The verdict
A chaotic, brilliantly original 4-player couch brawler where dead players haunt the hero and take over by landing the killing blow. Skip it if you can't gather friends locally or want real online multiplayer.
Great for
Groups of friends or family sharing a couch with several controllers, looking for competitive chaos
Main risk
No real online multiplayer, so without local friends you're stuck with Remote Play hassles or mediocre bots
What players love
Unique hero/ghost role-swap concept
Mentioned in ~1 in 5 positive reviews
“The ever shifting roles and comradery between ghosts and versus the active player always keeps things changing.”

Weak and boring without local friends
Mentioned in ~1 in 5 negative reviews
“You really need a group of people to play with you for that to have any payoff. I just don't feel anything getting a win over some chaotic bots.”

Controller and input problems
Mentioned in ~1 in 8 negative reviews
