Ghost Lion — About this game
Ghost Lion, titled Legend of the Ghost Lion on screen, follows Maria's quest to find her missing parents and uncover the white lion's mystery. Travel through caves and settlements, using clues and special objects to open routes. Hope is her level, Courage her health, and Dreams her summoning resource. Instead of gaining battle experience, find fragments of hope to strengthen Maria and her companions. Turn-based encounters let her use tools or call spirits with distinct attacks, defense, and magic. Fairy springs restore resources and save progress, so exploration and sensible retreat matter more than grinding enemies.
