The upgrades for them also felt meaningful, which is always nice.ĭ: Let’s dig more into the combat, since that’s really the main gameplay loop. They were impactful enough to be worth using and relying on. It added variety to the combat that was sorely lacking otherwise. S:Yeah, you could run around and use your bow and gadgets, but that playstyle isn’t exactly fun.ĭ: Let’s talk about the gadgets though – I thought they were neat, and I liked the way they had a cooldown so you couldn’t exactly abuse them. I guess you could theoretically kill them without parrying, but it would take you a long time. The parrying is super forced – if you don’t parry, you’re going to have a bad time basically.ĭ: I agree, I thought a lot of the mini-boss fights ended up feeling kind of repetitive – not just because many were reskins, but because you had to parry to remove their resistance and do any meaningful damage to them. Even in the moments where you felt like you were doing a good job, it didn’t feel super satisfying.
The way the combat flows, the difficulty it was either way too hard or too easy. But the combat was the issue in the game for me. The story is – I guess it was OK, there was some nuance with “maybe killing goblins is actually bad” – the humans were morally grey, instead of just being the good guys. Spannah: So, the art style is cool, great really. We talked about Young Souls for quite a while after we finished it what follows is a transcript - edited for readability and to remove the uhhs and most of the bad jokes - of that conversation.ĭanielD: Let’s start with overall impressions, now that we’ve beaten the game. Since we played the game together, it only made sense to also review the game together. The game encourages co-op - and I don’t have a twin - so I had my fellow EIP writer Spannah play with me. The game features two twins leveling up and collecting cool new armor, weapons, and sneakers as they attempt to rescue their adoptive father and save their town.
Today’s impressively long list of adjectives comes courtesy of Young Souls, a co-op side-scrolling beat-em-up dungeon-crawler RPG developed by 1P2P and published by The Arcade Crew. It seems like every new game that comes out requires more hyphenated descriptors than the last one.
