Ghostrealm Heroes is a crossover fighting game inspired by the Super Smash Bros. series developed and published by Ghostrealm Studios as a "celebration" of Krexxal (t∣b∣c)'s time on Fantendo.
Intro Movie[]
The game opens with a computer screen labeled "Ghostrealm Heroes". A sigh is heard as the person looking at the screen clicks on it, before the camera zooms into the computer, following the wires and cables.
The camera then focuses on a view of Ghostrealm Stadium, where Kaiden, Taikari, L.K., and Volta stand before each other. Grinning, they leap into battle as the game's logo is shown. The next shot shows Elina firing off spheres of flame at Timid Guy, who's slashing through them with his sword. The following shot depicts Felton and Trent running alongside each other, before flying into the air alongside Yikkal, who's in his ship.
The next shot shows Kaiden and Taikari defeating L.K. and Volta, before turning towards each other. Exchanging grins, they leap at each other, with the camera focusing on five silhouettes of the unlockable characters: the Soul Grazer, Trumbone, Mario, Link, and the Yoshi King. If they're unlocked, they'll actually appear instead of just a silhouette. After this scene, the game's title screen is shown.
Gameplay[]
Ghostrealm Heroes plays similarly to the Super Smash Bros. series of fighting games made by Nintendo, more specifically Melee and Smash 4, in that traditional health bars are absent in favor of attacking foes to raise a damage percentage. As this percentage rises, players are more easily knocked off the stage. To score a KO, the player needs to rack up enough damage to be able to knock the opponent off the stage. Characters have a wide array of moves, ranging from ground attacks, to aerials, to special moves, to Super Moves, special moves akin to the "Final Smashes" of Super Smash Bros., which are activated by filling up a bar above their damage meter. Each character also has a Passive Ability which grants them a small bonus of sorts.
Unlike Super Smash Bros. however, the game has no such thing as a "fall state", meaning that recovery is essentially a nonfactor, not to mention that every character gets two midair jumps. This places a greater emphasis on aerial combat, and makes fights last much longer as the aim is to KO the opponent before they can regain control of their character, rather than leaving them at the mercy of being unable to get back to the stage.. Another unique mechanic is that when attacked, the damage meter takes time to go up. If you land an attack on the opponent during this time, it won't go up as high, allowing you to essentially regain health by attacking your opponent after they've hit you.
Grabbing remains a vital technique, but unlike in Smash, you can actually angle your grab above or below you, allowing you to grab opponents who are in the air. Airdodge physics are also similar to that of Melee, allowing for wavedashing and wavelanding. Wavedashing in particular is much easier to perform than in Melee.

Characters[]
Ghostrealm Heroes has 13 playable characters from the company's various projects. All of them have their own advantages and disadvantages, so be sure to try them all out!
Each character also has access to a wide array of Skins, which change their appearance and in some cases their voices. Skins also have a little bit of flavor lore associated with them, and tend to describe "what if" scenarios that are just for fun.
Default Characters[]
Default characters are available from the start.
Kaiden Kaiden had his life changed forever when the krexxon burned down his village and invaded Ascerth. Yet, he didn't let it stop him as he rallied a team of like-minded allies to stop the krexxon and save the planet. From there, Kaiden would also go on to end the invasion of the Circle of Shadows as well, before heading to Jalgor to kick their asses even further! In Ghostrealm Heroes, Kaiden is a balanced fighter intended for beginners. He utilizes a swordplay-oriented moveset that revolves around his swords, and more or less has an aggressive playstyle fitting the game's physics, with his sword attacks having great range. He also has access to a projectile for zoning as well as good grab range and strong air attacks, and great defensive capability thanks to his Parry passive. Yet, Kaiden isn't without his weaknesses. He lacks a reliable way of combatting projectiles unless he shoots his own, which leaves him open. Kaiden also suffers from slow air speed due to his armor, and also takes time to land on the ground. Overall, Kaiden revolves around an aggressive playstyle that's ideal for newcomers, but veterans may find themselves lacking specialization in some situations. |

