    J'aime GhostControl Inc. C'est rigolous! Comme un mélange de Ghostbusters et le viel XCOM avec un petit peu de Theme Hospital. J'adore son bonne humeur.

    Saw this at PAX East, bought it immediately. Love it, can't believe I have seen it before. If you like Ghost Busters and you love business sims this is definitely the game for you!

    Really love this beautiful homage to classic Ghostbusters and 16bit charmed games like XCOM and SimHospital. Character graphics seem to be handmade and music is just funky chiptunes music - Must hear!

    Really enjoyed this one - and I could play it on my Mac :-) It really picked up where the original attempts at Ghost hunting failed. Loved all the challenges, the phone calls got on my nerve a little but overall the game was great fun with good gameplay and cool retro graphics - the latest update fixed all the glitches I had experienced and improved a few things to boot.

    This is a great entertaining game reminding me on good old games from the Nineties. Not a steep learning curve but it keeps me going to find out new things and explore it's universe. The ghost hunting is fun and challenging. Must Buy!

    A great turn based tactical ghost hunting game, it's everything I ever wanted in a ghostbusters simulator. Honestly I don't know why this hasn't come out sooner.

    You can tell the game is indie based though, the interface really needs polishing and a lot goes unexplained. As of right now I can't figure out how to do some things in the game and the game doesn't explain how to do it.

    In the end though, this is certainly a amazing example of what great indie games can come out if you support them. We need more of this and less Five Night at Freddies.    … Expand

    Be a bad guy, have a bad gun and destroy bad Ghost.
    I love this game!
    No, serious, this is a really fun having game, with a great mixture of tactics and strategy.
    When I start gaming, always the same: Just one other ghost to kill, just the next gun,...

    I discovered this gem in the Indie Zone at PAX East in Boston. It is a lighthearted game that brings back good old memories. I really like it. It is not overly complicated but there are many ways to sort out your own strategy which can be quite challenging. Do I add a training room or am I better off adding a lab instead? What equipment do I buy now? Should I save money for later. All theI discovered this gem in the Indie Zone at PAX East in Boston. It is a lighthearted game that brings back good old memories.

    I really like this game. It brings back good old memories. I wish it had some sort of multiplayer but it is alright to play by yourself too. You get to build your neat little ghost hunting business in a turn based fashion with great 90-ies music in the back ground and funny comments by your team. Go check it out. ;-)

    This is a nice casual turn based strategy game. Easy mechanics (but not too simple that it gets boring) that are still rather engaging and forgiving.

    It's not X-com: Ufo Defense or Jagged Alliance 2. (Or the newer ones: Xenonauts or JA: Flashback) but still lots of fun. The tutorials are nice and clear. The random newscasts are somewhat entertaining :D Small quick maps, that can    This is a nice casual turn based strategy game.

    The game is full of charm and little references that made me smile. From finishing a level and the leader saying “Controlling makes me feel good” a reference to the Ghostbuster’s song of the 80s. To potential employee names like “Mr. B” and “Bill Venkman,” It’s a game brimming with good fun. Pardon the pun.

    This turn-based game with both a no copy-and-paste theme, even today, and an interesting battle system unfortunately lacks more in-depth game mechanics, and you can see the authors are inexperienced and they lack of funds.

    Ghost Control will bring back a lot of nostalgic feelings, together with an old-school look.
