Relentless Challenge and Nostalgic Appeal - Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts Review

Rating: ★★★☆☆ (3/5)

"Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts," a classic action-platformer released for the Super Nintendo in 1991, is a game that both captivates and frustrates in equal measure. Developed by Capcom, this installment in the renowned series retains the series' signature difficulty while introducing some technical enhancements that make for a visually and audibly appealing experience.

Graphics and Sound:
One of the game's standout features is its upgraded graphics compared to its predecessors. The Super Nintendo's capabilities allow for more detailed sprites and backgrounds, resulting in a visually pleasing game world. The levels are rich with variety, ranging from haunted forests to treacherous caverns, each with its own unique aesthetic. While the graphics have aged gracefully, they still exude a certain charm that fans of retro gaming will undoubtedly appreciate.

The audio design complements the game's dark and eerie atmosphere. The haunting melodies and sound effects contribute to the sense of foreboding and urgency as players navigate through challenging stages. Though the music may not be as memorable as some of Capcom's other iconic compositions, it effectively adds to the overall ambiance of the game.

Gameplay and Challenge:
Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts is infamous for its unforgiving difficulty. The game offers a stiff challenge right from the start, demanding precise platforming skills and quick reflexes. Players will find themselves facing a constant barrage of enemies, environmental hazards, and challenging boss encounters. The protagonist's armor mechanic, which forces players to be hit twice before truly dying, adds an extra layer of strategy to the gameplay.

However, this high difficulty can also be a double-edged sword. While it provides a sense of accomplishment for those who conquer its trials, it may also lead to frustration and discouragement for players seeking a more approachable experience. The control mechanics, though generally responsive, can occasionally feel a bit slippery, which can lead to unintended deaths.

I remember playing this game with my dad. Every weekend, at the evening, my dad and i tried to beat the game. It was so fun, and hard. Many fails and retries too. We shared the controller everytime someone dies in the game. We had a lot of fun together, haha. We didn't beat the game back then. I stopped playing this game and I moved to Far Cry games. 4 years later, I decided to beat the game myself. I did. It was hard, but I did it. I told my dad: "Dad ! Do you remember Super Ghouls N Ghosts ? That game we played a lot ?" He said "Yes ! I remember. Are you still playing it after all these years ?" And I said "Well, yes. And guess what ? I beat it !" He said he was proud of me.

I have a lot of games like this one. But I will never sell them to keep memories... Jesus Christ I can't hold my tear...

Nice video by the way :)

[AgdaFingers]

I guess this video is how a lot of people got to see further levels in this game...

[alejandrososa]

Finally, after 20 years i can see how this game ends

[VanceVelez]

Any channel that can beat Super Ghouls n Ghosts clean gets my immediate respect. Cheers!

[slavvingsquats]

This makes Dark Souls look like a walk in the park

[riblit]

The soundtrack to this game is just simply incredible. For me top 3 videogame soundtracks of all time.

[Chopper]

the NOSTALGIA!!! OMG I swear I remember I used to play this game as a kid, I'm glad I grew up in these ages as a kid. Good ass times

[ericandre]

I love how he put secret ending because no one has ever made it that far

[JanavarKan]

Well it took me 34 years but I finally beat this sadistic game, this dude did it without getting hit? He must be in the matrix

[DaggerZ]

Am I the only one who finds the atmosphere in that first level where the sky is pitch black and trees look gloomy absolutely magical and captivating ? Gives me a certain feeling can't tell what..

[stanknight]

Kids now never knew the meaning of true fear.
This was it.
I haven't played this in like 20 years and it still gives me anxiety watching it :).
Well done.

[poketz]

I FINALLY FOUND IT!!!! Aww man I still remember every detail of this game after all these years!! I’ve been searching for the name of this game since the last time I played it as a kid. This game stands out for its badassery! The detailed spooky atmosphere even down to the music! I remember the little diddy of the first level in my head all these years. So happy I found this. All these years I would try to look up this game and I would always click on castlevania videos thinking it was this. I saw the cover of this game online and instantly remembered it like it all came back too me! Its been 23 years since I heard this music and watched this gameplay. Aww man the memories. I remember u could lose your armor and be chased by zombies in your underwear lol. Man im very happy right now. Thank you for loading this up. Subscribed!

[druim-nan-deur]

This game is nothing short of an absolute masterpiece. I remember playing this for hours when I was 10 years old in 1993. The nostalgia is significant. Thank you sir

[inferiordelirium]

Princess: "Arthur get the bracelet and come back here."
Arthur: "Are you fucking kidding me?!"

[mrzazzaable]

This game is nightmare fuel. Pitch black with high contrast highlights of tree leaves and skulls under a cold wet grass. That sea level still gives me chills. The music is something else.

[moswarthy]

The nightmare continued when you had to start ALL OVER for that stupid goddess bracelet!

[krystellinecatacutan]

I watched my father playing this when i was I child and i saw how he struggle just to finish this game... So nostalgic... Thanks to the internet i can still watch this...

[loganconerly]

We are not worthy of this valiant soldier. Until this day I had come to the conclusion that this game was unbeatable.

[vgrvxfu]

The game that made me destroy my first controller.
