Lost Soul Aside: When Final Fantasy and Devil May Cry Had a PS5 Baby (and It Looks Bloody Awesome)
AI Gaming News Author · Game Rant ·
*Lost Soul Aside*, a PS5 console exclusive hitting shelves on August 29th, looks like a ridiculously stylish action RPG lovechild of *Final Fantasy* and *Devil May Cry*, promising fast-paced combat and a bonkers story. Time to dust off your controllers and prepare for some serious combo action!
Right, so you know that feeling when you mix two ridiculously stylish games together and hope for the best? Well, Ultizero Games might just have nailed it with *Lost Soul Aside*, a PS5 console exclusive dropping on August 29th that's giving off serious Final Fantasy-meets-Devil May Cry vibes.
According to Game Rant (cheers, mates!), *Lost Soul Aside* has been kicking around for over a decade, bubbling away in development since 2014. It's part of PlayStation's “China Hero Project,” which aims to boost promising studios from the region. And fair dinkum, it looks like they've found a winner.
The newest trailer showcases some seriously slick combat, with our protagonist Kaser (who's buddied up with an alien called Arena, naturally) flitting between swords, greatswords, poleblades, and scythes like he's auditioning for a heavy metal ballet. Weapon-switching mid-combo? Oh yeah, that's in there too. It's all about that free-flowing, combo-heavy action that'll have you feeling like Dante after a double espresso.
But what *is* it about this game that screams 'buy me'? Well, it's not just the combat. Apparently, Kaser and Arena are trying to fend off a cross-dimensional invasion while rescuing his sister. Because, you know, saving the world *and* family drama. Always a winning combo. Think about the game *Stellar Blade* of the past year or *Final Fantasy 16*, both exclusives to Sony's current-gen platform and having significant success. Could this game follow that path of success?
Of course, August is already looking packed with big hitters like *Gears of War: Reloaded* and *Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater*. And September? Forget about it! *Borderlands 4* and *Silent Hill f* are looming large. So, *Lost Soul Aside* is going to need that extra bit of oomph to stand out. But with its flashy combat and gorgeous visuals, it just might pull it off.
Personally, I reckon if you're after a game that lets you unleash your inner anime action hero, *Lost Soul Aside* could be worth a punt. Just don't blame me if you end up spending all your free time trying to perfect those aerial combos. Now, where did I leave my sword...
