![]() Mind you, they’re not terrible, but waiting a few seconds every time you move from area to area or while exploring the city was a bit distracting. I played this PlayStation 4 release on my PlayStation 5, and I was slightly surprised by the loading times on Sony’s current-gen console. You even have a scooter to use, and the riding animation is solid! The enemies are varied and also feature a solid design. The cutscenes you’ll experience are amazing, and their art direction is, once again, flawless. The game’s color palette also follows the twin’s color scheme – pink and purple – which makes for some interesting design choices along the way. The art style is outstanding, and the background art and the environments you’ll visit are very detailed. Graphically speaking, this is – by FAR – the most gorgeous indie game I’ve played in a good while. A neat touch I realized is that there are two types of currency in Young Souls: the normal one you can use to buy clothes in the stores, and actual gold, which will allow you to buy and improve your fighting gear. Once they are freed, they’ll join goblin street, which is a hub where you can purchase equipment, supplies, and enhance your gear. ![]() To level up, you need to go to sleep in your house, which is very close to how muscles are built in real-life, which was a nice touch.Īs you progress through the dungeon level, you’ll free some good goblins that were captured by the evil goblin Lord. ![]() Since this one includes RPG elements, as you progress, you’ll gain experience points. Each piece of equipment is unique and will be shown over your avatar, which is really great to look at. There are also stores where you can purchase gear from. You can visit the Mayor after each section of the dungeon has been completed. Outside of the dungeons, you’ll move to your house and into the city, where there are different people to chat with. The downside to this is that the action won’t stop and wait for you, so you’ll have to be quick! A nice touch that I noticed during harder boss battles is that you can change equipment during a fight. Once bosses are beaten, you’ll always be rewarded with gold and new unique gear for your team. You should be ready to see them become more and more aggressive as you deplete their hit points. Stronger bosses also have multiple stacked health bars. The main story bosses have a lot of character development throughout the story, and they’ll all talk to you before attacking instead of just being there waiting for you. In the dungeons, there are also a lot of bosses to fight, and I do mean a LOT.

Exploration itself is rewarded as you’ll get to find many treasure areas that will give you more gold as well as rare items. On the gameplay side, you’re looking at a beat ’em up where you’ll use an arsenal composed of swords and different items that gradually get better as you progress through the game and unlock more options. There’s even a neat mechanic where when one character is struck by a status ailment, you can switch them to use the other character to attack instantly, which was definitively a great option during some of the harder boss battles I had to take on during my journey. When playing solo, you will control both Tristan and Jenn, and you can switch between them instantly by pressing the R1 button. ![]() This game can be played on your own or in local multiplayer. What I thought would end up being a generic beat ’em up surprised me with a rich and well-written story, as well as solid gameplay mechanics that hooked me from the start.
