Tietoa pelistä

SoulStream Saga: Chapter 1 is an old school JRPG in 2D pixel art style, that focuses on bringing back those characteristic feelings of games from the 1990s and early 2000s. Dive into a compelling narrative-driven adventure and utilize the strategic turn based combat system to the fullest extent!

Story

A brutal war has ravaged the capital city of Alestria. Rival factions claim that they’re fighting for a better future, but the truth is simple: Ordinary civilians are paying the price, and many who are taking part in the battle are using it as an excuse to enact total anarchy.

Astarius Valcrest, a former Mage, wishes to stop the conflict between Mages and Alchemists before it reaches the point of no return.

After casting aside his title, he left to explore the world and study alchemy independently. Astarius returned years later with Alchaeon, a special blade forged by his hand and infused with a mix of both magic and alchemy.

With this blade, he is now determined more than ever to prove that unity, not division, will shape his city's future...

A century later, princess Victoria Lockewell casts a forbidden alchemical incantation to revive Astarius, in order to get his help with preventing her father, the king, from slipping further into madness.

Combat System

• Shared ATB (Active Time Battle) System: Designed to focus on timing, pressure, and smart decision making.

• Casting and interrupts: Most actions performed take time to execute, well-timed disruption can change the flow of battle.

• Elemental strategy: Both Astarius and his enemies have elemental weaknesses and resistances that can be exploited within battle. Astarius's elemental affinity is determined by the stance he is currently using, which changes depending on the skills that you choose.

• Adaptive enemy behavior: Enemies evaluate the current situation every turn. Reacting appropriately to heal, buff, disrupt, focus, assist teammates, and more, with a touch of unpredictability.

• Equipment and items: Utilize a variety of items within battle, equip various types of gear to better prepare yourself for what lies ahead.

Full Game Plans

The complete version of SoulStream Saga: Chapter 1 is planned to be a larger experience of much higher quality. This includes: 

• A full party-driven JRPG structure: 3 characters active in combat, 7 total party members to recruit and develop.

• At least 40 hours of story content, expanding far beyond the currently playable segment. 

• Lore and narrative that explores the world 100 years after the war, revealing its long-term consequences. 

• Major upgrades to presentation: Improved art style, VFX/particles, lighting, music, and sounds, with a vibe inspired by classic PS1/PS2-era JRPGs. 

• A deeper progression layer: A unique skill tree for every character, supporting distinct builds and playstyles.

• Various minigames and stuff to do: Treasure hunting, fishing, and even a unique playable trading card game!

DEMO Notice

The free demo focuses on a segment designed to showcase the game’s narrative and combat, in addition to acting as a prequel to the full story. All skills and magic are already unlocked and the only playable character is at his maximum level. You may encounter bugs, glitches, or performance issues. Missing polish, placeholders, and problems are to be expected as this project was developed in only a few months by a 3-person team. Any feedback is incredibly valuable to us and will help shape the full game nevertheless.
