But one day, he disappeared under very odd circumstances. While searching desperately for him, the duo found a hidden cellar and the Moon Gate portal, transporting them to a dangerous parallel world where goblins thrive. Your adventure begins as you fight to bridge these two very different worlds.

    Young Souls is a gorgeous 2D brawler meets story-rich action RPG. Fight hordes of belligerent goblins, level up with hundreds of weapons and accessories, explore, and journey between worlds, as rebellious twins battle their way to save their foster father.    … Expand

    Young Souls isn’t just one of the best indie games on Stadia, it’s one of the best indie games of 2021. A pitch-perfect side scroller that barely puts a foot wrong, this is one game you don’t want to miss out on.

    As the kind-hearted Professor learned, give Jenn and Tristan a chance, and they’ll impress you in more ways than one. Young Souls is an exceptional adventure you shouldn’t miss if you’re searching for the next great game to tackle with a friend or want a quality RPG brawler to dig into alone.

    Overall, Young Souls feels like a more mature cartoon in video game form, in a good way. It features two strong gameplay loops with satisfying elements and feedback. While there were some gameplay decisions that I wish were different, Young Souls is a solid package. Also as a note, it ran smoothly via Stadia, which was actually my first experience with the platform. All in all, Young Souls is a video game experience that is more than it first appears, and should not be overlooked.

    Young Souls is a beautiful-looking game with challenging combat, but it does not have enough variety to keep it interesting when you're having to put up with multiple crashes and glitches.

Where technical issues prevail, a well written story, funny dialogue, addictive gameplay and a beautiful art style make up for it. I have yet to 100% it but I'm sure its only a few days until I can consider that done. Bravo to the two devs for creating this gem on one of the most underrated platforms.… Expand

    Sometimes games come out. Sometimes they're not as bad as you fear they will be. Sometimes they're good. This seems to be one of those last kind.

    Young Souls est un véritable coup de coeur, et même un sacré coup de poing. Pour un premier jeu vidéo, les français de 1P2P Studio ont frappéYoung Souls est un véritable coup de coeur, et même un sacré coup de poing. Pour un premier jeu vidéo, les français de 1P2P Studio ont frappé fort ! Leur bébé est une petite perle qui mélange le meilleur du beat them all avec une structure de dungeon crawler maîtrisée et des éléments de jeux de rôle équilibrés. On ne voit pas les heures passer dans le monde souterrain, embarqué par une histoire prenante et un système de combat tout simplement jouissif. On sourit même bien volontiers, malgré les coups reçus, au détour des nombreux dialogues parfois drôles, parfois cinglants. C’est frais, c’est beau, c’est redoutable d’efficacité. Bref, vous l’aurez compris, on ne va pas prendre de gants : on vous conseille de sauter sur Young Souls sans hésiter.… Expand
