Crossing Souls: get reminded why the 80’s were totally rad!

If you’ve ever felt nostalgic for the good old days of fluoro and big hair then do we have the game for you! Crossing Souls, an upcoming action-adventure video game in development by Spain-based indie studio Fourattic and publisher Devolver Digital is now in its final stage after a successful Kickstarter campaign back in 2014.

Controlling five characters: Chris, Matt, Charlie, Big Joe and Kevin, each has their own unique skills and combat style. Fight in real-time combats, solve diverse puzzles, beat powerful bosses and play special levels inspired by 80’s arcade videogames – so get ready because you’ll finally be putting your Frogger and Pac-Man skills to the test it seems.

It’s 1986 in California, a group of friends discover a mysterious pink stone that allows to travel between two realms. This gang will live the summer of their lives in an adventure that will get them involved in a government conspiracy. Control five kids with specials skills while fighting and solving puzzles in order to save their families and the world.

Whilst the Crossing Souls video game itself has been in development for the last few years, its great to see that after much waiting by its dedicated and patient backers there’s finally a release date announced of February 13th 2018 (yes that’s less than a couple of weeks!)  along with a behind the scenes video which has just been released giving you all the insight into the process that has gone into making this wonderful little indie title.
