“Ghost 1.0” is a Metroidvania video game developed and published by Francisco Téllez de Meneses, known for his previous work on “Unepic.” Released on Steam on June 7, 2016, “Ghost 1.0” immerses players in a high-tech future where they control Ghost, an artificial intelligence tasked with infiltrating the Nakamura Space Station alongside two hackers, Boogan and Jacker, to steal a significant electronic secret.
Gameplay and Features:
Control and Mechanics: Players guide Ghost, who isn’t just a physical entity but an AI that can remotely control a robot chassis, dubbed the Chassis. Ghost can leave this body to become a digital ghost, capable of passing through walls, possessing enemy robots, and using their tools against them. This unique ability adds layers to puzzle-solving and combat, allowing for a blend of stealth and direct confrontation.
Weapons and Upgrades: The game features an array of weapons that automatically reload and never run out of ammo, eliminating the need to conserve for boss fights. Weapons vary in strengths and weaknesses, and can be acquired through exploration or purchase depending on the game mode. Upgrades are passive, enhancing abilities without the need for activation, ranging from improved bullets to aggressive drones.
Game Modes: “Ghost 1.0” offers two distinct modes:
Classic Mode: A traditional Metroidvania experience where progression leads to more items, tougher enemies, and complex challenges.
Survival Mode: A rogue-like experience where players gain items and power-ups quickly but lose everything upon death, promoting a high-risk, high-reward gameplay style.
Exploration and Secrets: The game boasts a map of around 300 rooms, divided into zones, each with unique enemies, ambiance, music, and bosses. Hidden throughout are “geekies,” which, when activated, subtly change aspects of the game for players to discover. Additionally, 200 rooms contain secrets that, once revealed, provide permanent power-ups, with a special reward for uncovering all secrets in each level.
Storyline: The narrative isn’t about saving the world but embarking on an adventure filled with humor and intrigue. Dialogue and cinematics are fully voiced in English, providing depth to characters like Boogan, Jacker, and Ghost, whose interactions drive the plot forward.
Skill Tree: An RPG element allows players to spend skill points on a tree, customizing gameplay by choosing skills that affect combat, movement, or survival strategies, altering how one navigates through the game’s challenges.
Reception:
The game has garnered generally positive reviews, praised for its visual style, engaging story, and action-packed gameplay. However, its humor has been a point of criticism for being somewhat stilted or juvenile. It holds an aggregate score of 80/100 on Metacritic for the PC version, with reviewers like Vandal Online giving it a 9/10, highlighting it as one of the best Metroidvanias in recent years, while Nintendo Life rated it 7/10, appreciating mechanics and world design but critiquing the humor.
Additional Notes:
The game includes a prequel, “Mini Ghost,” offering a retro-styled taste of the universe.
“Ghost 1.0” combines the thrill of exploration with strategic combat, wrapped in a cyberpunk narrative, making it a compelling choice for fans of the Metroidvania genre looking for something with a unique twist on AI and robotics.
