Three unique characters are added to your roster in Mr. Hop in your time machine and beat the piss out of some ninjas. It’s a nice callback when these rounds happen and it kicks you in the nostalgia in just the right way. Yes, you’ll be traveling back to the Sega Genesis era and roughing up enemies that are extinct by the time of 4 in their retro glory. The survival “simulation” often brings you back in time to duke it out with enemies of the classic Streets of Rage titles in their natural environment. In one run you might have steadily buffed your special attack to deal more damage while consuming less of your health and in the next, you’re both dealing and suffering double damage. It’s about like a side-scrolling Binding of Isaac beat ’em up in this regard and I was pleasantly surprised by the selection. Progression is rewarded by a choice of one of up to three choices to improve your character for the duration of your run. Each round is more difficult than the last with enemies and environmental dangers keeping you on your toes at every turn. X Nightmare introduces a survival mode that’s likely to push your skills to the limit. Most of the information was blurred, but players have theorised based on what was shown that it could be the game's first ghost pair called 'The Twins' - which, if correct, I'm betting will be based on cinema's most famous ghost pair from The Shining.You know what would make our hefty friend Max even better? If he could spend all of his time berserking instead of worrying about eating entire chickens out of garbage cans. Most of the information was previously "redacted", but the card now states that the Halloween update will include a campsite map, two new ghosts, and a difficulty rework that incorporates a new "nightmare difficulty" setting.Įarlier this month Kinetic Games posted a teaser for the two new ghost types showing the journal entry for one of them. The new update was teased back in September, after developer Kinetic Games added a new card to Phasmophobia's public Trello board promising a "major update" for Halloween. The Phasmophobia Halloween update is arriving tomorrow after numerous teases over the last month, and is now titled Phasmophobia Nightmare - after the new, presumably more intense difficulty level that'll be a key part of the update, along with a tease of the new campsite map.
