help Ghouls 'n Ghosts FAQ

Who do you actually play as in Ghouls 'n Ghosts?

You play as Sir Arthur, not Shinpei, in Capcom's 1988 arcade sequel to Ghosts 'n Goblins. The story sends Arthur after Lucifer, called Loki in some English home versions, to restore Princess Prin-Prin's soul.

Why do people say Ghouls 'n Ghosts makes you finish it twice?

Like Ghosts 'n Goblins, Ghouls 'n Ghosts requires a second loop to reach the true ending. On the later run, Arthur needs the right special weapon to finish the final confrontation.

What changed from Ghosts 'n Goblins to Ghouls 'n Ghosts?

The 1988 game added directional attacks so Arthur can strike upward and downward, which changes how you handle ladders, ledges, and flying enemies. It also introduced upgraded gold armor and magic attacks tied to weapons.

Which home version of Ghouls 'n Ghosts is famous on Sega hardware?

The Sega Genesis version is one of the best-known home ports and arrived early in the console's life. It helped show off Capcom's arcade action on 16-bit hardware alongside versions for systems like the Master System and PC Engine SuperGrafx.
