Grapple Souls

I wanted to see if I could capture the deliberate, punishing combat that makes these games work. This isn't a sprawling 100 hour RPG. It's a small, focused slice of a world that doesn't care if you live or die. If you miss slowly opening doors like an anime character, you'll love this.

About the Game

Grapple souls is a dark fantasy action RPG built on a foundation of rigid mechanical constraints and opaque narrative progression. It features a high difficulty curve, punishing combat system, and a lack of explicit guidance. In this game, you navigate throughout the castle of the nameseekers, going on an epic adventure in order to make a name for yourself. Navigate through the souls-like environment and immerse yourself in the battles on your path. Only by sheer courage and determination, will you be able to face your demons head-on, and rise to the top.

Now, you must find out yourself, what the cost of being the very best is.
