Ghost Blade is a 2015 vertically scrolling shooter video game developed and originally published by German studio HUCAST Games as an independent commercial release for the Dreamcast. It was re-released between 2017 and 2018 by JoshProd. A high-definition version titled Ghost Blade HD was also released for PlayStation 4, Wii U, Xbox One, PC, and Nintendo Switch. Controlling one of three fighter crafts, the player fights to protect Mars against the corrupt artificial intelligence Shira. Its gameplay consist of five stages, with players gathering collectible items and defeating enemies to build combos and maintain a high-score, while avoiding collision with their projectiles and obstacles.
Ghost Blade was created in conjunction with Neo XYX (2013) and Redux: Dark Matters (2014) by a separate team at HUCAST that branched off to work on the project. It was produced by Tulio Gonçalves, one of the creators of Pier Solar and the Great Architects (2010), with NG:Dev.Team co-founder and HUCAST founder René Hellwig serving as game designer. The soundtrack was composed by Rafael Dyll, who had collaborated on other NG:Dev.Team projects. The game is heavily inspired by the Star Soldier series, while its art design was inspired by Halo 4 (2012). The original Dreamcast release was met with average reception from critics, while the PS4 and Xbox One version garnered mixed or average reviews.
