@Ace Pace thanks for the correction; I was looking at an early announcement when I posted this. I've edited my comment to include the correct date.

Even if the game is not like anything I would enjoy playing, I do love these short 3-minute reviews. Good work people.

You sold me on this game, while I don't play these type of games. Your descriptions grabbed my attention and your criticisms didn't sway me away! Great video KC!

You don't play these types of games? You don't play RPGs? that's the great thing about RPGs, they come in all shapes and sizes

This game is actually pretty chill and fun. I'm enjoying this game. And the dialogue is hilarious

Yet another solid looking co-op focused game that does "couch co-op only". Smdh. So many games my friend and I have passed on buying because they didnt have online co-op.

Couch co-op is harder to find than online, but you won't be happy until my favourite ill-served niche is squashed. Thanks. Are you also one of those folk who goes into real-time-with-pause titles to brigade them for not being turn-based?

Looks excellent, definitely gonna give it a go this weekend

Great review, definitely convinced me to get it 👍

Does this game have New Game+? I'm almost finished playing through it but I hope you can play again keeping the equipment you have but able to get the rare gems needed to fully upgrade the weapons and armor I wasn't able to with the first playthrough.

Art style reminds me of Gumball especially in the main town. Wonder why the devs felt obligated to have the kids swear so much, really doesn't add much and just comes off as cringe.

2 year late response but 1, it's realistic. Kids when not around adults tend to swear A LOT and 2 they have anger issues so it's really easy to swear to release some of that anger and/or stress.

Played it in Gamepass. Very cool game. 😎

Gives me hardcore Going Under vibes which I'm kind of into it

Gasp! i've been waiting for this game :D

I love me a good beat em up I am loving this resurgence

Local coop sounds good, interesting game

Probably get on sale since I’m backlog with a bunch of purchase games and less time on my hands

That art style looks very familiar

It reminded me of Deaths Door. Which I'm absolutely loving atm. On my radar now....I just want more games like this and Deaths Door lol.

Goblin Slayer: Goblins?!

ya too good for reviewing a game

looks fun

I ran into a weird bug where my sword can no longer do light attacks and can only charge heavy attacks but not release the attack. Needless to say this broke the game and made it impossible to beat.

so Troll Hunters the game

I mean there are plenty of angry potty mouthed teens so it's not completely unbelievable.

How long to beat it?

Stated in the review that it was about 10 hours.

Game Pass for the win.

If you want younger kids to play..........There is a big fat M rating for the game for pretty much Fbombs. I was expecting some fucked whit like from binding of Issac to show up but I guess M rating is awarded for just saying fuck.

Mind boggling there's no online co-op in 2022.

Unfortunately, the game isn't very good. Never mind the highly unbalanced equipment and the fact that backstab crits break the game entirely, but the game takes a nosedive in quality after beating Tetcha. After her, all the enemies pretty much play out the same way, with very little variance the entire way through. Speccing in attack and using the double blades (specifically the one you get from the first goblin assassin boss) is pretty much the way to go. And the bosses after Tetcha are pretty much trash, even the final boss. For some reason they either become incredibly susceptible to easy parries or you can just keep running behind them and they'll keep using the same ineffective attack (looking at you kao-khon). And the Story? Massive trash. Aside from the intro, you never get a feeling that the kids 'don't belong'. And then there's mayor Walden, which for no reason whatsoever, is treated like utter trash in the ending for zero reasons. If my may go into spoilers. The kids pretty much go on to decide he's wrong and he should be incarcerated. I'm pretty Sure Walden wasn't the one who initially attacked the goblin society. In fact, what he did as mayor is. -take in a bunch of goblin refugees. -build a machine to protect the town -gave the kids access to get deeper into the gates -never exploited the professor or anyone really -save the teens from Dwarvengobben -agrees to the compromise In other words, the writing is utter and complete trash, with the only interesting tidbits was the interaction of the goblins before you slay them one by one.

