit and there's hackers playing ghosts pretty often, but if you get friends or play offline it's very very enjoyable

I've never played a Ghostbuster's game before, but this game was surprising and pleasantly good, It has a bit of a gameplay loop where you kind of just grind to get better equipment and play harder missions but the core gameplay is overall very fun. You chase the ghost around the map with up to 1-4 friends or bots busting a big bad ghost with smaller spirits on the side while also having to manage the civilians panic level, your friends can also play the ghost which is fun, I wish the movement tech was a little bit faster along with the activation of your abilities and gadgets, but I would recommend this game to people who like the core hunt and destroy gameplay of Left 4 Dead 2's Special Infected mode or Evolve, as the concept of the game is largely the same.
