About the Game


The Good Ghouls is a campy horror mystery featuring action-packed brawler combat and hilarious narrative elements. Fight a demonic robot apocalypse as your favorite classic monster.






Use horrifying combos to bash some robot skulls. Punch your way through hordes of robots and unlock powerful new combat skills that will reduce your enemies to piles of nuts and bolts. Collect gears in the wake of your robot destruction to purchase items and upgrades for some extra scary fun!






Explore the town of Ghoulcrest, where the environments and characters are powered by the nostalgia of your favorite 80s/90s horror flicks. Should you choose to help some of your monstrous neighbors out, you might be in for additional pickups or loot.






It’s the night of the school dance, but instead of doing the monster mash, you’re stuck in detention scanning books into the digital library. All hell breaks loose when the Necronomicon is scanned into the computer, spawning an army of dangerously demonic robots. It’s up to you to uncover who is responsible for unleashing evil across Ghoulcrest.
