Evaluation

Unsouled launched into Early Access on November 17, 2021 and graduated to its full 1.0 release on April 27–28, 2022. The 1.0 launch included new content — the Advanced Abyss mode and the Mirror Dimension challenge mode — that had been prepared specifically for release. Before launch, the developer had announced plans for a Roguelite mode and additional boss content to be delivered post-release (mentioned in the February 2022 developer letter and the April 2022 release announcement). However, there has been no developer communication of any kind since the 1.0 launch post on April 27, 2022 — now more than four years ago. No patch notes, no roadmap update, no DLC announcements, and no developer blog posts have appeared since that date. The two DLC items in the store (soundtrack and digital artbook) were both released in November 2021 and are fully available. There are no unreleased DLC entries. While the developer mentioned a "post-release roadmap" at the end of the 1.0 launch post, that roadmap was never published. The promised Roguelite mode and additional bosses were never announced as shipped, and the developer went entirely silent immediately after launch. Given that over four years have passed with zero communication, it is clear that no further content was delivered. The game shipped as its final form at 1.0 on April 28, 2022.

About this game



- Fast-paced, stylish combat
Enemies in Unsouled react to every move you make. Keep your guard up at all times as the slightest mistake will be met with relentless enemy attacks.


- Expert controls and timing
Execute various skill combos and counterattacks for maximum damage. Use the “Abyss” system to get a closer look at the game’s unique mechanics. Players may be tempted to turn down the difficulty settings, but mastering true combat requires practice.


- Chained attacks
Each skill combo in Unsouled have their own unique triggers. Whenever using a skill, your character flashes for a brief second. Use this opportunity to turn your initial strike into a deadly series of blows by performing one skill after another. Learning each skill’s wind-down pattern is crucial to mastering chain attacks.


- Counterattacks
Combos aren’t the only tool under your belt. The counterattack mechanics stay true to the high-risk, high-reward principle, allowing you to decimate multiple targets in one seamless attack when done correctly. Mastering the chain-counterattacks is key to turning the tide on your assailants.


- Interactive objects
Slamming an enemy against a wall, pushing them off the ledge, cutting a tree down to crush them, or even bringing down a large object to create a makeshift bridge are but a few of many ways to overcome various obstacles and threats in the game.


- Passive and Active Souls
You may come across special Souls as you fight and explore. Passive Souls take effect immediately after being obtained, enhancing abilities, unlocking new skills, or upgrading existing ones. Active Souls are manually activated through button interaction which can unlock skills normally reserved for bosses, and are used for combos as well as escaping from enemies.


- Beautiful pixel art
"Travel across five distinct locations each filled with unique retro style visuals with enemies that are spooky and fun.
Each individual pixel is affected by real-time lighting, meaning, you can enjoy the rich, vibrant pixel graphics in all its glory!"
