The Bar Souls

Temporary Review (after 2 hours of gameplay): We have an excellent retro Souls-like and boss-rush game with strong Zelda inspirations and a cozy atmosphere. First, the gameplay is straightforward: precise Souls-like attacks and dodges, no stamina bar, and a dash move with limited uses that recharges after a few seconds. There’s a nice variety of weapons, from bows to axes, and a roguelike element where your weapon changes each time you die, adding unpredictability. The initial difficulty is moderate—neither too hard nor too easy. Minor enemies are simple but strategically placed, while bosses offer solid challenge and variety, featuring at least four distinct attack patterns that include projectile barrages, lasers, area-of-effect strikes, and environmental hazards. Exploration is rewarding, with hidden easter eggs, keys for progression, secret paths, and shortcuts that make returning to bosses faster. One issue, however, is that the boundaries of explorable areas are sometimes unclear—though, fortunately, you won’t find invisible walls blocking your way. The puzzles are well-designed and generally fair, except for one box-moving puzzle that would benefit from a quick reset op…

LOVE this game. If you have grown up with gaming, back to the earliest days, if you love retro games and the nostalgia of games like Legend of Zelda, Adventure, the real old school classics, then you will feel at home here. This game is an homage to the early roots of gaming. The combat is tough, the scenery is beautiful, the soundtrack is amazing, the amount of emotion and nostalgia they can pour into such simple pixel art is really impressive. I've finished the game once already and I'm diving back in to uncover more of the little secrets and easter eggs!

So far, the game is really good. The difficulty feels well balanced, and both the aesthetics and map design are very well thought out. The only downside I’ve found is that you can’t skip animations, whether it’s death scenes or menu transitions. They’re a bit slow to start or exit, so sometimes it’s just faster to press Alt+F4. Other than that, I think it’s an excellent game.

Titan Souls but like you spawn with a different weapon. The environment looks so much like Titan Souls and then it is a boss battler like Titan Souls, hmm I wonder if this game took influence from Titan Souls. I liked how the main character is a health bar. Most of the weapons felt too similar and I would have liked some more variation and wackyness. I recommend this game if you liked Titan Souls.

Excelente Souls like, y en retro pixel art (disculpe la nostalgia pero eso para mi suma un monton ja!) Divertido, frustrante (en el buen sentido) y con un soundtrack alucinante en cada Boss! En lo personal me fascino!
