Ghouls 'n Ghosts vs Haunted Castle

Ghouls 'n Ghosts puts players in the armor of Arthur, a knight on a perilous quest through eerie, monster‑infested levels. The game expands on its predecessor with upward and downward firing, treasure‑chest mechanics, and powerful gold‑armor attacks. Players must traverse five brutal stages twice, uncover hidden weapons, and finally face Lucifer in a climactic showdown, demanding skill, timing, and strategic weapon use.

Haunted Castle is a retro platform hack-and-slash game where players battle through a spooky castle filled with monsters and traps. Developed and published by Konami, it originally launched in 1987 and later appeared on PlayStation 2. The game offers single‑player arcade action with fast‑paced combat, atmospheric horror visuals, and a nostalgic challenge for fans of classic side‑scroll beat ’em ups.
