Evaluation

Bait Soul launched on September 22, 2026 after three years of development. In the launch announcement on September 23, 2026, developer Bold Fish explicitly stated: "But launch doesn't mean development is over. There are still many things we want to add to Bait Soul, including new mechanics, build combinations, hidden content, and more. After launch, we'll continue fixing issues, making adjustments, and adding new content based on your feedback." True to that commitment, Bold Fish has shipped a rapid sequence of post-launch updates: v1.0.1 on September 24, v1.0.2 and a save-data hotfix on September 25, v1.0.4 on September 26, and v1.0.5 on September 27 — five updates in just five days. The September 27 post also notes that more bug fixes are coming "in tomorrow's update," confirming that active development is continuing as of that date. The developer's own launch statement is a clear and direct commitment to future content additions beyond bug fixes, naming specific categories of planned content. The game is currently very new, having launched just six days before today's date.

About this game

A build-driven action roguelite inspired by the forbidden path of cultivation.

Play as a "Bait Soul" struggling to break a tragic destiny, using every resource to carve a path of survival through a dungeon fraught with danger.

An innovative "Soul Orb + Support Item" loadout system.

Each weapon slot (Soul Orb) has unique attributes, and Support Items grant chain buffs to adjacent weapons.

Will you pursue extreme damage output or build an impenetrable defense? Flexibly adjust the layout of Weapons, Soul Orbs, and Support Items to crush powerful enemies with strategy.

Reject tedious controls and focus purely on movement and strategy.

Your character automatically attacks locked enemies. You only need to focus on Blinking to dodge lethal attacks and Sprinting to reposition. With an extremely low learning curve and fluid action experience, you can control the battlefield with just one hand.

Hundreds of functionally diverse Relics are scattered deep within the dungeon.

They are not just stat sticks; they can fundamentally change your combat mechanics. Every pickup can lead to a qualitative leap, making every adventure a unique loot-hunting experience.

Combat is not everything.

In this ever-changing underground palace, various mysterious events and secret rooms are hidden. Mysterious merchants, ancient altars, unknown gambles... Every corner hides opportunity or crisis, waiting for you to discover.
