Lost Soul Aside Showcases Full Weapon Arsenal in New Trailer Ahead of August Launch
As the long-awaited release of Lost Soul Aside approaches this August, developer UltiZero Games has released a new trailer highlighting the game’s full array of weaponry, further building excitement for what promises to be one of the year's standout action RPGs. The video, available now on YouTube, introduces players to the various combat tools at their disposal and offers a deeper look into the game’s fluid, combo-driven battle mechanics.
The trailer reveals four distinct weapon types that players can wield throughout the game, each with its own tactical advantages and role in combat. The standard sword enables fast, agile strikes ideal for maintaining pressure and quick counters. The greatsword, in contrast, trades speed for power, delivering heavy, earth-shaking blows capable of staggering enemies. The poleblade serves as a mid-range option, designed to unleash a flurry of piercing attacks with graceful reach and high mobility. Rounding out the arsenal is the scythe, a weapon that excels in wide-area control and finesse-based engagements, offering precision and reach in equal measure.
One of the standout mechanics demonstrated in the trailer is seamless weapon switching during combat, allowing players to string together combos across different weapon types. This dynamic feature enables players to, for instance, launch enemies into the air with one weapon and finish the combo with another, introducing an extra layer of depth and strategic flexibility to each encounter.
Customization and progression play a central role in shaping the player's experience. Weapons can be enhanced using weapon fragments, collectible items scattered throughout the game world. These fragments not only improve damage output and utility but also alter the visual appearance of the weapons and modify Kaser’s fighting style. Players are encouraged to experiment with different combinations of fragments to uncover unique synergies that suit their preferred combat approach.
While heavily influenced by titles like Devil May Cry and Bayonetta, Lost Soul Aside integrates meaningful RPG mechanics to complement its action-focused gameplay. Through an expansive Skill Tree, protagonist Kaser unlocks new abilities and buffs, including improved damage, health regeneration, and defensive skills. In addition, precise timing during combo executions will grant access to high-impact burst attacks, enhancing combat with cinematic flourishes and tactical impact.
A key feature of the gameplay loop is the Fusion Gauge, a system that fills through consecutive attacks and abilities, eventually allowing Kaser to summon Arena, a powerful dragon-like companion. Once summoned, Arena can unleash devastating claw strikes and unlock new combat techniques, evolving further as the story progresses.
Lost Soul Aside wears its inspirations proudly, but its combination of real-time combat, tactical versatility, RPG customization, and visual spectacle marks it as a title with a distinctive identity. With its sleek art direction, tight gameplay systems, and commitment to delivering a complete experience, Lost Soul Aside is poised to be a standout entry in the action RPG genre this year.
