“Who you gonna call?” Ghostbusters is a new mobile game that accurately captures the elements of the popular i0s movie franchise. Players must be able to capture ghosts using their proton packs, ghost traps, and various abilities in order to defeat the nasty ghoulies, and players must be able to have their ghostbusters work as a team in order to find success and rake in the cash.
Gameplay
Players will be tasked build their own team of ghostbusters and use them to defeat and capture several specters within the city. There will be main missions and minor missions that the team can undertake, and it is a matter of getting the right equipments and resources such as slimes so that the team can effectively catch the ghosts terrorizing the metropolis.
Currency
Cash and slime are the main currencies involved within the game. Both can be acquired by completing missions, and each serve a variety of purposes. Cash can be used to hire additional ghostbusters, as well as to purchase and upgrade gear so that your team can have an easier time capturing ghosts. Slime, in turn, can be used to unlock specific missions. Additionally, captured ghosts can produce slime that must be collected from your containment area, which is found at the fire station.
Missions
Missions in Ghostbusters entail going to buildings in order to capture ghosts. Minor missions are considered as “busts” and will earn you cash and slime which you can use in major quests. It is in the latter that you will be spending the majority of your time as you and your team aim to improve your roster and equipment in order to defeat stronger ghosts.
Sometimes, a door will require a specific number of slimes before it can be unlocked. Make sure that you have enough slimes so that you can push forward with the mission. Otherwise, you can do more busts or collect slimes from your containment unit in order to acquire the required amount.
Battle
Players can control multiple busters at a time. In order to control a specific member, players must tap on hold on the character and move him or her on the desired location. The character can also be used to attack ghosts by tapping on the ghost once you’ve selected the character.
Each character also has specific abilities, such as Stun or Heal, so players must be able to use them wisely in order to gain the upper hand in each battle. Once the ghost’s health has been depleted enough, players can throw traps in order to capture the ghost.
Once the scene has been completed, the screen will show how each member in your team performed, as well as on what awards were given to you, such as cash or slime.
Sometimes, more ghosts will show up, which will require an adequate number of ghostbusters to be put in action, with each having appropriate abilities and skills in order for them to be able to gain the upper hand. Players may focus all of their attacks to one specific ghost before moving on to the others so that they would have an easier time as compared to spreading all their offense among all possible targets in the area.
Fire Station
The fire station acts as the Ghostbusters’ home base. This is where players place their captured ghosts, and this is also where players can upgrade or acquire new gear, resources, and even hire new ghostbusters to include to their team. Players may also purchase furniture to decorate the station, but this feature is not yet available as of now.
Ghostbusters
Players can also hire new ghostbusters, with each having their own special abilities. Hiring ghostbusters will require cash, so make sure that you have enough to hire your desired member. Players can also manage their team by putting members that they do not want to use in the inactive roster and placing their desired members in the active roster. This way, they can juggle between different ghostbusters and use their abilities depending on the situation.
It is recommended that you have an adequately equipped team with good all around abilities so that you may choose as to which among your team are best suited for the current task at hand.
