A man and a woman - both human, both with the monstrous ability to absorb the souls of the dead. Their power gives them choice. Choice to subjugate the weak or to protect them, choice to destroy or to create, choice to rule or serve.

Their choice was not the same.

Discover how they use this power with different intent through environmental storytelling, where more is revealed by interacting with the world around you.

Fighting the creatures that are trying to stop you on your journey is as challenging as it is rewarding. While it only takes a couple of hits to send you back to the last statue you rested at, one well-timed parry can lead into a devestating counter-attack that lets you chain your slashes onto nearby foes in a spectacular flurry.

Ruins, mausoleums, caves. Lifeless places. The world of Unsouled might seem dark and melancholic at first, but all the more overwhelming are the moments of silence and peace when the camera zooms out as you uncover one of the game's lookout points with a glorious panoramic view over its surpisingly lush environment.

Announced back in 2019 by PQube and scheduled for 2020, there seems to have been a change of publisher, now NEOWIZ, with a projected release in Q2 2021.

“As a fan of hardcore action games myself, Unsouled is the game that I’ve always dreamed of playing” said Jin Sub Jung, Head of Megusta Game. “I’m really looking forward to sharing it with everyone and hope they enjoy the stylish 2d action.”

A playable demo is also available.
