Indie studio Retro Forge Games has announced that their debut ‘Souldiers’ will be released on Switch as well as PC, with a launch planned for Spring 2022. To celebrate the announcement they also published a full game reveal trailer.
Souldiers wraps Metroidvania exploration, crunchy Soulslike combat and precision platforming into one gorgeous pixelated package. Players take on the role of either a scout, caster or archer, battling for freedom in Terragaya, a mystical land on the borderline between life and death.
Outwit cunning enemies, solve nefarious puzzles, upgrade your character, and explore every corner of a dazzling, intricate 16-bit world. Souldiers is a handcrafted retro-inspired epic for the ages.

- ●Choose Your Class: Unleash the fury of your sword with the scout, summon the wrath of elements with the caster, or rain down arrows on your foes with the archer.
- ●Gripping Combat: Slash, parry and dodge your way through an ever-evolving roster of enemies, upgrading your skills and equipment to find a combat style that’s perfect for you.

“Retro Forge was born out of a love for all things classic and nostalgic,” said Alberto Hernández, creative director at Retro Forge. “Souldiers is like our personal tribute to the games we all grew up with. I can’t wait for more people to see it!”
“Souldiers is shaping up to be a super special part of our catalogue,” said Guillaume Jamet, head of publishing at Dear Villagers. ‘It’s beautiful and engrossing. I feel very fortunate to be working with such talented folks.”
