Ghostly Horizon

Ghostly Horizon is a third-person spell-casting game built around short, match-based battles on spherical worlds. You can play alone or cooperate with friends, using spells and teamwork to tackle different modes and their harder difficulty levels. There is no story to follow; you can also work to improve your play and climb the leaderboards.

Game modes

The two main modes, Invasion and Survival, are playable in single-player or co-op with up to 10 players. Three additional modes—Battle Royale, Conquest and Training—offer free-for-all or team-based PvP.

Spherical worlds

Each world is a spherical planet you can travel around freely, with no borders or movement restrictions. A full day-and-night cycle includes one sun and two moons, while biomes include desert, leaf-woods, pine-woods, arctic regions and lakes.

Spells and player builds

All players have the same stats to allocate. Your choices adjust traits such as movement speed, jump height, cooldown time and status-effect duration, while selecting spell elements during a match lets you shape your playstyle.

There are seven elements, each with four spells, and you can have two elements active at once. Spells come in types including Projectile, Bolt, Spray, Slash, Ray, Instant and Self-targeted; each spell is distinct, and each element has its own style.

Teamwork

Some modes require cooperation to take objectives, while others do not. Working together can still give your team an advantage: healing spells are mainly designed for use on friends, and boost-rays can increase a friend's spell damage. A boost-AoE increases the damage of all allies within its area.

Three or more players can create a teleport by casting boost-rays at one another in a circle. Teleports can be risky: without understanding their hidden mechanics, you may emerge from an enemy teleport.

Visual style

The game uses a low-poly style with hard and soft gradients in its textures.
