Souldiers

Souldiers is a metroidvania action platform game. It was developed by Retro Forge studio and was published by Dear Villagers.

Plot

Souldiers takes us on a journey to a fantastic world. During the game we take on the role of a hero who in the middle of a fight for his kingdom is transferred to a mysterious land called Terragaya, located between the worlds of the living and the dead. To get out of here we have to make a long journey full of dangers.

Mechanics

Souldiers is a side-scroller. While exploring Terragaya, we discover more secrets of this land, solve environmental puzzles, jump on platforms and avoid various traps, as well as face hordes of enemies. As befits a metroidvania, levels are full of alternate paths, and many places require you to meet certain conditions to get to.

Fighting enemies is one of the main elements of the game. How the dynamic skirmishes look like largely depends on which character class you decide on before you start. While the scout equipped with a shield and sword excels in close combat, the wizard uses combat magic, and the archer eliminates enemies from a distance. Regardless of which profession we decide on, during battles we have to show dexterity and reflexes. In addition to regular adversaries, powerful bosses stand in our way. As we progress, we improve the protagonist's skills and gain new attacks, as well as unlock better and better equipment.

Technical aspects

Souldiers features colorful, pixel art graphics in an eye-catching style straight from the 16-bit era. We especially like the detailed and varied locations, as well as the richly animated attacks.
