Ghost Master: Resurrection Reviews

Ghost Master: Resurrection is a passionate remake of a cult management game from the early 2000s. A blend of strategy and puzzle-solving set against a delightfully ghostly backdrop, the game is a treat for fans of the original thanks to its high fidelity to the source material. Having made that necessary introduction, the Nintendo Switch version is unfortunately not the best platform to experience Mechano Story Studio’s title. Between lengthy load times, various bugs, and technical compromises—both in graphical resolution and frame rate stability—the experience proved less smooth than hoped. A less-than-intuitive interface and a few too many rough edges in the button mapping round out a picture that only marginally benefits from the Nintendo Switch 2’s backward compatibility. Scaring humans is still fun even after more than twenty years... but it’s better to do it elsewhere.

Ghost Master: Resurrection is a game that’s hard to judge definitively. On the one hand, it’s a very successful remake that faithfully recreates the original Ghost Master. It offers significantly revamped visuals, new missions, and additional content that’s set to be expanded further—albeit in the form of paid DLC. On the other hand, when viewed through the lens of today’s standards, it’s hard to overlook its shortcomings. Technical issues, poor optimization, and mediocre graphics mean that despite improvements over the original, the game still feels rather outdated.
