Evaluation
Ghoulboy launched on November 29, 2017 as a self-contained retro action platformer. The store description outlines a fixed set of features — 4 bosses, 3 weapons, 2 throwable weapons, puzzles, and chiptune music — with no mention of future updates, DLC, or additional content plans. The developer's post history consists of a pre-release announcement and two bug fix patches (one shortly after launch in December 2017, and one in February 2022). There have been no major content updates, no expansions, no DLC listings, and no developer statements indicating plans for additional content. The most recent developer communication was a bug fix on February 12, 2022, and there has been no activity since. This game appears to have launched as a complete, finished product and has remained so throughout its lifetime.

About this game
Ghoulboy is a retro-inspired style action platformer. Exciting new platformer that combines the action-RPG genre with hack 'n' slash gameplay. 2D action, heroic characters, gloomy environments, demonic bosses, these all seem to excite players a lot. Pixels will be combined with other cool retro elements and the result will certainly be something that will meet the needs of PC gamers. Once in-game, users will get to control a heroic character who will often be seen throwing a spear to create additional platforms. To boot, puzzle and combat elements will further enhance the experience. You wouldn’t want to miss out on it. With the gold that you collect, you can increase your health level, your arsenal of weapons to be thrown away.
Slay as many monsters as you can, collect loot, avoid dangerous traps and defeat menacing bosses.
Ghoulboy brings back the look and feel of the very best classic retro platformers from the 90's, introducing refreshed and engaging gameplay mechanics. If you miss platformers from the 16-bit era, and think games nowadays aren't that good anymore, think twice! Ghoulboy is for you.
