Bright Souls
Bright Souls
Bright Souls is a casual 2D top-down mobile game directly inspired by the Dark Souls series. It reinterprets the characters, settings, and combat mechanics into a strategy-action game where players must recruit soldiers, form squads, and defend strongholds against waves of enemies. Players collect gold and treasures to liberate fortresses, recover units, and recruit new allies, while defeating enemies grants souls that upgrade their squad. Unlike its source material, the game features a colorful and vibrant aesthetic with an upbeat soundtrack.
