Lost Soul Aside

Kaser and his dragon weapon

Released on 29 August 2025 on PS5 according to the French PlayStation Store and on 28 August 2025 on PC according to Steam, Lost Soul Aside follows Kaser and Arena, a dragon creature that transforms into weapons. It focuses on fast combo-based combat, perfect dodges and big bosses. It began as a single developer's project before being supported by Sony's China Hero Project.

What the press says

On PS5, Push Square (6/10) praises an intricate combat system, some great boss fights, lots of room for expression, a cool weapon selection and a rich, varied soundtrack, but criticises a generic story, very dull characters, attacks that lack weight, later foes that are a slog, performance hiccups and a companion who never shuts up. PlayStation Universe (5/10) finds the combat enjoyable, the bosses epic and the soundtrack often excellent, but calls the game outdated, uninspired and technically messy.

Who is it for?

Fans of combo-driven action games who care more about combat than story. Players expecting a polished story or flawless technical performance may be disappointed.
