Soulstice from Reply Game Studios is the latest game to be published by Modus Games. A new video gives fans a first look at the combat system in this hack and slash adventure.
At a first glance, viewers might expect a more subdued combat experience because of the game’s dark and gritty tone. However now that we can see our heroine Briar in action, it’s anything but subdued.
Combat is high-flying combo-chaining action more reminiscent of Devil May Cry than Dark Souls. You can find the first look video of combat in Soulstice here.
The balance of the Holy Kingdom of Keidas is compromised when powerful, feral creatures known as “Wraiths” invade from the other side of the Veil, threatening to consume the living. Wraiths corrupt their victims and can even possess their bodies, turning into unstoppable monsters that prey upon the common folk. The “Chimeras”, hybrid warriors born of the union of two souls, are the only ones who can protect humankind.
Briar and Lute are two sisters who have been reborn as a Chimera. The transformation has granted Briar superhuman strength and resilience, while Lute, who was sacrificed in order to bind her soul to her sister’s, has become a ghost with mystical powers. Voiced by Stefanie Joosten (Metal Gear Solid 5), Briar and Lute are sent on a mission to reclaim a city in ruins that has been ravaged by the Wraiths, only to discover that the Order they belong to has a far more complex plan in mind.
Explore a dark world brimming with hidden mysteries, master a diverse combat system, and inhabit the dual forces of two sisters in a coming-of-age fantasy story with fast-paced action, vicious enemies and breathtaking boss fights.

We can also see players further chain their combos by using Lute, whose soul is bound to Briar and will perform some attacks automatically.
Soulstice is coming to Windows PC, Xbox Series X/S, and PS5.
