you are a sword, you can fly and you have to beat everything fast paced action, after beating a boss you can use his move to put it simply : indie chinese soul like Action RPG update: before the last boss in the second chapter there is a slighty hidden bloody palace at the bottom where you can fight to your heart content the last boss is also interesting and show promise for the future of this game

Interesting game.. fun game mechanics.. HOWEVER.. I can't read Chinese .. the UI + the items descriptions need translation. Edit: For non Chinese speakers, I don't recommend purchasing this game unless you see an English translation patch for the game.

A game that deserve more follow. The main problem is the language. I made a basic guide just to familiarize with the game, check it in the guide section.

This isn't just one of the best souls-like games I've ever played, it's one of the *best* games I've ever played, ever. UPDATE: there is now English support for the menu and some items! A quick guide to playing Souls of Blades: 1) You get a sack as your first item in the game. It lets you use your items (heal, use magic items, equip passive items, and so on). You have to press (X) on an XBOX 360 controller or 'square' on a PS3 controller on the sack (press start to pull it up). Then, press the same button on an item (X) or 'square' and equip it in one of the slots. Once it's equipped, press LB/L1 to use 1 of it or RB/R1 to use 5 of whatever item is equipped. Some magic items have different uses depending on whether you press one button or the other so try both, Blue paper heals you and gold paper throws a (shuriken?) weapon. This is extremely useful, so keep as many as you can. 2) When you kill a boss, it gives you its soul. Once you consume the soul you'll gain its power. To do this, press start to access your inventory, press A (XBOX) or X (PS4) on the sack and then press the same button on the soul to consume it. Then, press LT or L2 to change forms and gain all the powers of that boss. Once you've collected multiple souls, go to the hub area (just press A (xbox) or X (ps4) on the blue crystals (these are like bonfires) and you'll teleport to a huge hub). To the right of the hub is a sword. Go to it and you can cycle through boss souls to equip since you can only have one at a time. Just press on the one you want to equip it. 3) There are lots of combos in the game. On the main/blue soul, press X (xbox) or square (ps4) twice and then Y (xbox) or triangle (ps4) once to do an upward attack. Once the enemy flies into the air, jump up and attack it as many times as possible. You can stun-lock many enemies this way and kill them before they even land a hit on you. 4) This is a list of the items and what they do: -electric (paddle?): Press RB/R1 to create an orb that does passive damage to the enemy and also stuns the enemy if they're touching the orb. If you get behind an enemy and press Y or triangle on it then you can take out a large portion of its health. Then, by pressing RB/R1 with this item equipped, it will be stunned for a moment and you can deal massive damage. This has a certain number of uses you can do. DON'T WORRY - you can refill it by resting at the blue crystals. -Blue paper: heals you -Yellow paper: shuriken/throwing item -Green paper: restores magic -Flute: needed to finish the game (doesn't do anything else that I know of) -Flag: lets you move platforms. Equip it, aim at a platform, and then press RB/R1 to move it. -Metal mask: equip it and some platforms will appear in certain areas (can't be moved by flag as unequipping the mask makes the platform disappear) -Sword: gives you an extra two sword attacks. Must be in blue soul form to use. -Bells: do some ranged damage, takes magic to use -Gourd-thing: basically an Estus flask; lets you heal if you press either R1/RB or L1/LB. One is immediate and the other is passive healing. -Brown/red token with tassels: used to open locked drawers -Shards: sharpens weak weapons? (not sure) -Broken javelins: arguably the best weapons in the game. Must be repaired by unlocking a secret area where a blacksmith/merchant can be found. Once repaired, these javelins can be equipped when in the yellow soul form. The quick attack is good and has great range but the charge up attack is the strongest in-game, and can one-shot nearly every enemy, including bosses, when fully upgraded. -Souls/white fluff: obtained by killing enemies, these 'souls' (not sure what they're actually called) can be used to upgrade your equipment via the hidden blacksmith Bloody knife: can't be used yet, and will be usable in an update later on. SPOILERS BELOW (how to beat the game). I'm only including this so that it's easier for English speakers, as we can't understand any of the cut scenes or in-game material. In order to beat the game, you must find two chains with swords attaching to the ground and hit them until the chains glow blue. Then climb up a tower by flying inside it. At the top of the tower there are three chains you must scale. One has a rest area/blue crystals you can use as a checkpoint. The other two have bosses you have to kill for the chains to activate (a chain is also near the crystals). One boss is super duper easy and the other boss is the hardest boss in any game I've ever played. If you're going to play aggressive, I'd suggest using the red soul. If you play passive, use the yellow soul. If you want to 'cheese' it, use the blue soul (UPDATE: the yellow soul, when equipping javelins, can nearly one-shot this boss). Then, go to the bottom of the tower and activate the yin-yang symbol. Then go to where one of the ground-floor chains was, near an opening (not the one inside the building). Fly over to the blue Chinese character (it's huge, can't miss it) and fly on top. YOU MUST HAVE THE FLUTE EQUIPPED. Then run forward and press B (xbox) or circle (ps4) on the white spot on the end of the character and a dragon will appear. The game will end and new game+ will begin.

Somehow Steam hasn't captured just how much I've played this game. Maybe it's because I was offline most of the time but anyway - this game is sick! I love how much the z-axis is involved in this game; it makes the world design very interesting. It’s fun to jump/fly around and explore and find all the connections between the different areas. The more you play the more shortcuts and connections you find which is really cool. The combat is great! It’s smooth, challenging and fast paced which is the perfect combo. I don’t speak Chinese nor do I read Chinese so I have no idea what’s going on in the game which obviously made it harder to find out what each item does and how to use them. Nevertheless I’ve had a great time playing this game and I’m looking forward to the full release! 10/10 let’s goooo!!
