Each class has its own unique attacks along with different agility, attack, defense, and health stats. Your character can further be customized through branches of unlockable skill trees, offering a huge degree of freedom as you venture through Souldier’s fantastical realm. Outwit cunning enemies, solve nefarious puzzles, upgrade your character, and explore every corner of a dazzling, intricate 16-bit world. Souldiers is a handcrafted retro epic for the ages.

“Souldiers represents the fruits of our labour across several years as we assembled our dream game that mixes old and new sensibilities,” said Alberto Hernández, creative director at Retro Forge. “Souldiers’ 16-bit inspired aesthetic may recall SNES classics, but its approach to customizing your character and choosing between classes gives it depth and replayability above the 90s fare that inspired us. It’s a very emotional day for us to finally share the culmination of all our hard work with you all today.”

Souldiers is out now on Xbox, and PlayStation, Nintendo Switch and PC (Steam, GOG, and Epic).
