Indie developer Retro Forge, in partnership with publisher Dear Villagers, is happy to announce that its 16-bit inspired action RPG Metroidvania Adventure Souldiers is out now on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC (via Steam).
You can watch this launch trailer from Dear Villagers before you head into the fray.
Souldiers represents the fruits of our labour across several years as we assembled our dream game that mixes old and new sensibilities.
Souldiers’ 16-bit inspired aesthetic may recall SNES classics, but its approach to customizing your character and choosing between classes gives it depth and replayability above the 90s fare that inspired us. It’s a very emotional day for us to finally share the culmination of all our hard work with you all today.
