Souldiers Announced For Spring 2022
You’ve got soul, but are you a Souldier? Find out next year when publisher Dear Villagers and developer Retro Forge Games release Souldiers, a 16-bit styled adventure platformer with metroidvania exploration and challenging combat.
On the border between life and death sits the mystical realm of Terragaya. Choose between the classes of Scout, Caster or Archer and fight for your freedom, slashing gigantic monsters and solving tricky puzzles. As you explore, you’ll gather the materials and experience to upgrade your character, making them more powerful.
‘Retro Forge was born out of a love for all things classic and nostalgic,’ said Alberto Hernández, creative director at Retro Forge. ‘Souldiers is like our personal tribute to the games we all grew up with. I can’t wait for more people to see it!’ ‘Souldiers is shaping up to be a super special part of our catalogue,’ adds Guillaume Jamet, head of publishing at Dear Villagers. ‘It’s beautiful and engrossing. I feel very fortunate to be working with such talented folks.’
