The humor in Stressed Soul is what caught out most for me when enjoying at The Combine at GDC, the place the narration usually picked enjoyable on the developer and the sport itself, mentioning that the sport wanted to have aims, as in any other case it will simply be too quick. You want to get again to the lifetime of the residing, however so is a gang of different souls who additionally need to cease you in your tracks. Doesn’t imply the sport will cease teasing everybody throughout your severe quest to return to life.
The fights are additionally tough, with tons of bullets to dodge as you’d anticipate in a bullet hell, however new to me are the 2D and 3D factors of view of lots of the battles, which deliver a brand new degree of problem into the sport. There are many instances the place you do have to keep away from bullets, typically in locations and different instances from enemies, however that’s simply part of the sport – and you’ll all the time shoot again too!
