First gameplay footage for Souldiers recently shown

Souldiers is part Metroidvania, part Soulslike action with a twist of precision platforming rolled into one pixel art package. “Players take on the role of either scout, caster or archer battling for freedom in Terragaya, a mystical land on the border 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 epic for the ages.”

Featuring:

• 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.
• An interconnected world: Discover a sprawling handcrafted landscape filled with treasures, tough-as-nails bosses and secret pathways. 
• 16-bit sensation: Terragaya comes to life with vibrant world-class pixel art packed to the brim with details.
• Smart moves: Solve environmental puzzles and leap from place to place using an ever-expanding moveset.

Alberto Hernández, creative director at Retro Forge said, "We’re still a long way from launch, but I’m already excited for people to play the full game and discover everything Terragaya has to offer!" Souldiers is hoping to release on Switch and PC in the Spring of 2022.
