Elements like the ongoing sibling banter between the twins makes them feel that much more endearing, while a filled-out cast of villains proves to have a little more substance that makes each fight with a rogue feeling suitably climactic. This isn’t just a typical ‘find the mob boss and the beat the tar out of everything that moves’ story, but a coming-of-age narrative that deals with a charismatic duo of protagonists. After pairing up with a friendly goblin, the two thus set out on a long guest to dismantle the key players of the war effort and hopefully save their professor in the process.įor a beat ‘em up, Young Souls proves to be a surprisingly story driven experience. They follow it through and find themselves in a lost world far beneath the surface of the earth, populated by a warring race of goblins that are mounting a plan to take over the surface. After a quick trip into town, the kids return home to find the place ransacked and their beloved professor gone, while an ominous portal stands open in his lab. The professor is an expert in Cryptozoology, and though he clearly cares about the kids in his care, he spends most of his time toiling away in the lab on some mysterious project. Young Souls follows the story of Tristan and Jenn, a set of orphaned headstrong twins living with an eccentric professor on the edge of town. Young Souls proves itself to be a remarkably quality release that builds well on the foundations of the genre with some well-implemented ideas, making for an experience you won’t want to miss.
Unsurprisingly, the studio soon set about porting the release to other platforms, and it’s finally arrived now on the Switch. Then in 2021, the game launched as a Stadia exclusive and… well, we all know how that went. Nearly four years ago, The Arcade Crew and 1P2P revealed Young Souls, a promising new entry in the oft-overlooked beat ‘em up genre.
