What is Young Souls?
You play Jenn and Tristan in a side-scrolling action RPG, searching a parallel goblin world for their missing guardian. You fight through dungeons and bosses, collect and upgrade equipment, and visit the human town to shop and improve stats at the gym. Play alone or in local co-op.
For you if...
- +you enjoy experimenting with equipment and different fighting styles

- −you prefer straightforward brawling without shopping or stat management