Miscellaneous Kaiden simply walks onto the battlefield before unsheathing his swords for his entrance animation. Kaiden's taunts depict him clanging his swords together, sitting down and meditating, and looking around before clenching his fist. |
Taikari Taikari, a well-reknown mercenary, once fought for her own glory in the Zalvar Sector, trusting nobody and making a name for herself. However, a series of events involving a crash on a foreign planet and the assembly of a crew of like-minded allies to work on solving a mystery regarding the Circle of Shadows. Taikari and her allies became leaders within the Vanguard of Spirits, and worked hard to successfully put an end to them! In Ghostverse Heroes, Taikari is the definition of "heavyweight": her attacks hit hard at the cost of reduced mobility, due to her heavy armor. She also has access to a decent range of projectile attacks, making her deadly from a distance. Combine that with her general resistance to knockback and her tether grab, and you have a solid character. Taikari does suffer from several weaknesses however. Being a heavyweight, she has a faster falling speed, as well as low movement speed on the ground. This makes it difficult to reach opponents from afar, and also means she attacks slower than others. Taikari's poor mobility also extends to her jump height. Overall, Taikari is a high-risk, high-reward character who rewards players that manage to land hits on their opponents, but suffers when it comes to movement options, thus forcing players to work defensively in a sense. |

Miscellaneous Taikari's entrance animation consists of her flying into the battlefield in her ship. Taikari's taunts depict her taking off her helmet and smirking, spinning her pistols, and shooting her flamethrower into the air. |
Felton & Trent These two birds have been best friends since childhood, and have had to endure all sorts of adventures thanks to their teamwork. While initial battles saw them going against a thieving hawk, the arrival of the Circle of Shadows on Wanotori led to them heading to Ascerth, and even beyond to Jalgor! In Ghostrealm Heroes, Felton and Trent uniquely play as a duo of characters, fighting alongside each other. One bird will always be in the front, with Felton being faster but weaker, and Trent hitting harder but moving slower. This mechanic allows for them to perform unique combos and attacks no other character can achieve, while also granting a sheer increase in attack power. The duo, being birds, also benefit from a strong aerial game that grants them more mobility in the air than other characters, not to mention them getting an additional midair jump. Despite these strengths, Felton and Trent suffer from flaws no other character has to deal with, namely the fact that the bird in the back can be KO'd independently from the leader, thus forcing the leader to play on their own for a minute or so before the other bird responds. While solo, Felton and Trent's damage potential is much lower, and they can be more easily knocked around. Besides this mechanic, the duo are quite floaty in general, making them more vulnerable to being knocked around, and the lack of a proper projectile also hinders them. Players looking to play as Felton and Trent have a unique playstyle to handle, albeit one that has its own pros and cons compared to other characters. |

L.K. Leon "L.K." Capture was the first companion to join Mario after Bowser's takeover of the Mushroom Kingdom. Together, the two of them explored the world, taking on Bowser's empire while building up a resistance movement against the tyrant. And in the end, they took down Neo Bowser City and restored the Mushroom Kingdom to its former glory. And after that, they even went all the way to the Kaliente Kingdom to defeat another tyrant. In Ghostrealm Heroes, L.K. is a master of grabs and utility, being able to grab opponents in midair and perform aerial throws. This makes L.K. extremely formidable up close, and requires you to think carefully as you take him on. L.K. also benefits from a strong combo game on the ground, using his cloud and camera to dish out heavy damage. L.K. does however suffer from numerous weaknesses. He's literally one of the floatiest characters in the roster, which makes him easy to knock around. L.K. is also quite slow on foot, making it difficult for him to reach opponents, though this is remedied with his Red Shell projectile. To sum things up, L.K. is a fighter who has a bit of an offensive playstyle, and suffers when it comes to incoming attacks. Yet, those who can master him are capable of performing outrageous combos. |

