The combat in Eldest Souls is a firm challenge. "Not exactly the most original concept in 2021, but while Eldest Souls may not be the first to the party, it is a game that combines its ideas well." So to simply lump Eldest Souls in with the countless other souls-likes would be an oversimplification. Dying and trying again is a loop that is better served by the quickness you might more often find in something like Super Meat Boy, and the overall structure of the boss rush format has more in common with Cuphead than Souls games. There are no standard enemies per se, and dying doesn’t really make you lose anything (other than perhaps your patience), and I think that works in the game’s favor. Especially in outdoor areas, shattered buildings and rubble accompany every location, so the game does give you the feeling of being in the midst of a dense lore, despite the context of the current situation being quite simple.Īll that said, the similarities between Eldest Souls and an actual Dark Souls game almost entirely end after you account for the high difficulty and the dreary gothic setting. It’s a simple set up but also alludes to a tumultuous and complicated past that the game constantly reminds you of with shards of a former civilization all around you. Humanity is under threat and you play humanity’s last hope to put the conflict to bed for good. The story of Eldest Souls is similar in tone to most games of this sort. The game does end up doing its own thing a little bit more than it lets on with its premise, but with “souls” being right there in the title, it’s a pretty obvious signal to that fan base from developer Fallen Flag Studio. Not exactly the most original concept in 2021, but while Eldest Souls may not be the first to the party, it is a game that combines its ideas well.
