Today, we’ll divulge all of the various characters available to play as so that you know exactly what you’re looking for once you get started!
All Playable Characters in Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed
As far as characters go, there are actually quite a few that players are allowed to try their hand at. Though, it’s important to distinguish what it all means.
Ghostbusters
When talking about Ghostbusters, you will not be playing as any legacy characters, instead creating your very own character. You’ll get to choose just about every aspect of your character, changing their voice, face, body shape and skin tone, clothes, and even upgrading and maintaining your Ghostbusting gear.
You can unlock new clothing items and gear by playing the game, leveling up, completing jobs, and completing contracts. It’s a pretty fulfilling experience for those who have loved the series since they were young.
In order to customize your character, you can change their cosmetics via the dressing booths in the main hub area, and their gear in Ed’s office upstairs.
