Recently, Steam released Song of Souls, a Chinese-developed third-person action role-playing game that draws clear inspiration from Dark Souls. In this title, progression revolves around collecting and wielding souls to empower the hero, echoing familiar mechanics while introducing its own twists and pacing. The unnamed protagonist journeys into the mysterious Forest of Souls, a place steeped in legend, where each encounter with the ancients offers a chance to claim their enduring power. The journey is as much about strategy as it is about grit, with every step shaping the path to mastery.
The core combat emphasis rests on precise timing and careful resource management. Players must read enemies, time blocks and dodges, and exploit openings with discipline, even when facing seemingly ordinary adversaries. The rhythm of battles rewards patience, anticipation, and careful tempo rather than brute force alone, creating moments that feel earned rather than rushed.
Song of Souls runs on Unreal Engine 5, delivering detailed environments, fluid animations, and scalable performance that underline the game’s tactile combat and atmospheric design. The title ships with localization in Chinese and English, ensuring accessibility for a broad audience across its primary markets. Price-wise, it is listed at 207 rubles with a 20 percent discount active until a stated date, and Epic Games Store promotions sometimes include additional free content or items that enhance early progression for new players.
