Young Souls is a fun beat ‘em up RPG full of action that can be played with one or two players. It has a fun and modern art style featuring characters that are full of personality. This is a must-grab for people who like unique gameplay and fantasy-style storytelling!

Young Souls is a solid beat-em up that intelligently adds role-playing ideas to enhance its core gameplay. The bosses are well-designed and mostly fun to fight, especially if the player wisely diversified what the pair can do. The narrative is not groundbreaking but gives players plenty of interesting moments and cool banter (again, with plenty of swearing that can be filtered out). Players should not be afraid of dropping the difficulty level if they feel the game is too hard. And experimentation, when it comes to both equipment and tactics, can solve plenty of combat puzzles. Young Souls is fast, engaging, deep enough, a good example of how a classic genre can be updated for modern sensibilities.

The game while short has some quick bursts of energy and creativity, while exploring the hollow earth you may find landscapes that can be pretty, make you feel small and always find a way to convey a message.
The gameplay is pretty polished and it's very challenging on it's own right it is rewarding when you commit to master it, the various accesories and weapons can make your own experience pretty custom. There is lot to love about this game, the character development of Jinn and Tristan with the Profesor, The goblins and their relationship with their leader.
It's a very quirky Game with it's own flaws but everything it does right sums for that, it's a short little story about self development,trust,fear, and acceptance.

Young Souls is a fun side-scrolling hack-and-slash, offering deep RPG elements, great writing, and characters you'll care about.

The player also has the possibility of settling the challenge at his convenience and at any time. Another very good point that allows you to appreciate in all circumstances the universe of Young Souls, which has been the subject of very special care despite a writing that is ultimately quite perfectible.

All in all, Young Souls is a charming coming-of-age story that veers much darker than I expected. It’s a world I was happy to lose myself in, even if the characters weren’t always happy themselves. I’d recommend it to any fan of beat ’em ups and modern fantasy. Those button-mashing minigames are incredibly frustrating, though.

Young Souls is an adventure that splits its time between brawler and RPG, with the latter part stifled, however, by the game's brevity and lack of balance. If you're interested in co-op play and you're into the more action-heavy side of things, then you might enjoy a good handful of hours with a friend.

Gorgeous and aided by satisfying combat mechanics, Young Souls is damaged by inconsistent difficulty, balance issues, bugs, and cheap boss encounters.

El juego en esencia es un muy buen beat'em up con un rendimiento pesimo en switch, lo cual es una lástima. No es un juego exigente, lo cual indica más bien la poca mano de los programadores para optimizar un juego que, por otra parte, tiene una jugabilidad muy pulida, con múltiples combinaciones de armas y equipo que varían la velocidad de nuestros ataques y/o movimiento, así como de las cosas que podemos hacer, en un juego que es muy exigente. Pero eso queda empañado por batallas, hacía el final del juego, donde los frames caen debidos a la cantidad de enemigos y efectos en pantalla (que tampoco son tantos, todo sea dicho), así como por un continuo crasheo del juego. En aproximadamente 10 horas que me duro el juego, sufrí 7 crasheos. La mayoría fueron en puntos donde apenas perdí nada, pero dos de ellos fueron cuando casi había vencido a un par de bosses, lo cual es muy molesto. El juego esta pensado para jugar en cooperativo, aunque puede ser disfrutado por un solo jugador, aunque en este caso sentí la mayoría de dificultades excesivas hacia mitad del segundo mundo (aunque también soy bastante manco en el género todo sea dicho), y el modo fácil me pareció excesivamente fácil con respecto al nivel de dificultad justo por encima (equilibrado), así que quizás seria conveniente rebalancear este o añadir otro entre medias. Quitando esto, el juego incluye algunas mecánicas de exploración y RPG (tiendas y niveles), además de una historia particularmente decente para este genero.

No one wants 2d side scrollers. They are boring and lame. I get it, you're 50 years old and you want to reclaim your childhood. This game ****. It's boring. Most of it doesn't work. The only good things are design and the 3d cut scenes. They could have made it 3d but they were too lazy or too poor. No one wants 2d side scroller.
