Wombo Combo Games, a small indie team of two from Fukuoka, Japan, has launched on Kickstarter to raise $20,000 to complete development of its Roguelike beat ‘em up Ghost Vanguard. Any additional funds will contribute to stretch goals, supporting the development of additional language support, new playable characters, NG+ modes and console ports for PlayStation and Xbox.

Rewards also include ways for backers to leave their mark on the game by leaving personalised messages in the world of Ghost Vanguard (think interacting with Bloodborne’s Yharnamites from their candlelit window or through their doors), designing spells, relics, and statues that enhance gameplay and bosses.

A new trailer is available that showcases more of Ghost Vanguard's gameplay, with devastating combos that throw enemies into the air and slam them back down into the ground and epic spells that freeze and set enemies ablaze. The trailer also showcases a variety of weapons and upgrades available and gives a first look at some of the characters you’ll meet as you venture through vast gothic labyrinths.

Players will be able to get a hands-on experience of Ghost Vanguard during the Kickstarter with a brand new demo on Steam. The demo features:

Around 2–3 hours of gameplay with 2 unique bosses.

A variety of builds to create, including Flame Weapon Buff build, Frost Mage, Aerial Combo, or Light Burst builds
