New kingdoms of adventure await with the Thailand release of the hit game Ghost Online.

The side-scrolling action game takes place in a world turned upside down. The souls of the wicked have filled the underworld to overflowing, and the beleaguered inhabitants of the land of the living must take up arms to defend themselves against the marauding hoards of ghouls and spirits.

Players begin the game as peasants, earning experience and gold by absorbing the souls of their vanquished foes. Once characters progress far enough through the game, they are able to develop

their skills in one of three other character classes.

ONWARD TO GREATNESS

Assassins use rapid claw and missile attacks to bring down their enemies. These lethal killers are masters of stealth and sneak attacks and the best at dispatching attackers quickly.

Warriors are the loyal protectors of the human realm. Physically powerful and possessing a strong sense of justice, these fighters are the backbone of any defense or attack strategy. Swords and sabres are the warrior�s weapons of choice.

With mysterious powers and equally enigmatic personalities, magicians are the mystical defenders of the human world. Using staff and fan weapons, these conjurers summon spells to attack enemies, defend party members and increase their own strength and experience.

LEVELS OF ADVENTURE

As players progress through new levels of adventure, they gain abilities by destroying enemy attackers and absorbing the energy of their souls. Soul energy helps characters develop skills and abilities.

Loot dropped by vanquished foes can also be exchanged in the GO shop to buy new weapons, armour and spells. Developing characters well is key to success in the game.

Because online games usually involve competing and chatting with people from all over the place, gamers need to remember to take their online safety seriously. Never give out personal information to anybody that you meet on the Internet.
