About Ghoul Racer
I first heard about Ghoul Racer from a buddy who insisted I try it out one gloomy evening. It’s this quirky kart-style racer where your ride is as important as the spooky driver behind the wheel. You pick from a roster of undead speed demons—think skeletal cowgirls, wailing banshees, even a reanimated clown on roller skates—each with its own cartoonishly creepy personality. The whole vibe is equal parts campy and competitive, whether you’re chasing a slipstream boost or hurling ghostly grenades at the pack.
Tracks in Ghoul Racer are a blast because they blend the usual hairpin turns with horror-house flair. You’ll drift through fog-shrouded graveyards, barrel down rickety wooden bridges in cursed forests, and dodge falling coffins in an old Victorian crypt. Power-ups range from spectral shields that shimmer like moonlight to cursed candies that slow your rivals to a crawl. And if you’re playing split-screen with friends, you’ll be howling at each other’s mishaps—nothing bonds you faster than getting blasted off a cliff by a bomb-laden jack-o’-lantern.
Beyond the thrills, there’s a surprising depth in the progression system. Win races and you earn ectoplasm to upgrade your kart’s speed, handling, or those over-the-top special attacks. The single-player tour is short enough to stay breezy but packed with unlockables that make you want to dive back in. In a sea of hyper-realistic racers, Ghoul Racer stands out by not taking itself seriously, and that’s exactly why it’s so much fun when you need a break from the usual.
