Outside of the fisticuffs, Young Souls provides a world that perhaps can do with a fresh coat of paint every once in a while. Handing players such freedom within an excellent combat system is definitely a pleasant surprise.

Having a tank to deal with mobs is great, but so is having someone who can come in with the high damage to deal the killing blow. As weapons and armour function differently based on weight and type, you can essentially create classes for either of the heroes. To even the odds against overwhelming numbers, both Jenn and Tristan can be outfitted in different ways to change up their playstyles. These foes are smart enough to block, evade, and even parry just like the player, and with several types of goblins to contend with, like sword-wielding and spearmen variants, you must always assess the situation before diving straight in. However, that is not to say that the goblins are just going to roll over and surrender, with the enemy providing a level of challenge that dissuades players from button mashing. Each sibling has their own life bar and revives as well, so you are not exactly stuck even with one person down. The tag team system within the game allows for quick swaps between the siblings, which still allows you to pull off that satisfying combo moves as you move around the battlefield. Dividing the goblins’ attention is always a good idea, and even if one player is not as good as the other, playing together is a good way to learn and master the combat system in the game.įor those playing solo, the utility of having a partner is not lost as well. With a partner in tow, you can transition seamlessly from combo to combo, ensuring that the enemy has no room to breathe.

What makes Young Souls even better is the inclusion of co-op play, albeit limited to local co-op.
