*After reading a few reviews, if you're having camera problems / trouble with the boulder section, you'll need to drop your screen's refresh rate to 60Hz and you're good to go! This game has a really unique combat system. It's fair to compare this to Hyper Light Drifter and Sekiro, even some Hades thrown in with the dash, but I think it deserves a bit more credit for standing out with it's own mechanics. You have a few more options than a typical souls game, and you can link dashes, parries, counters and attacks into combos. That's where this game really shines and it gives you solid feedback to see and learn the timing windows. The gameplay is incredibly fluid and fair, but you can adjust multiple difficulty settings whenever you need. It also gives you a practice room with plenty of guidance for chaining attacks. It took a few stages for everything to start clicking, there's definitely a learning curve but nothing too intense or obnoxious. You won't need to pour over wiki's but you will die and figure out how to avoid it next time. The practice room is really helpful all around. I highly recommend this gem that does not get talked about nearly enough! This is a really creative action game and I was surprised to learn it was built by a single developer. They deserve massive credit and support!

Unsouled is a demanding, precision-focused action RPG that places mechanical mastery at the center of its identity. Developed by Megusta Game and published by NEOWIZ, the game immediately signals that it is not interested in easing players into comfort. Instead, it challenges them to engage deeply with its systems, rewarding patience, timing, and experimentation. While its presentation evokes classic pixel-art action titles, the underlying design philosophy is distinctly modern, emphasizing high-speed combat, layered mechanics, and player expression through skill rather than raw statistics. Combat is the defining pillar of the experience, and it is both unforgiving and deeply satisfying. Encounters are fast, aggressive, and structured around precise inputs, with enemies that react dynamically to player actions. Attacking recklessly is rarely viable; success comes from understanding enemy patterns, exploiting brief openings, and chaining attacks with deliberate intent. The game’s combo system encourages fluidity, allowing players to link normal strikes, special abilities, counters, and movement into extended sequences that feel almost rhythmic when executed well. Timing-based counters, in particular, become a core skill, turning defense into offense and rewarding players who are willing to take calculated risks. Progression is tightly integrated into this combat framework through the game’s soul system. Defeated enemies yield souls that can be equipped in different ways, offering passive stat bonuses or active abilities that meaningfully alter how the character plays. Rather than simply increasing numbers, these souls invite experimentation, letting players tailor their approach to combat based on preferred rhythms and tactics. Environmental interaction further enhances this sense of agency, as positioning, terrain, and hazards can be used strategically to thin enemy ranks or gain advantages during chaotic fights. Visually, Unsouled stands out through its detailed pixel art and striking use of lighting and animation. Characters and enemies are animated with clarity and weight, ensuring that attack cues and movement remain readable even during intense encounters. The world itself is bleak and atmospheric, with ruined structures, hostile landscapes, and shifting tones that reinforce the sense of a fallen kingdom. Dynamic lighting effects add depth to the environments, lending a sense of scale and drama that elevates the presentation beyond simple retro homage. Narrative elements are delivered subtly, favoring environmental storytelling and fragmented lore over direct exposition. The player inhabits a world shaped by catastrophe, where the absorption of souls is both a power and a burden. Rather than spelling out every detail, the game allows its setting, enemy designs, and locations to suggest a larger story, leaving room for interpretation. This understated approach complements the gameplay well, ensuring that story never disrupts pacing while still providing thematic context for the relentless action. Difficulty is a central part of the game’s identity, but it is also flexible. Multiple difficulty settings allow players to adjust the challenge to their comfort level, making the game more approachable without diluting its core mechanics. A dedicated training mode offers space to practice combos, counters, and advanced techniques, acknowledging that mastery requires repetition and understanding. Even so, the learning curve remains steep, and the game expects players to engage thoughtfully with its systems rather than relying on brute force. Level design balances exploration with combat intensity. Areas are compact but layered, often encouraging backtracking and experimentation as new abilities are unlocked. Encounters are carefully placed to test specific skills, whether that’s crowd control, precision timing, or sustained endurance. Boss fights serve as skill checks, demanding full use of the game’s mechanics and punishing complacency while delivering a strong sense of accomplishment when overcome. Ultimately, Unsouled is a game that thrives on commitment. It is not designed to appeal to everyone, nor does it attempt to smooth over its sharp edges. Instead, it offers a focused, mechanically rich experience for players who enjoy learning systems, refining execution, and earning progress through mastery. For fans of intense action, intricate combat design, and stylized pixel-art worlds, it stands as a confident and challenging entry that rewards dedication with moments of genuine exhilaration. Rating: 7/10

Crazy to me that more people don't talk about this game online, it's got one of THE COOLEST combat systems out there right now. Think Hyper Light Drifter but with lightning-fast hack & slash combos that you can keep chaining together and take out every enemy on screen, it's so exciting. Do not wait for it to go on sale, it's so worth it. Specially since most stages have different secret paths that you can take after beating it the first time and the extra work gets you an EPIC true ending.

Some of the reviews had me wary, but I enjoyed my time with Unsouled and don't feel like the current top review is indicative of where the game is post early access. What I will agree with is that the intro sets up different expectations. It suggests the game will be difficult, require precise timings you need to learn and will need to keep a rhythm and flow going, which, at least on the default normal difficulty, is only half true. So long as you have at least some situational awareness, you can pretty comfortably mash through just about everything, especially once you acquire certain skills and upgrades, which are by no means useless. The sense of progression with passive souls, skills, and upgrades was nice and kept me going as I went back and got through the true route. Unfortunately though, the game does end on a cliffhanger and I'm not sure we'll ever see that resolved.

Unsouled is an interesting game that I'm glad I played. This is a very worthwhile game to try out if you're intrigued by an experimental and unique combat system. For combat, the stars of the show are chain counters and ghost orbs. Dealing heavy damage to an enemy if you attack right before you get hit is tricky yet satisfying, and being able to then use that as momentum to chain kill multiple enemies is inspired. On the other hand, the ghost orbs providing you with a defensive option that helps mitigate being stun-locked with a fighting game-style burst is a curious merging of genre ideas that grants the game a distinct combat feel. On top of this your overall toolset is varied and multi-faceted, allowing you to be extremely aggressive if you successfully combo your moves. The other elements of the game were not as striking. The visuals felt inconsistent, and at times looked a bit poor (specifically during boss-phase transitions and end-of-level screens). The story and writing weren't very interesting, and the gameplay tutorial is pretty hard to parse initially. The jump between the normal and master soul difficulties felt excessive, where normal was too easy and master soul was too difficult (and the chain counter feels almost impossible to pull off). Despite that, I could still easily recommend Unsouled if you're looking for a fresh take on top-down 2D action combat. I'd love to see some of the ideas here developed and iterated on.
