Steam Greenlight: Ghosts 'n Goblins Online

Ghosts 'n Goblins Online has been around for a while and has been talked about in the game community and then it was canceled.  Apparently it's been canceled twice already.  Well it's back again with a chance to release stateside through the help of Steam Greenlight.  With news of this, every major media is spreading the word and hopefully getting people to upvote it on Steam Greenlight.  The main concern for a lot of GnG fans is that the game looks too easy.  Looking at the gameplay, I'd say that it's because it's a completely different gameplay mechanic from what most people know about the GnG series.  The game is still a 2D Action-Platformer, but rather than a straight up Action game where you move forward, die in two hits, and have limited amounts of way to attack, there are a lot of RPG elements such as an open world to explore, stats to improve, lots of skills to attain, etc.  You could say that it's Maple Story in a GnG universe.  There seems to be different classes with an array of skills to learn, the ability to play cooperatively with other players, raise stats and attributes to improve survivability, damage, and ability power, and play in competitive PvP arenas.  There seems to be a mode called "demonic dimension" where you die in two hits (classic GnG style life system: Armor->Underwear->Dead).  There's a trailer showing some of the gameplay:

With this, yes the game will be easier to accommodate an online gaming experience as well as a more general audience.  Still the game looks to be very interesting and is one I'm willing to play.  A lot of people are also hoping that the attention and success of this game might bring about the resurrection of Megaman Online and bringing it over here.  I'd be very happy about that.
