Our take on Soul Elegy
The bounce point comes when combat calls for choices about team composition, Soul Stone customization, and ghost traits. Players unfamiliar with strategy games may hit that wall as they work out how different ghosts function in battle; the rewind mechanic offers repeated attempts, but does not remove the game's stated challenge.
What is Soul Elegy?
Lead undead forces in a challenging strategy roguelike with randomized mazes, team combinations, and turn-based combat.
Tomb robbers, adventurers, soldiers, knights, and other human opponents stand between the dead and their counterattack. The game offers 12 ghosts, each with distinct traits, while the Soul Stone system lets players customize individual undead. Skills gained with each level-up add options for battle strategies. Exploration is non-linear, and choices can lead to different outcomes. Battles and levels can be completed in multiple ways. A rewind mechanic allows players to retry during combat as they learn how their ghosts work. The story involves the undead confronting the church, human rulers, and old gods.
