Ghostlore
Released just a couple of weeks ago, Ghostlore is a modern example of the indie Diablo-like done so well. Created by just two people, this short but very deep take on the genre has a completely unique setting, weaving mythologies from Malaysia, Singapore, China and Indonesia, while also innovating in subtle ways that Diablo itself could learn from.
From the ability to combine skills from different classes to create unique third abilities, to its intricate glyph-based boosts, it’s bold enough to rethink some of the aspects that are often taken for granted.
For a two-person creation, this is amazing stuff, with some refreshing changes, while remaining faithful to the roots. Oh, and you wouldn’t believe how satisfying brevity can feel in a genre that usually lasts for infinity hours.
