Young Souls

It's a good game, fun to play with a friend. decent story, good combat, flexible difficulty options and accessibility options are plentiful, making the game a cakewalk if you wanted to. howver a MAJOR point of frustration is that for some dumb reason the camera is centered on the male protagonist. whoever is controlling the sister is left high-and-dry and is often offscreen. doesn't make it unplayable, but it is very, very irritating.

i've looked several times and there is not an option to fix this.

Great little casual smash em up with a nice story, fun characters and a lot of F bombs. Enjoyed playing it on Steamdeck.

Me and my buddy only played this game on the hardest difficulty, so my review might be biased. So, this was definitely a hard game, but fun. It did not feel very "balanced", but the controls are tight, the visuals are perfect, the story is neat, the characters are fun, the sound effects must be good because I have nothing to complain about.

What bad stuff to expect:
- In couch coop, camera follows P1. Some rooms are LORGE so P2 might suffer.
- The rare resources (black gold and diamond) are rare. AFAIK, you can't farm them. So, you should wait before using them, or use them on weapons you're MOSTLY sure you will use the entire game.
- The game is harder at the beginning (hardest mode). Big enemies ONE-SHOT you, and it sometimes feels unfair. HOWEVER, once you adapt to the game, you learn what to-do, and what not-to-do. Then you find good armor, and you can survive a hit, and the game becomes easier (mostly because you've become good at surviving).

Anyways, it was hard, and it was fun. I am starting a guide.

Don't generally write reviews, but this game deserves one. It's a great beat'em up, with fun fighting mechanics, nice graphics and just the right amount of minigames.
The game is challenging until the end, then it becomes extremely easy, due to being overleveled and improving weapons and defense. I did not grind, one completed 100% of dungeons. That was enough to get there.
The story is a little lacking, but it's solid. I hoped that there was a bigger character development, but I guess that makes sense for punk teens.
Pretty neat characters, speaking of which. Edgy, but not at a point to be rude for no reason. Just teens being teens. Fits the narrative.
Overall, great game.

Is a nice dungeon crawler for what it is, I played it coop so I don't know the solo run is like. I wish there was more to do in the town, except for the shoes shop. And the only currency that had any value was the gold coins, the dollars you get from the pawn shop was only use for cosmetics. Also the bows as the best idea in the game, there was no competition for it at all.

Overall pretty fun.
Story was good, art was good. Combat could have used some improvements, but enjoyed it on the whole.
The balance could use a pass - a lot of enemies felt like 2-3 hits until death - against bosses with multiple hp bars, this is rough.
A runthrough is about 10 hours, game is more fun with a friend.

Great action Beat'em up/rpg! Fun in coop also! Very unique! Beautiful artwork and good story, gameplay!