Did you play on the recommended difficulty or did you choose balanced? Im guessing you chose the second one from the top? The intended vision is the challenging difficulty. Enemy's do 100% of their damage if they strike you and you only get 1 life. The game is decently difficult right from the start but I do agree the enemy patterns are way to easy to predict and dodge and they can all be stunlocked at times. I don't think the games bad imo. I went in knowing I'm not gonna give a f about the story so I just fast forward. I think I just listened at the start to get an idea. Some guy that isn't their dad goes missing blah blah. It's just a mindless hack and slash rpg I don't know why you were expecting a deep game.

Also I hope you never bought it? It was on gamepass day 1 and you can get gamepass for a dollar when you first sign up. On pc, xbox, and mobile. But if you did buy it I definitely understand being let down. I didn't so my thoughts are just whatever I'll stop playing it. Guardians of the galaxy was also just added to gpass the same day. That's a game I would have never bought and it really surprised me. It's fun as hell.

@@HonkeyKong54 I did challenging first as I am a vet to these type of games. Its the fact the mechanics and most of the bosses are braindead easy, and Back crit quite literally breaks most of the game, while other bosses are just mindlessly easy period. And since I specced in STR only, the ghost area wasn't any real challenge as well due to killing the enemies before they can really do anything. My main issue is that since the gameplay was subpar, the story should have made up for it, which it didn't. I put the game on some footing with Dragon's Crown, and DC is a much better RPG beat em up than Young Souls.

@@LuizPrower That is a shame to hear, but I was interested in the game just from the beautiful visuals and character design. I'd have put up with mediocre gameplay and even a sub par story if it was creative enough, but from your summary, I do feel it'd go beyond just sub par, straight into leaving a bad taste in my mouth. Well, hey, I already beat Odin Sphere, and I haven't played my copy of Dragon's Crown yet. Might as well follow your suggestion and get around to that instead

My only gripe against this review is how you actually complained about the teens swearing, which I found prudish. Have you heard teenagers recently? Even more, their attitude seemed authentic to me PRECISELY because it was uncensored and unfiltered.

"The profanity seems like a much more desperate attempt to age up the narrative." Sound like teenagers to me.

The game gives me a feeling of twewy a bit;

The critique about the redheads swearing is from someone who's clearly never dealt with redheads before XD

How many different games are there with the “______ Souls” name? Dark, demon’s, Eldest, Young, titan. This looks cool, but c’mon with the naming already. I wonder if it’s an SEO tactic to get traffic when people search for dark souls on storefronts, their game shows up too.

Thanks for the review! Initially I thought it looked like a great game to play with my young daughter...but wait...rated M? Foul language? Unfortunate move from the developers. Even if it can be "turned off" its unneeded. I am so tired of "edgy" swearing in games. Sure, many will not mind it...but for those of us that do...1P2P games just lost potential customers. And for what? Does the swearing add to the game in any meaningful way?

Teenagers swear a lot. It's kind of their thing. Part of rebelling against the constraints adults put on them plus when you're a teenager you're starting to push boundaries. Plus they're twin redheads. I dunno if you've ever been around redheads but there's a reason they have a reputation for being fiery lol. Honestly, if you don't want your kids exposed to it that's fine there's an option to turn it off but just because you don't like swearing doesn't mean it isn't a fact people swear, and that it really shouldn't be as big a deal as some folks make it out to be. They're just words.

@@ZiddersRooFurry Putting aside the fact that swearing may be offensive, the more important point is that swearing is an incredibly annoying and uncreative way of talking. Probably why teenagers swear a lot. They are immature. It is just unpleasant to listen to. I loose faith in a artist's ability to make good art when they use unneeded vulgarity as a crutch for character development. It's just bad form. And its especially apparent in the above example because Young Soul's great art style contrasts so garishly with the juvenile dialogue.

The aesthetics of this game just screams woke zoomer. The gameplay looks nice though I'll give them that.

Elder Souls is better.
