While many games try to get onto as many platforms as possible, certain teams do try to take a “slow and steady” approach to ensure that they don’t overreach before knowing if their games are ready for other systems. In the case of SoulBlade Studio, they published their 2D side-scrolling action game SoulQuest on Steam a few months back. Now, though, they’re ready to launch on the Nintendo Switch! The “spectacle fighter” will have you going on a noble quest…to kill a god…so you can get your husband back! Sound like fun? Good! Here’s the description and trailer for you:

“The village of Cetonia burned in a single day. Gwydre, the mightiest knight in the world, died defending it and the gods ruled the matter closed. His widow disagreed. Searching the ruins for survivors, Alysmeets Abanus, a druid who tells her that souls can be pulled back from the realm of the dead, but only by someone willing to face Morrigan herself and take that power from her. Alys does not hesitate. What follows is a journey across the British Isles to confront the entire Celtic pantheon, one god at a time.

Combat is where SoulQuest makes its case. Light and heavy attacks chain into dozens of freeform combos, each animation flowing into the next without a seam, and beyond the blade sit magical abilities and screen-clearing ultimates that let every player build a style of their own.

It is easy to pick up and genuinely difficult to master. Enemies arrive in relentless waves and the game grades the response on a scale from a shameful F to the coveted SSS, turning survival into performance and rewarding the players who treat a crowded arena as choreography rather than a chore.

Underneath the violence is a world built from Celtic folklore and Arthurian myth, rendered in crisp pixel art and scored with a medieval-inspired soundtrack. Every location is drawn from the real geography of the BritishIsles and every boss is a name someone once prayed to.”

So, do you have what it takes to get the vaunted SSS rank? Or, will you fail to get above the rank of…let’s be generous…C? There’s only one way to find out! If you’re going to get it on Switch, pre-order it on the eShop today!
