Details

Overview

Ghost Villa is a fast-paced, vibrant round-based first-person shooter that blends tower defense and roguelike elements into a surprisingly cohesive whole. Developed and published by Claudio Norori, this Early Access title dropped on October 12, 2026, and it's already making waves among fans of genre mashups.

The core loop is simple: survive the nights, defend your home from being haunted, and keep building up your defenses. But the twist lies in the four rapidly changing seasons, each of which reshapes the battlefield and your strategy.

Highlights

Four Distinct Seasons: Each season brings its own power-ups (in the form of vegetables), new enemies, challenges, and map changes, keeping every round fresh.
Deck-Building Boons: At the start of each new season, you select a new boon card, effectively building your deck as you progress. This roguelike layer adds replayability and encourages experimentation.
Farm-Based Defense: You choose what to build in your farm and when to build it, balancing resource allocation between offense and defense.

Who It's For

If you enjoy fast-paced shooters but also appreciate the strategic depth of tower defense games, Ghost Villa offers a unique blend that rewards quick reflexes and thoughtful planning. The roguelike deck-building mechanic will appeal to players who like runs that feel different every time.

Since it's in Early Access, expect the foundation to evolve with community feedback—perfect for those who like being part of a game's development journey.