Miscellaneous L.K. flies onto the stage in his cloud for his entrance animation. L.K.'s taunts depict him taking pictures of the nearby scenery, filtering through his camera for a photo, and ducking into his cloud while looking around. |
Elina Elina practiced magic all her life. Studying it, utilizing it, fighting with it, et cetera. Yet, the arrival of the krexxon on Ascerth forced her to utilize more of the latter as she fought alongside Kaiden and several others for the future of Ascerth. From there on, she'd study magic even further as the Divinios, and eventually confront the Soul Grazer in a matter of life and death! In Ghostrealm Heroes, Elina is the definition of glass cannon: she hits ridiculously hard with her various projectiles, and each of them have their own purposes. She can attack from relatively far away, and is great for keeping distance from opponents, battering them with countless projectiles. However, as a glass cannon, Elina is relatively lightweight and can be knocked around by attacks relatively easily. This makes zoning important, as you'll need to keep your distance from enemies in order to make the most of Elina's abilities. Elina also suffers from low ground speed and a poor grab game. Overall, Elina is a hard-hitting character who needs to keep her distance from enemies. In the hands of a skilled player, she's extremely powerful. |

Miscellaneous Elina's entrance animation has her teleporting onto the battlefield. Elina's taunts depict her flipping through a book, creating a flame in her right hand, and spinning her staff around. |
Timid Guy This sword-wielding Shy Guy jumped ship from Bowser's army to join Mario and co. in the struggle against the shelled tyrant. He explored the world alongside Mario, taking on all sorts of foes, and later went to the Kaliente Kingdom to take on all sorts of new foes! In Ghostrealm Heroes, Timid Guy is a unique character, being a heavyweight that not only uses a sword, but has a small hitbox. Timid Guy hits hard with his attacks, and they have frightening knockback too, allowing him to disrupt combos easily. He also benefits from reduced knockback himself, and isn't that floaty as a whole. His Shield Buster Passive also makes him extremely powerful against shielding opponents. However, Timid Guy is slow, both on the ground and in the air. He cannot move around all that easily, and more or less relies on enemies coming for him. He also suffers in regards to slow attack speeds, though this is compensated by his heavy damage output. To sum things up, Timid Guy is a hard-hitting character who may have trouble navigating the battlefield at times. But if you hit someone, you hit them HARD. |

Miscellaneous Timid Guy's entrance animation depicts him riding an Autobomb from Super Mario Bros. 2 into the battlefield. Timid Guy's taunts depict him tossing his sword into the air, attempting a spin attack but then getting dizzy, and striking poses with his sword. |
Volta From the age of seventeen, Volta Everblitz received the ability to manipulate and control machinery, not to mention a vast array of electricity-based powers. She sought to use these powers as a superhero known as the Vyrus, defending the city of Vancouver from all sorts of threats. And after finding out her brother also received powers, she took him on and stopped a terrorist organization from conquering the world! In Ghostrealm Heroes, Volta is a character who operates around deceiving and tricking opponents. She's by far the fastest character when it comes to dodging attacks, and can even perform attacks right out of shield. Volta also possesses unprecendented mobility, allowing her to avoid attacks quickly and bombard opponents with her own, taking advantage of combo-friendly moves. However, Volta tends to lack KO power at higher percentages, making her weaker in the late game. She's also quite lightweight and can be knocked around easily, as well as being floaty as a whole. Overall, Volta is a fast-paced fighter who lacks raw power at later percentages. Use her speed to confuse enemies! |

