Hack And Slash Your Way Out Of Deathvally

Your job is to hack the ghouls of Deathvally before they turn you into one of them. There are four different types of baddies, including the Grim Reaper, who is extra hard to kill. They will pop up from behind gravestones and you must swipe your finger across each enemy to destroy them. There is a guardian angel that also lives in the graveyard. She will appear on a regular basis, but you don’t want to slash her to bits or you will lose health.

There are two bonuses that help get you through the game, the Holy Cross and God’s Shield. The Holy Cross is used to revive your health bar and God’s Shield will protect you from attack for five seconds. You can collect these bonuses as you play, they will pop up from time to time, or buy them in the town store. To buy items, you must have skulls. These are currency in the game. You can collect skulls the same way you collect bonuses or buy them with real money as an in-app purchase.

The skull collecting is where they get you in this game, you can collect them manually by playing the game. Skulls appear every 30 seconds of gameplay (I timed it). But, the least expensive thing you can buy costs 750 skulls. That means it will take you about 6.5 hours of non-stop playing to earn enough skulls to buy one item that you can’t even replenish.

As a free iPad-only game, Ghost Swiper HD is loads of fun. As time goes by, it becomes more and more difficult to destroy all of the ghouls. Overall, it is challenging and entertaining. However, I don’t think it is worth the additional money to buy skulls in the game. The only thing your dollar does is give you extra health and protection. The game itself doesn’t change.
