China’s Lost Soul Aside looks like Final Fantasy XV and plays like Devil May Cry
Lost Soul Aside was a one-man project looking to be the next Final Fantasy XV
A game that plays like Devil May Cry crossed with Final Fantasy XV?
That’s what Chinese indie game Lost Soul Aside aspires to be. And we got our hands on it during this year’s ChinaJoy, the country’s biggest gaming convention.
This action-RPG game is one of the most exciting titles to emerge from Sony’s China Hero Project, a series of games that Sony is promoting from Chinese companies for the PlayStation 4.
The game, powered by Epic Games’ Unreal Engine, plays fast and looks extremely flashy, with gorgeous particle effects from every hack and slash. The blue phantom shadow that trails behind you when you roll and dodge is also impressive.
The characters, be they protagonist, minions or the bosses, are all crafted beautifully.
But the key here is gameplay, and for a game like this fluidity is very important. Lost Soul Aside didn’t disappoint here either.
