Soul Chained Launches on Steam After Naked Boss Delay
Soul Chained finally cleared the Steam review that had blocked it over a naked boss, ending a delay that left the release date undetermined and putting the co-op Souls-like on sale at launch.
Reporting from 1 source: Game Spark.
Kyroware Games released co-op Souls-like action game Soul Chained on Steam. Players are chained to a former enemy and wander purgatory, with the chain serving as both a hindrance and a weapon for tripping bosses. The game was delayed in August after Steam review flagged a naked boss despite mosaic censoring. It now passed review and launched. It costs 905 yen, with a 30% discount to 633 yen until September 22.
The developer said the release caps more than two years of sleepless nights, endless coffee, and nights spent haunted by bug nightmares. The game's chain physics let players trip bosses and fling enemies, alongside Souls-like combat and stamina management. Havoc Mode chains up to four players together; single player comes with an iron ball on the chain. The game includes jiggle physics applied equally to everyone and what the developer calls unfortunate graphics. Wishlist registrations reached 63,000 before launch.
