Eldest Souls, the souls-like boss rush indie game that promises to rock your world is finally here. Developed by Fallen Flag Studio, Eldest Souls is now available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC (via Steam) for just $19.99 USD.

Dark Souls fans will be happy to know that developer Fallen Flag Studios promises that their game features ferociously difficult combat that pits only the bravest of players through a series of intricately designed boss battles where every moment counts.

If you're not into fast-paced combat, then Eldest Souls is certainly not for you. Graphics-wise, the game is framed by an arresting, thematic pixel-art style, dripping in gorgeous 16-bit attention-to-detail.

Eldest Souls is set in the vast, labyrinthine Citadel, teeming with vindictive deities who have unleashed a devastating Desolation upon the world. Players will be able to customize unique skills and builds to aid in their epic battles and uncover the dark truth behind the Old Gods’ vengeance.

Unlike other soulslike games, Eldest Souls solely focuses on the toughest and most engaging of combat encounters, the Bosses, as each Old God presents a new and unique challenge for the player to overcome.

Fortunately, those who are victorious will be able to claim the God’s celestial powers to unlock a vast array of unique Talents and Abilities, ready to customize their own personalized combat style from a multitude of combinations.

In Eldest Souls, players must guide their warriors through a vast Citadel in search of these embittered beings while engaging with intriguing NPCs, compelling questlines, and a series of ominous mysteries that hint at why the Old Gods have been imprisoned so long.

For fans of the soulslike genre, Eldest Souls sounds like a dream come true: ferocious, fast-paced, souls-like inspired combat, challenging Boss-Rush combat encounters, intriguing NPCs and challenging questlines, and an extensive skill tree resulting in a multitude of ability combinations for a fully customizable combat style.
