Our take on Golden Soul
Players who need a forgiving combat curve may bounce off at the challenging bosses. Those expecting constant action may also stop when progress requires puzzle solving, historical investigation, and choices tied to the time-loop story.
What is Golden Soul?
Golden Soul follows a character trapped in a magical time loop after a tragic event.
Fifty years later, the character’s soul has withered away, leaving an empty shell wandering the abyss. A mage grants a Golden Soul, a magical imitation that prolongs existence without feelings, morality, or memories. The journey focuses on reclaiming the former self, uncovering what led to the abyss, and discovering a connection to a magical cataclysm consuming the world. Progress includes battling magical creatures, monsters, fallen heroes, and former friends; solving puzzles; uncovering the world’s forgotten past; and mastering spells. Choices can shape history. Challenging bosses and pop-culture references are also part of the adventure.
