Lost Soul Aside Receives Underwhelming Reactions; Fans Warned To Keep Expectations Low

Expert Verified By

Players Recently Tested The Game With Hands-On Demo!

Story Highlight
  • Lost Soul Aside has received some concerning player impressions recently.
  • Despite encouraging gameplay footage, the action RPG has been criticized for its animation quality and combat.
  • It is said that the game is close to a AA project at heart with a AAA price tag.

Lost Soul Aside is one of the most notable games from a smaller studio in 2025. Following a recent delay and plenty of past excitement, fans have been looking forward to finally getting their hands on the action RPG later next month.

PlayStation has shared new gameplay for Lost Soul Aside recently, while also allowing gamers in China the chance to get hands-on time with the title. Unfortunately, it seems reactions have not been nearly as positive as many anticipated.

Why it matters: Combat-focused action games are currently experiencing a major resurgence, and Lost Soul Aside has been part of this conversation for a while.

In a Twitter thread shared by Lunatic Ignus, Lost Soul Aside is said to be more on par with AA games than AAA projects. He noted that the latest build exhibited many instances of poor animations and gameplay.

Although Lost Soul Aside was expected to be a hybrid between RPGs and action games, Lunatic Ignus claims that the game is more comparable to Final Fantasy 7 Remake than Devil May Cry.

He believes this release will not be nearly as big a success as other Chinese offerings like Black Myth: Wukong and Wuchang Fallen Feathers. In fact, the player has asked fans to keep expectations low.

Lunatic Ignus also discussed the implications of Lost Souls Aside’s pricing. The action RPG is priced close to a fully-fledged AAA release, but according to his statement, developer Bin Yang considers the title a AA project.

Although this is disappointing news, there may be a silver lining to the situation. An insider recently predicted another delay for Lost Soul Aside, so the game could receive several months of additional polish before its release.

If this prediction comes to fruition, the action RPG may be able to impress players in the future.
