Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed – Ecto Edition brings the iconic ghost-hunting franchise to life in a fun, accessible asymmetrical multiplayer experience that strikes a solid balance between nostalgia and fresh gameplay. Whether you're strapping on a proton pack or sliming your way through haunted museums, the Ecto Edition captures the essence of Ghostbusters in a playful, approachable package. This 4v1 multiplayer setup pits a team of four Ghostbusters against a single mischievous ghost. The Ghostbusters work together using classic gear—proton packs, P.K.E. meters, ghost traps—to find and capture the ghost before it can fully haunt a location. Meanwhile, the ghost uses stealth, possession, and spectral abilities to scare civilians, create chaos, and ultimately win the match. The gameplay loop is fast, fun, and chaotic in all the right ways. The Ghostbusters must communicate and coordinate, while the ghost player gets to creatively outwit and troll the team. It’s asymmetrical multiplayer that doesn’t take itself too seriously—perfect for casual play but with enough layers to keep things interesting. The Ecto Edition trades a bit of graphical fidelity for portability, but the core experience remains solid and smooth, especially for handheld ghostbusting on the go. While the visuals in the Ecto Edition are scaled back compared to the PC/console versions, the game still retains a strong aesthetic. Ghosts are vibrant and silly, environments are varied and filled with easter eggs for fans, and the animations do a great job of selling the slapstick chaos of the Ghostbusters world. Voice acting, sound effects, and the unmistakable Ghostbusters theme round out the experience, nailing the vibe fans expect from the franchise. Pros: -Faithful to the Ghostbusters universe, with a great mix of fan service and new ideas -Fun, fast-paced asymmetrical multiplayer -Smooth and accessible gameplay loop -Portable-friendly performance in Ecto Edition -Customization options for characters and ghosts Cons: -Reduced graphical quality in the Ecto Edition -Limited single-player appeal; AI teammates and ghosts can feel stiff -Repetitive gameplay loop over long sessions -Needs more maps and ghost variety to maintain longevity Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed – Ecto Edition is a fun and faithful adaptation that makes bustin’ feel good—especially with friends. It’s not perfect, but its charm, humor, and solid multiplayer gameplay make it a great pick for both Ghostbusters fans and casual co-op lovers. If you’re looking for a lighthearted multiplayer experience with a supernatural twist, this one’s worth calling. Rating: 8/10

game is a fun hide and seek like game with the ghostbusters hunting the ghost i love all the ghost and the different custom ghost each class has and love how the challenges rewards you with cosmetics that are optional to get the only con is the story is not that hard or long but still cool to go threw since youll be dealing with the halloween ghost guy from the real ghostbusters show

How much slime? Yes! Key features [*]short game and matches, [*]very well structured and easy to navigate, [*]can play as a ghost. It's casual Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed Ecto Edition (or GSUEE) is a very relaxed first person ghost hunting adventure. Extremely forgiving one too. Your character doesn't have health, can jump off heights and only occasionally gets slightly slowed down. If you lose, so what? An average match lasts from 5 to 10mins, just start another. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3345190540 Extra points for not having to wait for any ridiculous online queues - pick a mission and you're already loading in \m/ There are ten different locations with a bunch of ghosts to hunt down. The story is almost non existent and it's literally the same set of maps replayed over and over. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3344866172 Ghosts are cool GSUEE focuses more on a ghostbuster play, with its gear and cosmetics, unlocked further as you level up. But there's also a ghost side, which I find more appealing. Ghosts can possess items and then move around, so the game becomes a Prop and Seek. They can scare NPCs with various abilities e.g. summoning minions, infernal hands, or simply hanging people in the air. It's just fun to jump into a plushy and then boo everyone in your way. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3346216125 Nice game overall. It's simple, doesn't artificially extend its value, has multiple gear skins which you kinda have to grind, but don't have to. One of a few games where experience is showered on you. Well done!
