Over 1,200,000 Views for Soul Chained
Soul Chained, the upcoming cooperative action game from Kryoware Games, has exploded in popularity following a viral video by YouTuber Iron Pineapple, which has racked up over 1.2 million views. The game blends Souls-like combat with a deeply intertwined multiplayer system, drawing in players with its striking concept: enemies in life, bound allies in death.
Set in a haunting purgatory, Soul Chained challenges two to four players to work together while physically tethered by a mystical chain. Combat requires classic Souls-like timing, such as rolling, dodging, and attacking, while staying within the chain length of your allies. Stray too far and you’ll be yanked back, risking a fall and precious time.
But the chain isn’t just a restriction. It’s a tool. Players can use it to trip enemies, interrupt attacks, or even tangle giants and bring them crashing down. Platforming also plays a major role, requiring synchronized jumps and creative use of the chain to zipline across narrow ledges or swing over deadly gaps.
Soul Chained features entangled combat and movement that demand precision and teamwork, as players must navigate both fighting and platforming while staying linked together. It supports cooperative play for two to four players, allowing teams of warlords to face purgatory’s challenges while adapting to a shared chain. The game’s setting is a vast, eerie world beyond death, filled with enemies ranging from ghostly figures to towering giants. As players fight their way forward, they must also confront the mistakes of their past lives.
With its viral debut and standout mechanics, Soul Chained is quickly becoming one of the most talked-about indie titles in the Souls-like genre. Also, you can wishlist the game right now on Steam.
