This game is currently in the Humble Choice for March 2024, and this is part of my coverage of the bundle. If you are interested in the game and it's before April 2nd, 2024, consider picking up the game as part of the current monthly bundle.
Bayonetta while missing the charm.
Soulstice is designed as an action game. There are long levels separated into arenas. There’s a scoring system designed for replayability and a ton of mechanics that need to be tried and mastered. While playing Soulstice there were a lot of games that came to mind. Metal Gear Revengeance, God of War, Devil May Cry, Bayonetta, and even Darksiders. And Soulstice feels like it’s standing on the shoulders of greatness with its combat system.
However Soulstice is missing something important compared to all those games, it’s not one simple thing, but more a style, a presentation, a defining animation, or a character personality that works here. Solstice just feels like it’s lacking an important part of the DNA of this genre, and it’s noticeable.
Pick this up if you like the action-adventure hack and slash, like Devil May Cry, but understand this is a B-tier effort. There are also a lot of different mechanics at play here, perhaps too many but also it allows players to get engrossed in the combat system.