Yikkal At the age of twenty, Yikkal led the Vigilants mercenary team. He was initially beset by his own sense of inferiority and worthlessness, but over time, he learned to brush those aside. Him and his team searched the galaxy for the newly-discovered mineral Astrium. On the way, they found themselves fighting in a war and making a name for themselves! In Ghostrealm Heroes, Yikkal is notorious for having the most reach on his attacks, thanks to his staff. He doesn't need to keep his distance all that often. However, the staff is far from his greatest trait. Yikkal has access to an anti-projectile tool in his Reflector, as well as homing missiles from the Rocket Launcher. His special moves are versatile and can usually be used for multiple purposes. However, it's not all sunshine and rainbows for Yikkal. All of his special moves, as well as his staff, use up energy from their own energy meters. When the meter is depleted, those moves have reduced functionality, and in the case of the staff, it simply deals less damage, but will return to full after some time. Energy can be monitored via Yikkal's damage display, and careful management of it is key to playing as him. Besides the energy mechanic, Yikkal lacks a strong aerial game, forcing you to play close to or on the ground. To sum things up, Yikkal is a fighter with a myriad of tools at his disposal. However, he has to watch out for how much energy he has. |

Unlockable Characters[]
Unlockable characters must be unlocked by fulfilling specific criteria or simply playing matches.
Soul Grazer Broken by his greatest adversary. Beaten. Left to die. All of this came to an end with the mercenary known as Kalgosh became the Nullifier's champion and the leader of the Circle of Shadows. He tore apart planets, killed legions of soldiers, and ushered in an era of darkness for the galaxy. Yet, he never forgot about his true foe: Taikari. It took an invasion of the planet Jalgor to end this monster's life. In Ghostrealm Heroes, the Soul Grazer is a defensive character focused on turning his opponents' strength against them. This comes into play with his Shadow Shield move, which can block enemy attacks and allow him to counterattack, not to mention that he can absorb enemy projectiles to heal himself with it! The Soul Grazer also possesses a good projectile game, being able to utilize his Soul Bomb move and move it around to target specific enemies. Plus, he has a lot of KO power for when enemies get to higher percentages thanks to his Vorsalach Strike move, on top of an excellent grab game. However, the Soul Grazer isn't without his weaknesses. Most of his attacks have a lot of ending lag, making it risky if an attack misses, not to mention that his Soul Bomb move leaves him vulnerable in the process of using it. The Soul Grazer is also lacking in regards to his combo moves, as they usually only hit once or twice for big damage, and he has a naturally large hitbox due to his height. Players looking to play as the Soul Grazer need to focus on landing attacks precisely and effectively. |

Miscellaneous The Soul Grazer's entrance animation depicts him forming on the stage via shadow magic. The Soul Grazer's taunts depict him placing Vorsalach on the ground, creating a ball of shadow energy in his hand, and putting his fists together while laughing. |
Trumbone Created from assorted bones, the Dry Bones known as Trumbone simply found himself wandering the world alongside his trumpet, searching for an audience for his music. Yet, when he came across Mario and the burgeoning resistance movement against Bowser, he was eager to join and find allies for the first time. And along the way, he explored the world and found all sorts of new compositions to play. And even in his journey to the Kaliente Kingdom he found even more adventure. In Ghostrealm Heroes, Trumbone is a lightweight fighter who specializes in disabling opponents with his music, more specifically his Trumpet Honk move, which can lock opponents out of a specific special move for a few seconds! Trumbone's special moves are mostly designed around either crippling opponents or enhancing his own capabilities, and as such he can be a formidable force if left to his own devices. He has good mobility on the ground and in the air due to his lack of muscle as a living skeleton. However, Trumbone falls faster than most lightweights, and can easily be knocked around as well. His special moves, while also powerful, aren't exactly the best for dishing out direct damage, and are more gradual in a sense. Trumbone also lacks KO power at higher percentages, with a lack of finishing moves. Overall, Trumbone is a character who places an emphasis on tricking opponents and punishing them, but lacks when it comes to sheer power. |

