  • Review Spirit Hunters Inc. Shadow/Light (DSiWare)

About The Game

Spirit Hunters Inc: Shadow and Spirit Hunters Inc: Light are augmented reality games in which the player works for Spirit Hunters Inc, a mysterious company which specialises in the detection, capture and trade of ghostly spirits.

Players will utilise abilities from six elements to battle these spirits: Fire, Water, Ice, Shadow, Light and Fungus. Each element will come with their own strengths and weaknesses.

Players can also create unique challenges for each other and trade them via local ad-hoc communications, Facebook™ or email. These challenges will allow friends to offer rare spirits to each other, although the spirit will have to be defeated before a player can create the challenge.
