Release Date: February 25, 2021
The third instalment of the classic and extremely demanding series of platformers. In Ghosts 'n Goblins Resurrection, the players take on the role of the valiant Arthur, a lonely knight wandering through a dangerous fantasy world inhabited by countless demonic and magical creatures.
Ghosts 'n Goblins Resurrection is a classic 2D fantasy platformer focused on fighting with enemies. The game was developed by the Japanese company Capcom. The game was developed to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the release of Ghosts 'n Goblins, the first instalment of the series, which came to the arcade in 1985. The game is also inspired by its sequel Ghouls 'n Ghosts, which was published three years later. Both games have been relaunched many times on different hardware platforms.
In Ghosts 'n Goblins Resurrection we take on the role of a brave knight named Arthur. His mission is to save a princess who has been kidnapped and imprisoned by a demon lord. However, before the hero reaches the place, he will have to travel a long way and destroy countless evil minions, including all kinds of undead and other fantastic creatures.
The gameplay model of Ghosts 'n Goblins Resurrection is very similar to the first two games in the series. So we are dealing here with a classic 2D platformer, in which we are going through a series of linear levels ended with boss fights. The maps are filled with enemies, with whom we fight with the lance thrown by the hero. When we are surrounded, we can also avoid them by jumping sideways.
Arthur's life bar is his armour, which he loses completely after one or more enemy attacks. At the very end, the hero stays in the boxers, so after another with the enemy we end the game and have to start again.
The series is known to challenge even the most ardent fans of platformers. In its new version, the developers did not want to abandon this tradition. However, due to the less experienced players, they have implemented three difficulty levels, which determine the maximum number of attacks that a hero can receive before he dies.
Ghosts'n Goblins Resurrection has a colourful 2D graphic design made in a comic book style, recalling the graphic style of the originals. There is also an intensive soundtrack.

Game Ratings for Ghosts 'n Goblins Resurrection Video Game.
IGN: 8 / 10 by Tristan Ogilvie
Ghosts 'n Goblins Resurrection is a supremely spirited comeback for the old-school action platformer series.
Nintendo Life: 8 / 10 by Tom Massey
If you can't stand the thought of tackling a game through an arduous process of restarts, walk away now. There are points in the campaign where Fujiwara comes close to overstepping the mark, and you do wonder why sections like the disappearing platforms of Zone Five need to be quite so drawn out, or why the hell he threw a Red Arremer into the mix at the start of Zone Four when you're already being assaulted from every direction. But we're here to criticise the game's architectural makeup and not necessarily its palatability to a broader audience. Although its difficulty isn't going to be for everyone, it remains solidly coordinated, upholding the series ethos of practice-based progression via old disciplines and new processes.Ghosts 'n Goblins Resurrection is Tokuro Fujiwara's love letter to a thirty-five-year-old series that's famous for burying mortal men, and it's a job done exceptionally well. By ignoring it, we risk having to wait another thirty-five years for a new entry, and, in a world where so many games have become cinematic, one-button-does-all 3D picture books, that's an unacceptable prospect. If challenge is what you live for, toughen up, don that mental armour, and take up the mantle like a lance. If you put in the time and effort, Ghosts 'n Goblins Resurrection will see you reap the most valuable of gaming accomplishments: the prestige of victory.
TheGamer: 3 / 5 by Jamie Latour
Had the gameplay been tuned up a bit more I could see myself recommending this, but unfortunately, Ghosts 'n Goblins Resurrection is one game that feels like it came back from the dead a little too soon.
