Starting tomorrow, everyone can preorder IllFonic’s 4v1 hauntingly action-filled game for the Nintendo Switch. Both a digital and physical version of the game will be released, but the digital version is the only version launching on October 19. No physical version released date has been given. The Ecto Edition includes all four DLC’s and cost $19.99. In our original review of Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed we scored it 70 out of 100, saying “While a bit surface level at times, the cooperative experience of busting ghosts always brought a smile to my face. Whether you’re priming the proton pack or spooking civilians, fans of Ghostbusters will find a lot to love. However, fans of existing asymmetrical experiences may struggle to look beyond the simplicity.”
