A souls-like that lets you learn

Exciting boss fights, a combat system of its own, and builds you shape yourself.

Boss fights worth dying for

Real-time duels against bosses built to be exciting and fun. Big, readable attacks, phases that change the fight, and a rhythm you learn a little more with every try.

A gameplay of its own

Class-switch combos and type-combination combos. Swap Pokémon mid-fight to chain attacks and stack elements: Grass then Fire gives Blaze, Fire then Water gives Steam. We keep experimenting on this part, and it is the one we love most.

Shape your build with items

Vitamins, rare candies and TMs let you fine-tune each Pokémon: more damage here, more health there, a new move that fits its type. Same team, very different builds.

Evolution is earned

No automatic evolution every level. It is rare, spectacular, and it changes how you play your Pokémon.

One region per chapter

PokéSouls is told in five chapters, one for each region. Kanto is playable, Johto is being built now. The other three stay locked until their turn.
