![]() Throughout the levels, you gain experience points that will make you level up. It’s a nice thing to have, but I didn’t really use it all that much in my playthrough. The other currency is dollars which can be used to buy clothes for outside of the dungeons. These coins help you buy items and craft upgrades, pretty standard things. Just be careful! In the dungeons, you can gain collectable items that can be used to upgrade your character, along with gold coins that can be used as one of the two currencies in the game. The 4th dungeon is a heck of a lot different than the first 3, but I won’t spoil what it is. In each of the dungeons, there are different paths that you can go, but the game wants you to explore them all by hiding secrets at the ends of some paths, i.e. The game has 4 different dungeons that you travel to in order to find the end objective of the world, a Power Rune. Finding that balance throughout the game made the combat even more fun as I felt like I was playing an RPG at points. Personally, I had Tristan be a little heavier but have a higher attack power, while I had Jenn be lighter but with less attack power. The stronger the equipment, the more it will cost you. However, be mindful because each piece of armor, and weapon, you equip has a weight cost that makes your character slower on the battlefield. I picked the bow for Jenn, and the bomb for Tristan, but there are four others to choose from. You unlock different accessories throughout the game and you have to pick 1 for each character to use. You need to equip weapons, armor, and one accessory to each of the twin characters to gain Attack Power, HP, and Mana. This game plays as a beat-em-up level by level, but is more action RPG in my opinion, but it feels much more modern than most might. There are many aspects to the gameplay but one of them, and the most important, is combat. Basically, you combine an RPG and a beat-em-up brawler, and you get what Young Souls is. Okay, so I talked about the story, but the most important part of any game, in my opinion, is the gameplay. ![]() “What happens if the 1 person that cares about you is taken away?” The Professor. ![]() Basically to sum it up, I pose the following question: Now, I won’t go into spoilers, but the story is better than I originally thought it might be and more complex with the issues that it tackles. There is no voice acting throughout the entire game, which in all aspects would normally put me off, but it wasn’t that bad of an omission as you can hear the character through the lines and animation that they portray in the game. It might seem basic, and it somewhat is, but the story is still good. Your objective is to stop it from happening by taking out different individuals who are connected to the plan, while at the same time trying to get to the professor. Throughout the story, you learn that the underground race is planning to wage an attack on the surface. You meet a character who is named Baldwin who helps you on your journey to rescue him. The point of the story is to rescue the professor, your adopted parental guardian, after he has been captured by a subterranean race. Some of the biggest concepts that are intertwined in the story, is the feeling of worth and the your morality as a person. These teens are more mature than a lot of others in their age group and they understand some things that adults in real life don’t grasp. At first, the characters seemed really boring and basic to me, but as the story unwinds and you learn more about them, you realize that they are actually really deep characters. This is not true at all, and throughout the story they slowly understand that. These characters are described as juveniles who feel that nobody cares about them. They don’t feel like people care about them, and they don’t call the professor dad because he is not their biological father. In the game, you play as a brother and sister, named Jenn and Tristan, that are adopted by a professor who no longer teaches at the University. What do I think of the game? Well keep reading and you will find out. I played the game on the Nintendo Switch OLED so my review will be based on that version of the game. Young Souls released on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, Xbox, PC via Steam, and also is available on Xbox Game Pass at launch. Young Souls released on Thursday March 10th, and thanks to publisher The Arcade Crew, I got the chance to review the game. Well, ever since its launch last year on Stadia, I have been eyeing the game Young Souls. It is the case that some of the bigger Indie titles do get a good amount of press, but what about the indies that don’t get showcased at big events like Nintendo Directs or State of Plays. Tons of games come out every year, and typically the AAA titles from big time developers and publishers are often the star.
