Ghosts 'N Goblins: Gold Knights II

About

Ghosts 'N Goblins: Gold Knights II is a sidescrolling platformer that throws you into medieval chaos with two knights. You control Arthur and Perceval as they battle through haunted castles and dragon-infested levels to free Lancelot. The gameplay leans into tight controls and punishing difficulty, demanding precise jumps and quick reflexes. Each level is packed with enemies, traps, and boss fights that test your patience more than your skill. The game's retro charm and relentless challenge stand out, though mixed reception highlights its steep learning curve. With a Metacritic score of 62, some praise its faithful revival of classic arcade tropes while others call it overly harsh. Its iOS port makes it accessible for short bursts, but expect to die a lot. The dual-character system adds minor strategy but doesn't soften the brutality.