Mario The hero of the Mushroom Kingdom, Mario saw himself fighting Bowser's biggest plan yet when he destroyed Toad Town and conquered the world. Yet, with the help of L.K., Timid Guy, and Trumbone, along with many of his past friends, Mario not only saved Princess Peach from Bowser again, but also brought about peace between him and the Koopa King! And later on, Mario saw himself going to the Kaliente Kingdom to stop another tyrant he'd fought before! In Ghostrealm Heroes, Mario plays similarly to how he does in the Super Smash Bros. series, except in regards to his special moves, as he draws from Super Mario Excursion and Super Mario Expedition, including the outfit from the latter. He retains his all-around status with average stats in just about everything, and no identifiable weaknesses, making him a versatile character, much like Kaiden. In general, he lacks lag on his attacks and is difficult to punish, and also possesses a good projectile game. However, being a jack of all trades has its disadvantages. Mario lacks specialization, meaning that most of the cast is stronger than him in at least one regard. Mario does lack consistency with his KO setups as well, making it tough to find the perfect situation to kill. Overall, Mario is a jack of all trades who can be powerful if mastered, but is a master of no particular trait, which is a double-edged sword of sorts. |

Link This particular incarnation of Hyrule's hero draws from three timelines: one where Hyrule fought a war against the nation of Termina, one where Ganon sought to bring the Triforce into the Dark World, and another where the lands of the sky and the desert below came into conflict. No matter the timeline, Link fights for justice with the help of the Triforce of Courage. In Ghostrealm Heroes, Link plays much like Toon Link in the Super Smash Bros. series, but draws upon The Legend of Zelda: War of the Triforce, The Legend of Zelda: Fields of Hyrule, and The Legend of Zelda: Pierced Skies. He possesses a myriad of useful tools and projectiles at his disposal, making him a versatile character. Link also benefits from a strong ground game with impressive combo potential. His shield also grants a useful way of dealing with projectiles. Yet, Link is not without his weaknesses. He doesn't do that well against characters with reflecting capabilities, as they shut down his projectile game and make it difficult for him to land combos. Link is also quite floaty and easy to knock around, and is generally weak in the air. Players looking to play as Link have a versatile set of projectiles to play around with, but can easily be punished for making mistakes. |

Yoshi King I'm sorry, is that a Yoshi with a tiny crown on his head? He hasn't been seen since Super Mario World 3: Return to Dinosaur World! I mean, he didn't do much, but he was still part of it nonetheless. We did forget about him as time went on though. In his first appearance in seven years, the Yoshi King is by far the most comedic character in the game. He plays similarly to Yoshi in the Super Smash Bros. series, but his special moves draw upon his debut appearance. The Yoshi King possesses a lot of utility with his moves, and has excellent aerial mobility thanks to his Flutter Jump passive. He's great for pressuring opponents, which is improved further by how hard his attacks hit. Yet, the Yoshi King lacks when it comes to his grab game, due to him grabbing with his tongue instead of his hands. His Yoshi Egg-shaped shield is also among the worst in the game due to a lack of out of shield options, and he's also a bit heavy in some regards, falling quickly after being hit by attacks. Overall, the Yoshi King is an unorthodox character who can make the most of his moveset and possesses raw power, but suffers in regards to his ground game and shielding. |

Hyness is probably the most projectile-oriented boss, attacking quickly with all sorts of projectiles. It'll be tough to land hits on him, but you can take advantage of his floatiness. |
Sha of Pride |
Origin: World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria
The Sha of Pride is more or less a stationary boss. However, during the fight you have a Pride meter that goes up whenever you're hit by the boss alongside the damage you take. Certain attacks that the Sha of Pride uses are more dangerous the more Pride you have. Pride can be cleansed by defeating the Manifestations of Pride that the Sha of Pride periodically summons. |
Heavy King |
Origin: Sonic Mania
The Heavy King relies on various projectiles to attack you. However, what you should watch out for is when he pulls out the Phantom Ruby. Should he not be attacked in time, the battlefield will change to one of the game's stages, requiring you to deal with hazards alongside the Heavy King. |
Music[]
Ghostrealm Heroes is different from other fighting games in that any song can be played on any stage, and you can even upload your own music. Custom music is disabled in online matches however. In addition to each stage's normal music, there are several songs that aren't related to any stages at all, simply due to them being songs that Krexxal (t∣b∣c) likes:
