The animation of the character is bang on, yet with that of the bosses things have been kicked up a notch. It puts me in mind of some of the aspects of Dead Cells, another fantastic looking retro-styled game the comparison is well-deserved. It’s a sort of top-down, isometric-type view, and the sprites of your character and the bosses are drawn in a great pixel art style. It’s the visual look that should be the next thing to comment on, and boy does Eldest Souls look good. In fact, Eldest Souls as a whole has no sort of cannon fodder enemies – if you are going to fight, it will be with massive bosses or nothing.
And guess what your job is? That’s right, God Killer-in-Chief! Grabbing your trusty Obsydian sword, it’s your job to go and introduce the pointy end to the Gods, in a boss rush-style. What you need to know here and now though, and pretty much to get going, is that all the Elder Gods have been imprisoned in a Citadel, and now, for reasons, they have to be killed. Nope, if you want to learn more about what is going on, you’ll need to seek out items in the environment to fill in the back story. We’ll deal first of all with the story of Eldest Souls and this very much follows in the Dark Souls template for story telling, with absolutely zero hand holding and spoon feeding of the narrative.
