Soul Saga: Episode 1 is an upcoming video game developed by Disastercake. Funded through Kickstarter, the game is scheduled for release for the Wii U, PlayStation Vita, PlayStation 4, and PC platforms. Disastercake states that the game is influenced by, and will play as, a Japanese role-playing video game, in the vein of Final Fantasy, Suikoden, Breath of Fire, and Persona

 

Gameplay

Soul Saga is a traditional role-playing video game in the vein of the Final Fantasy, Suikoden, Breath of Fire, and Persona video game series. Battles are initiated similarly to Chrono Trigger, where combat begins upon the player directing the character into an enemy in the world map. Once initiated, combat consists of a turn based battle system similar to Final Fantasy X. The game will also have airship battles, similar to Skies of Arcadia.

Exploration of the overworld map will also be a major aspect of gameplay, with the player being able to explore on foot similarly to Final Fantasy VII, and by airship similarly to Skies of Arcadia.

 

 

Setting

The game takes place in the world of Oterra. In it, due to a natural disaster, the world has been split into three distinct parts; the surface world, simply called Oterra, the floating islands, called Medonia, and the Tempest Rift which acts as a barrier between the other two areas. Episode 1 takes place in Medonia; where the floating islands are slowly losing their energy, and as such, ability to continue to remain afloat.

 

Characters

The game stars the main character Mithos, whose father was a great guild leader who disappeared when on the quest to defeat the king of dragons. As such, Mithos also aspires to be a great guild leader and eventually attempt to take on the job his father could not complete. He sets off on an adventure to travel the world with his best friend Elise, who is an engineer.
