There is practically no time to think about the hack & slash genre. The succession of pineapples, slaps and sword blows that we can enjoy among the best works are brutal, but there is not always a reason to resort to references. If we have already aired all the Devil May Cry, Bayonetta and Ninja Gaiden, there is a game to hold on to.
This is Soulstice, the work of Maximum Games that was released at the end of 2022 and did not get all the recognition it should. If you want to give it a try, you can do it through PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium, both to play on PS5 like in ps4. In any case, get ready to control the Briar and Lute sisters.
Both are a pair of chimeras born from the fusion of two soulsbut with very different functions. While Briar is capable of executing superhuman attacks and movement, Lute uses different mystical powers through his ghostly form. Both will have to deal with the threat of the Specters, interdimensional beings that threaten to destroy the entire Sacred Kingdom from the citadel of Ilden.
With fixed plans in the purest adventure style with Dante and with a final score after each battle, we will have to survive in a world that is gradually being destroyed and where creatures from hell roam free. The combination of the abilities of both sisters is essential if we are to have a chance against the specters, Corrupted and Taken. Of course, we must take into account a key detail.
Some enemies are imbued with a colored energy source, so we will have to turn to Lute to allow us to use this energy in our favor to be able to hit them. All this in the middle of a unstoppable hunt against Briar which is even tougher with the final bosses. Obviously, there are many secrets to discover in soulstice, exploring the corners of the city. In turn, weapons can be improved, we can choose what skills we need and discover the dark truth about those who have sent us on such a dangerous mission.
