GHOSTWARE: Arena of the Dead (2023) | 4K60 | Longplay Ffull Game Walkthrough No Commentary
16Full game longplay (of what's available so far, Episode/Chapter 1), of GHOSTWARE: Arena of the Dead, a new retro/boomer shooter, released in April 2023 for the PC, developed by Hyperstrange. Played at something from 2560x1440 to 320x1800 at highest possible details as on my RTX 3060 and i5 11400f the game started slowing down quite a bit in the semi-open jungle area. Recorded at 4K60, H.265 NVENC codec via OBS.
GHOSTWARE focuses on a kind of mix between a Quake 3 Arena gameplay, arena-based fights, and a sort of parkour-lite, linear FPS like Far Cry Instincts. Weird comparison from me, I know, but that's how I felt. xD For now only the Episode 1 is available, and this is a longplay of it, more episodes are on their way I presume. Overall, I kind of should've expected an arena based combat, but I am just not a fan of it, I prefer typical Quake/Doom style retro shooters, not "multiplayer arena but with bot AI). The linear parts of gameplay that were present in the middle of the game were actually quite nice, and those I liked a lot more than the arenas. Main crutch of the story is breaking the fourth wall, and escaping the simulation that is this "arena world". Overall, I'd say it has potential to be very good, PROVIDED it goes more for the classic linear styl gameplay, arenas were the worst aspect for me so far. More usage of parkour/movemet, linear story, and more connection between the "chapters".
The world of GHOSTWARE is a mixture of hectic retro-fps action and slower pace of the adventure games. One minute you’ll be rocket-jumping through arenas, and next you’ll try to uncover the mystery behind this decaying simulation and its connections to the real world. Apart from the plot-heavy campaign mode you’ll get your chance to dive into the instant action of Arcade Mode and exclusive maps only for this mode.
You’ll start within familiar grounds: deathmatch or CTF, but soon you’ll be fighting for your life in a decaying world along some colorful characters and extremely lore-heavy plot. Strap yourselves in and dive into the madness of the Arena of the Dead.
