"Lost Soul Aside, a fresh action RPG resembling Final Fantasy, is being seen as "accidentally humorous" by players, softening the blow of its Mixed ratings on Steam"
Lost Soul Aside, a game initially developed by a solo artist in 2014, has been making waves in the gaming community. Despite its mixed reception, the game has garnered a unique following due to its unconventional elements.
The game's cutscenes, for instance, are not considered great, with some likening the main character's grunts during a falling scene to the sound of someone stubbing their toe. However, the impactful sound effects and background music often make everything feel awkward, adding to the game's quirky charm.
Interestingly, the unintentionally humorous cutscenes in the English dub of Lost Soul Aside are gaining acclaim, although some claim that the Japanese and Chinese dubs offer a better experience. Regarding the voice performances, they are not particularly award-winning but are not terrible either.
On the flip side, Wuchang: Fallen Feathers, a Dark Souls-inspired RPG, is facing similar challenges. Known for its classic Soulslike problem - poor performance - the game has received a significant number of negative reviews on Steam. However, the developers are addressing these issues with a new patch.
One of the most memorable scenes in Lost Soul Aside is when the main character falls off a cliffside after an explosion. This scene, only rivaled by the biker guy decking Lev in The Last of Us 2 in terms of unexpectedness, leaves players in a state of shock. Another scene worth mentioning is when a random child is booted about six feet into a stack of crates in dead silence.
Lost Soul Aside was later picked up by Sony as part of the PlayStation China Hero Project. Despite its initial humble beginnings, the game has been considered one of the funniest games of the year, offering a unique blend of action and unintentional humour.
As for the voice dubbing in Lost Soul Aside, there is no information available about who performed the English voices in the provided search results. Regardless, the game continues to captivate players with its unusual charm and humour, setting it apart from many other games in the genre.
