Soul Chained

About Soul Chained

Soul Chained is a co-op action-adventure game in which two souls bound by chains climb a tower in purgatory together.

Soul Chained is a co-op action-adventure game made by the UK indie developer Kyroware Games, supporting up to four players online or in local multiplayer, as well as solo play. You play as two rival lords whose souls are chained together forever in purgatory; they must set aside their feud and cooperate to climb a two-kilometer-high mega tower, pass five trials (each tied to a sin: pillage, slavery, scorched earth, totalitarianism, and death), and ascend into the afterlife. The core mechanic is a chain physics system: in combat you can use the chain as a weapon to trip, bind, and swing at enemies, or use it to swing across terrain; however, dodging in the opposite direction makes your character stumble and fall, so communication and coordination between teammates are the key to clearing the game. It includes a light RPG progression and equipment system, takes about 8 to 10 hours to complete, and offers Normal and Hard difficulties. Combat follows the melee-and-stamina management style of Souls-like games, and the content includes gore effects and brief mosaic-censored nudity. The game is coming to Steam, with full release targeted for Q4 2025; a friend pass for free online co-op will be included at launch.
