TPP action RPG with slasher-like combat system. In Soulstice we play as Briar and Lute - sisters who as so called Chimera have to face monsters plaguing the city of Ilden. The game was developed by Reply Game Studios.
Soulstice is a dynamic action RPG enriched with elements taken from slasher games. The game was developed by Reply Game Studios team, and it was published by Modus Games.
Soulstice takes us to a fantastic world plagued by the Phantoms - wild creatures coming from behind the veil. These creatures take over people's minds and transform them into bloodthirsty monsters. Only Chimeras, powerful warriors born from the merging of two souls in one body, can face them. When one such breach appeared above the city of Ilden, the brave sisters Briar and Lute decided to take matters into their own hands. As Chimera, they must face the threat, along the way discovering the dark secrets of their order, whose intentions are not as pure as they thought, and the origin of their powers.
In Soulstice we observe the action from the third person perspective (TPP). Moving around Ilden, we mainly eliminate our opponents. The game implements a combat system, which even a true slasher would be proud of. During quick clashes with adversaries we use superhuman strength and impressive skills of Briar, who fights with cold weapons and performs spectacular combos, as well as can change weapons on the fly. Besides, we have to use Lute's abilities, who as a ghost (the girl was sacrificed in the merging process) weakens enemies with the help of special auras. During the game we face both standard opponents and much stronger bosses. As we progress we gain more powerful weapons and improve the ones we already have, which allows us to face more and more challenges.
Soulstice has a polished graphic design, kept in a colorful, but at the same time quite dark style inspired by classical Japanese motifs. The voice of the main characters was lent by Stefani Joosten, known from the game Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain.

PC Gamer: 56 / 100 by Tom Sykes
A meaty action game let down by a persistently rubbish camera and a lack of variation in its stages.
God is a Geek: 7 / 10 by Mick Fraser
Soulstice is a competent hack and slasher with a solid core concept and an interesting world history that remains somewhat under-explored.
COGconnected: 72 / 100 by Mark Steighner
It’s nice to play an action game more influenced by Devil May Cry than Dark Souls for a change. Soulstice makes a good case for its combat and its synthesis of two characters with distinct fighting styles. The characters themselves aren’t particularly interesting or sympathetic, and their quips and asides grow annoying. The game’s fixed camera and how it hamstrings enjoyable platforming and exploration are most troubling. Soulstice isn’t as entertaining or polished as the games from which it draws inspiration, but it’s worth checking out for gamers growing tired of the Soulsborne template.
