The gaming world is about to witness an innovative fusion of cooperative gameplay and Soulslike challenge with Soul Chained. Inspired by the chain mechanics of Chained Together, this upcoming title adds a dark fantasy RPG twist where players must work together while physically bound by an unbreakable chain.

Much like its inspiration Chained Together, the game requires perfect synchronization between players to navigate treacherous environments. However, Soul Chained elevates the concept by introducing intense combat scenarios against formidable enemies and bosses that demand strategic use of the chain.

Cooperative games have always thrived on creating memorable shared experiences, from the kitchen chaos of Overcooked to the emotional journey of A Way Out. Soul Chained joins this tradition with a unique premise: two rival warlords, condemned to Purgatory, must overcome their differences and work together to ascend to the afterlife.

Solo developer Kyroware describes the gameplay as "creative and chaotic," where the chain becomes both a tool and an obstacle. Players can use it to swing across gaps, pull each other to safety, or even employ it in combat to trip enemies and execute coordinated attacks. The developer emphasizes that communication will be crucial to survival in this unforgiving world.

The game promises authentic Soulslike combat mechanics, focusing on precision strikes, careful positioning, and tactical use of the environment. While challenging, Kyroware assures players the combat system offers deep satisfaction for those who master its intricacies. Players will face six deadly trials representing the warlords' past sins, each requiring innovative use of their chained condition.
