An epic 3D reimagining of Ghost'n Goblins with armoured Arthur crossing demonic realms. The Capcom difficulty is firmly intact, but the modern staging and the reworked score keep the ride genuinely tasty throughout.

"Anecdotal"
Haunted graveyards, hordes of demons and teeming gothic settings: the game unfurls a macabre fantasy of rare richness, carried by deep colours. The density of the enemies and the care of the backgrounds overflow with character. This visual direction, dark and polished, elevates a classic renowned for its ruthlessness.

Ultimate Ghosts'n Goblins (PSP) price, value & rarity
A merciless rebirth of a cult series, this adventure sets the knight Arthur against a demonic procession built for punishment: multi-tiered guardians, infernal creatures and a lord of darkness atop a trap-laden gauntlet. Each boss tests memorization, precision and composure to the point of exhaustion. A formidable difficulty that keeps alive the legend of the genre's most demanding fights.
Is Ultimate Ghosts'n Goblins still worth playing in 2026?
A 3D reimagining of Ghosts'n Goblins for PSP, Goku Makaimura sends knight Arthur through demonic realms to save the princess, in an action platformer with a difficulty that stays legendary. The double jump, armor management and millimeter-perfect memorization keep all their flavor, enhanced by colorful 3D and new level-design ideas. The punishing demand and the length put off the hasty. An excellent demanding platformer, worth recommending to fans of old-school challenge and the Makaimura series.
