[Argentina] – September 3rd, 2026 – Nearly every hack-and-slash asks whether you survived the fight. SoulQuest asks how you looked doing it. Out now on Nintendo Switch, the side-scrolling spectacle fighter from SoulBlade Studio, published by indie.io, scores every encounter on a scale from a shameful F to the coveted SSS, which turns a room full of enemies into something closer to a performance than an obstacle. This is the game’s first appearance on console, following a Steam launch in May that has held a Very Positive player rating ever since.

Reaching SSS means never repeating yourself. Light and heavy attacks chain into dozens of freeform combinations, each animation flowing into the next without a break, and magic and screen-clearing ultimates open the routes that pure swordplay cannot. The inputs are simple enough to understand in a minute. Stringing them into something the game will actually reward takes considerably longer, and the hardest difficulties exist for players who want the gods to be a genuine problem.

The reason Alys is fighting them at all is her husband. Gwydre was the mightiest knight in the world, and he still died when Cetonia burned, and the Celtic pantheon considered the matter closed. Alys did not. In the ruins she finds Abanus, a druid who tells her the dead can be reclaimed, but only by someone prepared to take that power from Morrigan, goddess of death, in person. The road there runs the length of the British Isles, and every god on it has to be dealt with individually. Those gods are drawn from Celtic folklore and Arthurian myth, and the whole thing is rendered in pixel art and scored with a medieval-inspired soundtrack.

SoulQuest is available now on Nintendo Switch for $19.99 USD. It is also available on Steam.

[Argentina] – August 27th, 2026 – Morrigan, the goddess of death, took Alys’ husband. Alys picked up a sword and went to take him back. On September 3rd that fight reaches its first console, as SoulQuest arrives on Nintendo Switch. Developed by SoulBlade Studio and published by indie.io, the side-scrolling spectacle fighter has spent four months winning over players on Steam and now brings its story of grief, defiance, and frame-perfect violence to a new audience.

The village of Cetonia burned in a single day. Gwydre, the mightiest knight in the world, died defending it and the gods ruled the matter closed. His widow disagreed. Searching the ruins for survivors, Alys meets Abanus, a druid who tells her that souls can be pulled back from the realm of the dead, but only by someone willing to face Morrigan herself and take that power from her. Alys does not hesitate. What follows is a journey across the British Isles to confront the entire Celtic pantheon, one god at a time.

Combat is where SoulQuest makes its case. Light and heavy attacks chain into dozens of freeform combos, each animation flowing into the next without a seam, and beyond the blade sit magical abilities and screen-clearing ultimates that let every player build a style of their own. It is easy to pick up and genuinely difficult to master. Enemies arrive in relentless waves and the game grades the response on a scale from a shameful F to the coveted SSS, turning survival into performance and rewarding the players who treat a crowded arena as choreography rather than a chore.

Underneath the violence is a world built from Celtic folklore and Arthurian myth, rendered in crisp pixel art and scored with a medieval-inspired soundtrack. Every location is drawn from the real geography of the British Isles and every boss is a name someone once prayed to.

That combination has landed. SoulQuest holds a Very Positive rating on Steam, where players have singled out the depth of the combo system and the strength of Alys’ story.Ready to take up the blade and throw down the gauntlet to the goddess of death? SoulQuest arrives on Nintendo Switch on September 3rd, and is available now on Steam.
