There cutscenes are surprisingly frequent for a game such as this, used for both narrative and just to showcase action moments. There are a few predictable twists, and on the whole the writing is average at best, but it doesn't bog down the game too much. On the surface it may seem like there's a lot going on, but the narrative is actually rather straightforward, with occasional memory chapters that provide reveals about the two sisters' lives and how they ended up as warriors. And last but not least, Briar has some of the chaos-corrupted blood in her, in a constant struggle to prevent it from taking her soul over. Players will also occasionally meet with their handler, an observer named Layton who also acts as the vendor for supplies. The other warriors are nowhere to be found, and only some brief encounters with Donovan, a warrior who does not have a Shade, provide insight into what happened in the city. Together, they enter the city and begin fighting their way to the Tear in the sky, hoping along the way to meet more fellow Chimeras that have also been dispatched.īut things do not go according to plan, as you can expect.

Briar is a Chimera, which means she has supernatural abilities and is soul bound with a Shade – a ghost named Lute, who also happens to be her sister.

Players assume the role of Briar, a young woman who has been sent by The Order to put an end to this problem. Agents of Chaos and Wraiths then killed or took over local humans, and destroyed much of the land in the process. In this mysterious land, where evil and chaos were once sealed off, a Tear has opened above the city of Ilden. But the goal of the adventure is far more immediate. Soulstice opens with a bit of an unnecessary lore dump, telling the players about the world and its history.
