Soul Reaper
Release: 2020
Soul Reaper is an RPG inspired by the themes that made old-school titles so great, while adding a few complimentary twists that revitalize the genre for modern day. Players take control of the Soul Reaper, Warden of The Vault, who is granted the unique ability to command the souls found in this post-mortem world.
By using the titular soul mechanics, players can reap souls to enlist their own personal army, devour them for XP, smith them into items, or even combine them with equipment. The versatility of this resource adds several layers of depth in the already compelling combat system, allowing players to allocate their souls as they see fit. With this, Soul Reaper offers a number of different strategies in how to progress throughout the story, enabling players to carve unique paths of their own as they journey toward one of several endings.
A Tale of Twists, Delight, and… Nuttercutters?
The day began like any other; out of sheer boredom, the Soul Reaper set out to bother the souls of the dead. After bringing along one of his assistants to help prank a clueless Nuttercutter, the duo catches word of an unknown entity looming within the outskirts of Elysium. The Soul Reaper discovers one of the Midnight Council, and learns the hard way that their forces can manipulate the actions of wandering souls just as well. Suffering a harrowing defeat, the Soul Reaper awakens to find his soul split off into several fragments. Each piece has taken a form of his psyche, with most of them already hitting on the new Merchant in town. It's up to the player to defeat the “impostors”, and reconnect what makes the Soul Reaper whole.
Key Features
80+ Creatures to Reap and Collect. Encounter unique and expressive monsters throughout The Vault. Arrange your creatures in up to nine squads, or slot them into loot pieces for extra bonuses. Have a few souls you don’t want? Smith them into items, or devour them for quick XP!
Explore Vast Landscapes for Treasure. The Vault is comprised of three layers: Volcanheim, Elysium, and Polarus. Each component presents a drastically different climate, with treasure chests scattered throughout their landscapes.
Addictive Turn-Based Combat With Deep Strategy. Exploit type advantages, unit arrangement, and more to turn the tide in your favor. Slot souls into the Soul Reaper’s equipment to unlock more attacks, and command your squads to victory.
Fight at Your Own Pace. Accelerate the game’s battle speed up to x3, or outmaneuver enemies on the overworld to avoid combat entirely.
Different Fragments, Different Outcomes. The Soul Reaper’s behavior changes based on which fragment the player selects. Interactions with NPCs are influenced by the shift in ego, and the story will unfold differently depending on how many fragments the player has acquired.
Fearsome Bosses With Exciting Powers. Besting the boss monsters in combat will grant unique abilities in return. Smash rocky terrain with the Balboa, and extinguish flaming geysers with the Elephount! Return to former areas to explore new paths, and overcome obstacles previously blocking your way.
Blood-Pumping Soundtrack. Tracks are crafted to fit the style of each region, and the boss theme presents a climactic overhaul of the already adrenaline-fueled battle music.
