Combat feels great from the get-go though as the controls are excellent and responsive and your moveset only branches out over time, giving you more to play and battle with as the campaign goes on. You’ll gradually unlock new weapons and abilities though, which you’ll need against some of the stronger adversaries in the game – requiring some serious skill and even battle tactics at times. Armed with a sword and shield, you start ploughing your way through enemies in what starts out as a fairly standard button masher. Once the story segues into gameplay, you quickly realize that brawling is a large part of your quest to see the professor again. When he goes missing they suddenly realize how dear he is to them though, and this sets off their mission in the game – to go out and save him from a parallel world in which goblins and other fantasy creatures stand in your way. They have some pent up anger, don’t like school and don’t like to take advice – even from the kind professor who’s taken them in. In Young Souls, our protagonists are Jenn and Tristan, teenagers who live with a professor and are considered outcasts. We played the PlayStation version, but the game is also out on Steam, Xbox and the Switch.
Now it’s getting a much-deserved wide release, as this blend of traditional Streets of Rage/Double Dragon-style brawling and narrative-driven RPG is a title well worth playing. Young Souls, from 1P2P and publisher The Arcade Crew, is one of those titles many gamers initially missed out on because it was only released on Stadia.
