Ghostrunner Expansion Pack
Release Date: March 3, 2022
An expansion to the warmly welcomed 2020 FPP action game. In Ghostrunner: Project_Hel we take on the role of the titular Hel and explore the Dharma Tower, completing a bloody mission. The add-on offers 6 new levels. A new feature here is also the ability to survive one attack.
Project_Hel is an add-on to the action game Ghostrunner, released in 2020. The add-on was developed by the authors of the original, the Polish studio One More Level. Interestingly, it was originally created as a much smaller DLC, but eventually grew to the size of a large expansion.
In Ghostrunner: Project_Hel we play as the title Hel, who in the basic version of the game acted as a boss. The protagonist has to complete a bloody mission in the Dharma Tower, which is well-known to fans of the original game.
Similarly to the original, in Ghostrunner: Project_Hel the action was shown from a first-person perspective (FPP). The gameplay basically does not differ too much from what we are used to from Ghostrunner, so we dash through locations and eliminate enemies with a katana, performing lightning-fast dodges and impressive stunts. The expansion introduces a handful of new features, the biggest of which is the ability to survive one attack; only after the second attack Hel will be killed. In the expansion six new levels are waiting for completion. In addition, new bosses stand in our way, and previously unavailable skills are waiting to be gained.
Ghostrunner: Project_Hel does not introduce changes in the graphical layer. However, we will hear six new tracks in the add-on, which were composed by Daniel Deluxe.

Game Ratings for Ghostrunner: Project_Hel Video Game.
Screen Rant: 4 / 5 by Jacob Zeranko
Unfortunately, the boss fights feel a bit tame, save for the final moments of the final fight. Overall, they are repetitive and surprisingly slow at times - an issue made more apparent thanks to the aggressive synthwave soundtrack being pushed into the background instead of into the player's face. Despite these few fights, the real obstacle of Ghostrunner: Project_Hel is getting used to the new movement and combat mechanics. The speed and brutality is still there and anyone who enjoys the base game will feel right at home in this DLC.
Gamepur: 6 / 10 by Grace Benfell
Without the ebb and flow of truly great level design, Ghostrunner’s hallways and arenas can blur together into a neon mess. This is especially true in Project_Hel, which largely takes place in the same district in the tower. With that in mind, it’s best to play with the base game firmly in the realm of memory.
But Why Tho?: 8 / 10 by Mick Abrahamson
Ghostrunner Project Hel is a fun DLC that is simply more Ghostrunner. It scratches that itch while we wait for its sequel, but it just didn’t feel like enough. There are some aggravating issues and lackluster bosses, but the excuse to play more content may be enough to get some back into this game. Just, be ready for an experience that doesn’t quite live up to the original’s vision.
