Home : Games : Previews : Ghost Master

Scare the living daylights out of mortals using a motley assortment of the undead.

What's so special? While Ghost Master probably won’t go down in the annals of computer gaming as the greatest game ever, it does seem like it will be a lot of fun. The graphics are quite good, with a pleasing comical style to them. The idea of scaring people is different to say the least, and originality always scores big in our books.

Developer track record: The game is being developed by a company called Sick Puppies. They’re brand new so it’s impossible to truly comment on them. Ghost Master’s concept is strong, so we’ll see if they can deliver the goods when it ships in October.

Computer games often tend to stick to tried and true subjects, which often leads to a lot of similar games that may not be bad per se, but because it’s nothing new the level of excitement to most gamers may be quite low.

With this in mind it’s pleasant to see that there are some games coming down the pike that are rather unique, like Ghost Master. Cross a dash of The Sims with a little bit of Dungeon Keeper and you have the beginnings of Ghost Master.

The player’s task is to scare the living daylights out of mortals using a motley assortment of the undead. Each level takes place in a specific locale, with specific objectives.

Plasma is the lifeblood of your spectral army, which is earned by succeeding in the missions. Complicating your (un)life will be a variety of foes, including the dreaded paranormal investigators.
