There are a lot of skills to unlock as well, including a grapple hook, different combo paths, and parry moves that let you tailor a specific playstyle to your liking. With directional inputs, pause combos, launchers, gap closers, and (by the end of the game) seven different weapons that can all be swapped to on the fly, Briar can certainly hold her own. In combat, she handles more like a traditional hack and slash protagonist, with a variety of melee attacks (and a few ranged) that allow her to control space, launch enemies, navigate the battlefield, and, of course, dish out combos.īriar’s moveset might be a bit more limited than some of the biggest names in the action genre, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t a good selection of stuff to play around with.

The aforementioned Briar is the “lead” character of the two and, for the most part, is the one you directly control. You play as a “Chimera,” which is a fusion of two individuals who are sent out to kill demons. If you’re not familiar with Soulstice and didn’t read my preview back in June, then 1) I’m hurt, but 2) it’s a hack and slash style game that’s drawn comparisons to Platinum Games' high octane titles. Starring roles in games just don’t pay like they used to.ĭumb fashion jokes aside, Soulstice is a low-profile game that surprised me with how great it is. Whereas I have to quibble over being able to afford to eat out an extra day, Briar apparently has to choose between whether to wear pants on her right or left leg.

I often struggle picking and choosing where to spend my money, but I have to admit that I have it much better off than Briar, the main protagonist of Soulstice. By Paul Broussard, posted on 21 September 2022 / 4,285 Views
