“Most retro revival games do not fully understand their roots. Ghosts n' Goblins: Resurrection understands its roots almost to a fault. Is the RNG a little too barbaric at times? Without a doubt. But if you go in with…”
“Reading other reviews I was under the impression that this was a simple graphical overhaul of the game I played when I was a kid so let me tell you that I was pleasently surprised when I found out that they added a lot…”
“Solid Ghost and Goblins. Prepare to die, a lot, and not in a fair way. Your patience will be tested. The game is brutal, period. Yes, there are lower difficulties that make your journey easier... but in order to taste…”

“The revamped art and the new graphics are really good. They respect all the elements of the original game and keep the same vibe. However, they also kept one thing from the old version, the overwhelming difficulty. This…”
“If you love the challenge and difficulty of the original games, then here it is, back in all its eternal glory. Same weapons as usual, Lance, Dagger, Fire, Bow, and a strange chakram and Warhammer. This one does NOT (to…”
“Similar but different to the classic games. The art style has that weird medieval art style which I think is suitable for this game. You get to choose some of the levels instead of it being totally linear so there is…”

“If you’ve spent any time reading reviews for Ghosts 'n Goblins Resurrection, you’ve probably noticed a common theme: “It’s too hard!” And honestly… I can’t help but smile a little when I see that. Yes, the game is…”

“I played this on my friend's Switch and really enjoyed it! It's old school hard, BUT you get infinite lives, and lots of checkpoints. It's $3 right now. For that it's totally worth it if you like this series at all.”
“For 3 bucks this game is worth every penny, which is why I recommend it. Ghosts 'n Goblins is one of my favorite platformers, so hopefully this game is as good as the arcade version or the Genesis port; which was a one…”

“A charming platformer with a lot of classic game design sensibility but also offers generous checkpoints outside of the highest difficulty. A fun game as long as you have a sense of humour and don't mind dying a lot in…”

“TLDR: The Temu version of G n G. I mean, I remember Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts being balls hard and chalk full of secret chests but this game is just ridiculous. 229 of these umbral bee things to collect, some of which the…”

“Beating a game twice is ok. Having to go through it three times is pushing it, but if you do not find the hellholes, then you have to go 4 times. Why do I have to start from the beginning at that 4th playthrough? Also,…”

“Easily worth the 12 quarters. Beating it twice in a row like the OG might be a bit more costly than that though... Be swell if the game included the arcade originals and the PSP version of the remake as well though (heck maybe its an unlockable no idea).”
— a player, Steam review · 2 hrs played“Sure, it's hard - like, super hard - but in its current form, it's also full of checkpoints, save markers, and other crutches that prevent the user from having to go far back after their many inevitable deaths. I'm not all that good at action platformers anymore, and I never…”
— a player, Steam review · 2 hrs played“30% Skill, 70% RNG. Playing on anything other than normal difficulty is an exercise in frustration and patience with getting a good RNG cycle. I love difficult games, but this is not how to do it. Games that are meant to be this hard really should have some set patterns, but…”
