TIME SOUL is a Souls-like game that screams action with platforming mechanics and unique, generative worlds. Developed by Kubrick, this game is intense with its combination of Souls mechanics, bullet-hell sequences, and an aggressive platforming design for players to master. 

TIME SOUL puts you in a randomized world with an abstract yet dynamic tower you are ought to climb. Defeat the 5 Time Guardians and collect powerful clocks that control the world before you face the Timelord. The game revolves around time, the randomized 300+ items, 50+ weapons, and spells.

Climb the Tower of Time 

In TIME SOUL, you are a time traveler, you’re tasked to beat the owner of time itself and to do that, you must find and defeat the 5 Time Guardians to claim the clocks they protect with their life. The game’s story is simple, giving players a quest to ascend and beat the game. However, the game’s overworld can be a bit empty, which can be boring for some. 

The tower you climb is one-dimensional. It's a straight shot to the top, and along the way, you meet allies that help you gain upgrades or items necessary for your climb. The world is uniquely generated to deliver new experiences for players each playtime. While the game markets itself as Souls-like, aside from the stats and the boss fights, it does not have many mobs to stop your progress. 

The game features a vibrant and glossy aesthetic that matches the mystical tone of the game. However, the game’s vibrance can be a bit too much for some, as the map, character designs, and items can be extravagant, especially for new players. Moreover, the stats and goals are not explained, which can be confusing for some players, especially for those who are new.

A challenging climb through time 

TIME SOUL blends Souls-like combat with bullet-hell elements and procedural generation, offering a unique yet challenging experience. Its focus on climbing the Tower of Time and defeating Time Guardians delivers a fresh take on action games. While the overworld may feel sparse and its mechanics overwhelming for newcomers, the game’s generative design and visually stunning aesthetics make it a thrilling journey for dedicated players.
