Customization

Players can improve their weapons and skills, creating a sense of progress. There are four varieties of weaponry (single-handed sword, greatsword, scythe, and gun-sword) with varying battle tactics.

Weapon attachments dropped by bosses or elite enemies improve stats and performance while also changing the weapon’s look.

Character development occurs through a talent tree, which unlocks new skills and improves existing ones.

Weapon accessories and special upgrade items obtained by defeating bosses/elite monsters provide basic attribute increases.

Players can create potions with a variety of benefits, including healing and combat bonuses. The game has several cosmetic skins for the protagonist, with more available as pre-order incentives. Key NPCs have distinct, custom-designed appearances.

Game Insights from Yang Bing

Yang Bing, the creator of Lost Soul Aside, also shared that the game’s serious development started in mid-2021.

His health was really impacted during the making of the game and this title is going to be an AA.

The game has 120 minutes of cutscenes, combining Wuxia fantasy elements with a Final Fantasy 7 Remake-style town with stores and NPCs—more than a Devil May Cry 5 clone.

Despite Chinese gamers’ interest, some demo players complained about the game’s shoddy animations and combat, raising questions about its $60 AAA price tag.
