Flawless Gaming's "Meta-Ghost: Prologue" Launches on Steam with some Exciting Updates

Flawless Gaming :

Independent publisher Flawless Gaming's Looter game, "Meta-Ghost: Prologue," officially debuted in February 28th.
 
The free prologue version includes all the single-player content from the original demo and introduces new elements such as prosthetic weaponizing and online co-op mode. In addition to providing gameplay for remote co-op with friends, it brings a complete Looter experience. Furthermore, the official statement mentions that the saves in the prologue can be carried over to the subsequent full version.
 
Features and Adjustments in the Rogue-lite System
 
As a game centered around Looter mechanics, "Meta-Ghost: Prologue" focuses on the core in-game rogue-lite element called "Driver." Building on the driver, players collect individual drivers throughout levels, combining them to create fusion drivers that offer different stacking effects. The prologue, compared to the demo version, removes the original assistant drivers and introduces a new driver manufacturer that emphasizes shadow clones gameplay: "Mirage Media." Players can summon shadow clones to assist them in dealing damage.
 
For example, the holographic projection effect triggers a "clone" lasting 8 seconds upon killing an enemy. This clone inherits a certain percentage of the player's attack power and can attack alongside the player. Additionally, with the introduction of a new driver manufacturer, the variety of fusion drivers that can be combined between different driver manufacturers has significantly increased. As a genre focused on physical damage, Mirage Media may become a favorite for many players in the future.

Relics are divided into four levels, with effects including but not limited to attribute bonuses, survival capabilities, synergies with drivers, and direct acquisition of in-game currency. Level 1-3 relics can be randomly obtained in relic rooms, but level 4 relics can only be obtained under special conditions, such as defeating a map boss every 10 rooms or special events in fate rooms. In the prologue, the developers added a total of over 30 new relics, providing more buffs and incentives for players who enjoy challenges like no damage runs and speed runs.

Additionally, the prologue features a complete external development system, including operating systems, weapon customization, and prosthetic weaponizing. The operating system is a shared skill tree for all participants, unlocking and upgrading tree entries provides numerical growth, such as attack power, maximum health, and special functions like resurrection counts or increasing the refresh times of driver/shop choices.

Each character has only one weapon, but it can be modified to change the basic combat style and various skills.

In the prologue version, prosthetic weaponizing have been added as a new feature. Cybernetics can enhance a character's abilities, having random secondary attributes and effects, similar to equipment systems in other games.

New maps
 
The in-game scenes have been updated with an entirely new factory scene, introducing interactive elements such as saw blades.

Online-Co Mode
 
Team matches are special stages organized by the character "M.O.T.H.E.R" in the game, supporting up to 3 participants to team up. It is a PvE tower-climbing challenge, and players can experience the fun of co-op with teammates by matching online or using private room numbers. The team mode will also have multiple maps and interactive elements, with the option to choose stage rewards. However, compared to the single-player mode, the early stages of the co-op mode will not trigger arena obstacles.

Global Ranking and Suits
 
The game features single-player and two-player global speedrun leaderboards, allowing players to compete in tower climbing with players worldwide and view other players' setups. Additionally, a skin system has been added, providing a better visually experience.

"Meta-Ghost: Prologue" is now available on Steam! It is also reported that the early access version of the full game will be released in mid-2024. Adding "Meta-Ghost: The breaking show" to your wishlist will provide more information on the release date and discounts.
