Ember Souls Hands-On: VR Hack-And-Slash With A Magic Twist
Ember Souls: A VR Hack-and-Slash Adventure Preview
Ember Souls is an upcoming VR hack-and-slash game inspired by Assassin's Creed and Prince of Persia. Revealed at the UploadVR Summer Showcase in June, the game features parkour, climbing, and environmental puzzles as you play the last Immortal on a quest to defeat the Shadow Sultan. With 20 weapons and magical abilities granted by "ember stones," the game offers unique combat mechanics.
Developed by VirtualAge, known for Guardians Frontline, Ember Souls was demoed at Gamescom 2024 on Quest 3. The preview included guided segments and showcased parkour elements, environmental traps, and basic combat. Although the hack-and-slash mechanics felt familiar, the ember stones introduce innovative abilities like wind powers, enhancing both navigation and combat.
While not the most groundbreaking VR hack-and-slash seen, Ember Souls shows promise for its blend of VR action and elemental powers. The game will be available on the Meta Quest platform and Steam soon.
