On the 10th, Brazilian indie developer Statera Studio announced the official reveal of its new high-speed action roguelite, Soul of the Garden, on Steam. Statera Studio is known for developing the critically acclaimed, The Game Awards-nominated fighting game, Pocket Bravery.

Soul of the Garden is an action roguelite centered on fast-paced action, stylish combat, a creative combo system, and deep build customization. It features flashy combos, elemental magic, and the ability to combine allies and strikers to fight with a fresh build in every run.

In Soul of the Garden, players control four resurrected Flower Princesses on a journey to stop the corruption of the world spread by the mysterious entity, Mandragora. Each expedition leads through procedurally generated biomes, where players face numerous enemies, elite encounters, and powerful bosses. New abilities, elemental enhancements, and permanent progression elements encourage players to constantly experiment with new combat styles.

Unlike traditional roguelites, Soul of the Garden places combat at the heart of the experience. In each run, players can unlock new special skills, combine six elemental attributes, recruit allies, and summon powerful strikers. Furthermore, by utilizing an advanced cancel system inspired by character action and fighting games, players can seamlessly chain ground and aerial combos to unleash stylish, continuous attacks.

Every run presents meaningful choices. While dozens of abilities, allies, summons, and upgrades are available, the options obtainable in a single run are limited. Consequently, players are encouraged to experiment with new builds every time they enter a portal. A permanent progression system between runs further expands the scope of customization, ensuring the fun of discovering new combinations remains fresh.

Soul of the Garden combines a colorful fantasy world with explosive action to create a unique identity. Charming heroes unleash powerful attacks amidst flashy combat visuals. The game draws inspiration from titles such as Hades II, BlazBlue Entropy Effect, Spiritfall, Devil May Cry, and Hollow Knight, aiming to provide satisfying combat depth without sacrificing accessibility.

Statera Studio is dedicated to creating gaming experiences with deep mechanics and a strong visual identity. With Soul of the Garden, the studio plans to extend its strengths in responsive combat, expressive gameplay, and polished mechanics into the action roguelite genre.
