‘Soul-Chained’ has players striking and rolling, tripping and tangling. Bind yourself into a team of two to four players and yank your way through a titanic world of giants. Featured as the headliner of the viral YouTube video by Iron Pineapple with over 1,200,000 views!
[June 30th 2025]: In life, you were bitter rivals, sworn enemies… in Purgatory, you are each other’s last hope of salvation. Soul-Chained, a new souls-like combat platformer from Kryoware Games, binds you together with your fellow warlord to fight your way through a world of giants, up to the true Afterlife.
Slash and roll, striking enemies and dodging their attacks, all while staying within chain-length of your partner. Stray too far and get yanked back, falling to the ground and wasting precious seconds struggling back up onto your feet. But the link isn’t without its advantages: tangle up enemies in your chain to interrupt their moves, or trip out their legs from under them, and suddenly it is their turn to topple to the ground! Work together with your partner through perilous platforming challenges, jumping together and using the chain to overcome obstacles that no single soul could hope to face!
‘Soul-Chained’ is a game with a simple premise that makes a powerful impression. Racking up more than 830,000 views as the headliner of Iron Pineapple’s viral YouTube video, Soul-Chained offers a free demo on Steam, with a full release later this Summer.
Watch the trailer for Soul-Chained below.
Key features of Soul-Chained include:
-
Entangled Combat and Platforming Challenges. Master the art of dodge-rolling without straying too far from your companion! Master the art of jumping together across harrowing chasms, between tiny perches, and once you’ve learned not to get in each other’s way, you can begin true cooperation; using your chain to tangle up enemies, or riding it like a zip-line along narrow ledges and wires!
-
Two to Four Players. Is just one bonded soul not enough for you? Up to four players can link together and face the challenges of Purgatory, all tied to a central chain. Communication is key!
-
Haunted World After Death. Purgatory is vast and eerie, with enemies from the size of just a man all the way up to giants that tower in the horizon. Join together with your bitter rival warlord and fight to clean away the mistakes of your life!
Soul-Chained is currently available to wishlist on Steam, and has a demo available, showing a slice of the final game. It was featured as part of this viral YouTube video by Iron Pineapple, and players can also follow the game on YouTube and on the official website.
