Garden Souls brings stylish combo action to the roguelite genre with fast-paced combat and endless build possibilities
From the creators of the acclaimed Pocket Bravery, Garden Souls introduces an action roguelite where every run becomes a new combat experiment.
The Brazilian developer behind Pocket Bravery, a fighting game recognized with a nomination at The Game Awards, has officially unveiled Garden Souls, a fast-paced action roguelite centered around stylish combat, creative combo systems and deep build customization.
In Garden Souls, players take control of four resurrected Plant Princesses chosen to stop the corruption spreading through the world by the mysterious Mandragora. Every expedition takes players through procedurally generated biomes filled with enemies, elite encounters and powerful bosses, while constantly rewarding experimentation through new abilities, elemental upgrades and permanent progression
Unlike traditional roguelites, Garden Souls places combat at the center of the experience. Players unlock new special moves during each run, combine six elemental affinities, recruit Bombogs, summon powerful Strikers and chain together stylish aerial and ground combos using an advanced cancel system inspired by character action and fighting games
Every run offers meaningful choices. With dozens of abilities, companions, summons and upgrades available—but only a limited selection obtainable in each playthrough—players are encouraged to experiment with new builds every time they enter the Portal. Permanent progression between runs expands customization even further while preserving the excitement of discovering new combinations
Garden Souls blends colorful fantasy with explosive action, creating a distinctive identity where charming heroes unleash devastating attacks through visually spectacular combat. Inspired by titles such as Hades II, BlazBlue Entropy Effect, Spiritfall, Devil May Cry, and Hollow Knight, the game aims to deliver satisfying combat depth without sacrificing accessibility.
“Cute heroes. Stylish combat. Endless builds.”
