Soulstice

About

Soulstice casts you as Briar and Lute, twin sisters wielding contrasting powers in a war against Wraiths. Players switch between Briar, a tanky brawler with brute strength, and Lute, a spectral support fighter who wields magic. The combat blends melee strikes and spellcasting, requiring timing and strategy to overcome hordes of enemies and tough bosses. The story follows their quest to reclaim a Wraith-infested city, uncovering secrets about their forced transformation into Chimeras and the Order’s true motives. The narrative twists and character dynamics stand out, particularly Briar’s internal conflict and Lute’s ghostly presence. Stefanie Joosten voices Briar, adding depth to the siblings’ bond. With 40 achievements, the game challenges players to master its systems, though the rarest, “Something... unnatural,” has only a 1.20% unlock rate. Fast-paced action meets a dark fantasy world, layered with secrets about sacrifice and control.

Storyline

The balance of the Holy Kingdom of Keidas is compromised when powerful, feral creatures known as “Wraiths” invade from the other side of the Veil, threatening to consume the living. Wraiths corrupt their victims and can even possess their bodies, turning into unstoppable monsters that prey upon the common folk. The “Chimeras”, hybrid warriors born of the union of two souls, are the only ones who can protect humankind. Briar and Lute are two sisters who have been reborn as a Chimera. The transformation has granted Briar superhuman strength and resilience, while Lute, who was sacrificed in order to bind her soul to her sister’s, has become a ghost with mystical powers. Voiced by Stefanie Joosten (Metal Gear Solid 5), Briar and Lute are sent on a mission to reclaim a city in ruins that has been ravaged by the Wraiths, only to discover that the Order they belong to has a far more complex plan in mind.
