Wombo Combo Games, a small indie team of two from Fukuoka, Japan, has reached its target goal of $20,000 on Kickstarter to complete development of its Roguelike beat ‘em up Ghost Vanguard.

Now, additional funds will contribute to stretch goals, supporting the development of more bosses, a turbo mode for faster gameplay, PlayStation and Xbox ports and a new playable character, named Reala, inspired by the thief/rogue class, alongside more stretch goals to bring additional features to the game.

With the support from current backers and increasing Wishlists on Steam through the newly launched Demo, doubling its Wishlist count within a week to over 14,000 in total, the developers are offering free in-game features to all players of Ghost Vanguard on its official release through the use of ‘Community Rewards’, which have all been unlocked, with free character cosmetics and dynamic weapon appearances.

Kickstarter backers can leave their mark in the world of Ghost Vanguard with fun and unique rewards personalised to backers' designs.

Rewards include ways for backers to leave their mark on Ghost Vanguard. From the Vanguards’ Hall memoriam plaques to towering statues based on their own designs, likenesses, pets, or even company/brand logos - for any publishers or studios out there (similar to the Ancient Crypt in Sea of Stars, which also began as a Kickstarter reward).

Backers can also leave personalised messages within the world of Ghost Vanguard through the Engraved reward by engaging with certain touch points in the game (think of speaking to Bloodborne’s Yharnamites through their candlelit windows or doors), as well as design unique spells and relics, or even appear in the game as an NPC with a custom illustrated portrait, in-game pixel art, and recorded vocal efforts (grunts, attacks, and exertion sounds).

Example of the Vanguards’ Hall, where backers will have their own individual plaque or statue dedicated to them, depending on the level of reward they pledge to.

Backers can leave their message in locations around the world of Ghost Vanguard.
