- Become a Murderous Chef: Players step into the shoes of a maniac chef running a space restaurant that serves burgers made from aliens. The twist? The secret ingredient is the customers themselves.
- Daytime Gameplay: Cook delicious burgers during the day to attract different aliens. Use a meat cleaver or creative traps to eliminate customers and collect ingredients.

What free Epic Games Store game can I get now?
Despite its name and appearance, Soulstice isn’t a soulslike RPG in the same vein as Bloodborne, Elden Ring, or the newly-released Lies of P. It’s a more traditional action adventure with a focus on frenetic combat and dark fantasy. It received a mixed reception from media, sitting on a decent OpenCritic average score of 71.
- Compelling Story: The game is set in the Holy Kingdom of Keidas, which faces a threat from powerful, feral beings called “Wraiths” invading from beyond the Veil. Players follow the journey of two sisters, Briar and Lute, who are reborn as Chimera, hybrid warriors with unique abilities. The sisters must protect humankind from the Wraiths and uncover the secrets of their world.
- Dual Protagonists: Players control both sisters, Briar and Lute, simultaneously. Briar excels in melee combat with superhuman strength, while Lute possesses mystical powers. Players must master the strengths of both characters to tap into their full potential as Chimera.
- Fantasy-Inspired World: “Soulstice” offers a visually striking fantasy world filled with hidden mysteries. Players will explore a city in ruins, facing challenging puzzles and hostile environments as they progress through the story.
- Dynamic Combat System: The game features a diverse combat system. Players can execute melee attacks and combos with Briar while using Lute’s otherworldly abilities to control the battlefield. Combining the sisters’ strengths unlocks powerful transformational abilities.
- Customization: Weapons can be unlocked, upgraded, and switched on the fly, allowing players to unleash stylish and devastating combo attacks. This customization adds depth to the combat experience.
- Varied Enemies: Players will encounter different classes of enemies, including Wraiths, Corrupted, and Possessed creatures. Lute’s unique auras can be used strategically to expose or weaken these foes, ensuring that battles remain dynamic and engaging.
- Emotional Journey: The game’s narrative explores themes of sisterly love and sacrifice as Briar and Lute discover the truth about themselves and their Chimera powers. Their unbreakable bond is central to the story, adding depth to character development.
