Overview
Description

The Extreme Ghostbusters have detected a surge of paranormal activity and must act quickly to uncover the source of the new threat. Players can choose from four iconic characters, each with unique abilities, and dive into three exclusive game modes: Training, Arcade, and Adventure. In each mode, you’ll confront dozens of terrifying enemies, from mischievous specters to massive boss ghosts. Designed for single‑player fun, the game offers a PEGI‑3 rating, making it perfect for younger gamers who love fast, shooter‑style action.

Ghostbusters puts you in charge of the iconic team as you patrol midtown Manhattan from an overhead map, responding to ghost alarms and chasing roaming spirits. When you reach a haunted site, the view shifts to a side‑scroll where two Busters use proton beams and traps to capture the ectoplasm. Earn money from each capture to upgrade your Ghostmobile and buy new equipment, keeping the city’s PK level low and preventing the rise of Gozer. The game blends strategic routing with fast‑paced side‑view combat for a nostalgic arcade experience.
