It wasn't engaging enough and I couldn't play more than 30 minutes at a time. The story wasn't strong enough to stand on it's own and the rest of the systems weren't enough to make up the difference. Combat plays a big roll but didn't change between the first few minutes and the last.

The game play of crossing souls reminds of a lot of old games ranging from Zelda link to the past, castelvania 4 of the Super Nintendo, Metro cross of the Amstrad 6128 and more, and it is very successful, small beug with my controller x box in the level of the forest and a There, my character was going from time to left for no reason, not obvious because you had to make jumps quite precise, I solved this problem using my PS4 controller, and to report a small prob in the translation when discussing with the characters s in the level where you go to the library, not that there are mistakes in spelling, but the sentences are poorly built of the style "you have to save the locals" but nothing very serious, fights with bosses seem difficult at first seen , but they are always the same sequence of action, once those included, we beat them very easily! crossing souls is excellent!

Crossing souls, is a small action/adventure game in pixel art that is worth the detour, we return in the years 80 with a graphic style in pixel art and cinematics in old cartoon, all accompanied by an electro/synthwave music perfectly in the spirit of the 80 's.
The gameplay will make us go through phases of platform, headache, and combat, adding a touch of exploration to find some collectibles/Easter eggs, best boss await us in this game, which looks cute, but hides a story full of rebounding and drama.
Negative point the game is extremely short (> 10h even for those who take their time), and I think that one can add to the taste of each in the category "neutral": the fights are difficult and will give the thread to be twisted.
Crossing souls will occupy you an afternoon or two before being disinstalled but will leave you very good memories of a perfectly successful game.

Wonderful, incredibly loving Game! The Controls and Performance are 1A, the Translation absolutely top, the Humour is really funny and well done And the 80 ' s Synthwave Music gives the Game a very great, nostalgic Feeling. The Cities and Places are very extensive and detailed, there are small Corners and Things to discover everywhere, Residents or figures to appeal to, the Dialogues make fun and besides the Main Characters there are even some Minor characters a little deeper Developed.
I would really say so far: So and no different Has to be a Game, because Crossing Souls really shines at all Levels. The only thing I would like to see would be free Saving, but that's really just a Trifle. Otherwise, a very warming, charming Feeling is left behind. A Game you look forward to and sit down on. With its own character in our Day and age, where there are many soulless Games with no identity of their own.
If necessary, I will expand the Review in the Future, you can look in with me if you want to get more gameplay impressions:)

Incredible combo of slasher, platformer and a puzzle game. You switch between characters, each of them has a well written personality and a unique performance. The plot is unpredictable and interesting, the game is worth to finish. The game pretends to feelretro, with this neon pixel style and music from 80s. You’ll be glad to find multiple references to pop culture there. Absolutely recommended - a great game, really.
