With the lights out, you won’t see ghosts until they’re right in front of you. As such, doors and light switches play a key role in governing combat visibility. Rather than your standard outdoor arenas, most of GhostControl’s missions take place inside apartments and homes. It’s mostly standard turn-based strategy fare, although the developers have added a few interesting thematic twists.
Different enemies have special abilities that can affect the flow of battle, such as teleporting, or stunning your hunters.
Each of your hunters gets two “action points” per turn which can be used to move around, take shots, lay traps, or change out equipment. Your hunters and the ghosts take turns moving around the grid-based environments and attacking each other. Ghost hunting is a lucrative trade – enough to support several competing manufacturers of guns and ghost traps – so you’ll need those upgrades to compete with business rivals on top of the specters, ghouls, and poltergeists.Ĭombat is likewise easy to grasp, as it’s essentially just a pared down version of XCOM.

Doing jobs earns you money, which you can use to buy better gear, hire more teammates, and eventually upgrade your office and car. You manage a team of “controllers” out of a small garage in central London, taking ghost-catching jobs around the city (really just the area immediately surrounding Westminster Abbey and the London Eye). German indie studio Bumblebee Games have brought some great ideas to the fore in making their off-brand paranormal pest-control simulator, but it’s held back by some baffling design choices and painfully obvious budget constraints. Of course, that doesn’t sell to publishers quite as easily as “ Gears of War clone with ghosts,” so it was left to fans to make it. It’s the Ghostbusters game that always needed to happen – one part ghost catching action, one part business simulation. There is a part of me that wants, desperately, to love GhostControl Inc.
