The Story

The story revolves around two brothers, “Jean” and “Tristan,” who live with their adoptive father, “the Professor,” in a small, quiet town. The brothers wonder what occupies the professor during his day at work in his office, and one day they discover the mystery when they find the door of the house destroyed, without any trace of the professor. Here they discover the portal that leads them to the underground world where a group of goblins live. The story justifies the events and nothing more, and although it tries to be surprisingly deep and mature, it fails because there is a lot of swearing in the dialogue and some childish comments, and the story is not the one that is looking for that. kind of games.

Visuals and Audio

The game offers us a beautiful cartoon drawing with a choice of matte and dark colors that suit this particular artistic direction. On the audio level, the game does not offer any voice acting for the characters and is content with texts. There is also a group of tunes that play in the background and serve their purpose, but which you generally don’t pay attention to while you’re busy. With confrontations.

Gameplay

The gameplay is very simple. There is a button to attack, another to perform special attacks, a button to jump and dodge, and finally a defense button. The game is one of the few platform fighting games that rely on weapons. There are different types of weapons that suit different play styles. There are heavy weapons that are less fast and do a lot of damage. But in exchange for greater risk there are the usual weapons like swords, hammers or even very fast daggers, but they deal less damage in exchange for greater maneuverability and movement ability. You can still press the attack button to speed up your attack, and you can also press the defense button at an appropriate time before receiving the opponent’s blow mechanically. It is a very important game as it fills your weapon’s attack meter and allows you to attack the opponent for a longer period of time. It is necessary to master it because some enemies are difficult or impossible to defeat without mastering it.

Boss Encounters and Content

The game’s boss encounters vary by level, which is one of its most notable flaws. There are many exciting and exciting encounters, but they are offset by many ordinary encounters that become boring when you encounter the same type of boss multiple times with a larger health bar or with them dealing additional damage such as electrocution or burning, and it was… The game needs more work in this area. As we already mentioned, the gaming experience is pleasant, but we wanted to add even more depth, which would have made the fights more fun and exciting.

Additional Features

The content of the game is very good considering the games of this type. In addition to the main sections, there are many sub-sections that you need to find different keys to reach. You will also be rewarded for finding the keys in a group of treasures scattered throughout the various stages that can be opened with these keys, and they contain many.

We completed the game 100% within 13 hours. This required returning to previous stages to unlock treasures, completing side missions, and ensuring many weapons were developed. It can be said that completing the game without paying attention to these details can take between 9 and 10 hours. Young Souls offers an entertaining experience.
