01 Games Studio’s latest offering, ‘Two Souls’, presents itself as a perilous journey through a beautifully crafted yet unforgiving world of the medieval castle. This 2D platformer is a relentless test of skill, patience, and perseverance, offering players a richly detailed experience that promises both frustration and triumph in equal measure.
Do you want to be a princess or a knight?
Why choose, be both! In Two Souls you have the chance to direct both characters at the same time. This creates some complications, such as unplanned falling on spikes.
Exploring – your middlename
Exploration is heavily rewarded in ‘Two Souls’. Hidden areas and secret passages are scattered throughout the levels, waiting for the keen-eyed player to discover. Climbing ladders often reveals previously inaccessible areas.
The inclusion of potions and aura-generating items adds a delightful layer of complexity. These items can alter your character’s abilities, enabling them to reach new heights or pass through obstacles that would otherwise be insurmountable. This mechanic not only enriches the gameplay but also encourages thorough exploration and experimentation.
Expect to die—a lot. The game’s high difficulty level is unapologetic, with death being a frequent companion. However, each death is a learning experience, pushing you to refine your skills and strategies.
Visuals and Sound of Two Souls
The art style of ‘Two Souls’ is enchanting, with meticulously designed sprites that draw you into its world. The 2D graphics are vibrant and detailed, with a charm that belies the game’s challenging nature. Coupled with a haunting and atmospheric soundtrack, the game creates an immersive experience that is as beautiful as it is treacherous.
And to be honest. The jingle from the game turned out to be so good that it still accompanies me while writing this article for you.
