About Wayward Souls

Wayward Souls is a randomly generated action-RPG with a heavy focus on story. Play as seven different heroes, all with their own abilities and playstyles. Fight through steadily greater hordes of enemies, as you learn about each character and find out what happened in the cursed tower you find yourself in. Greatly inspired by 90's era action-RPG's, but with a faster pace and a focus on randomized replay value.

Hero Characters and Abilities

Renee uses her mobility to dash through enemies. Her Power Attack is a kick that stuns, with effects depending on her boots. She frequently finds items that let her blind, stun, or poison enemies. All of these let her perform very damaging backstabs. Equipment and Upgrade Examples:

•

Mirage Dagger randomly gives her short bursts of stealth during her dashes.

•

Giantstomper Boots upgrade her kicks to send enemies flying far back. Flung enemies will then damage and stun enemies they crash into. The Giantstompers also interrupt larger enemies that are stun resistant.

•

Toadskin Cowters poison enemies that hit her, stunning them after a few seconds.

•

Her Low Blow Upgrade permanently makes it so defeating large enemies will make her next dagger attack stun whatever she hits, even if her slash hits multiple enemies.

Blythe combines durability with a big sword that cleaves a wide area. He has a shield to block enemy attacks, and throwing axes for when he needs a faster or more long ranged option than his sword provides.

•

Duskhander Sword replaces his default Power Attack's charging slash with a whirlwind spin, hitting enemies over a larger area.

•

Magebane Gauntlets reduces the damage of enemy spells, while making his throwing axes destroy any enemy spell they pass through.

•

Stonebeard Slab is much more durable than the default shield, but makes him move very slowly when holding the shield out to block.

•

Drakefire Oil is an item the Warrior can use to make all his sword swings emit a traveling wave of flame, for a limited time.

Abbie has long ranged magic attacks that do heavy damage. Her Power Attack uses her staff for shots that are longer range and pierce multiple enemies. In a tough situation, she has limited use spells for both offense and defense.

•

Salamander's Breath Staff turns her magical shots into bursts of flame that pierce even more enemies, but have very short range.

•

Tremor Garb gives her a powerful footstomp that creates a shockwave to stun enemies and destroy enemy projectiles.

•

Manablade Arts lets her summon a sword that does high damage, interrupts enemy attacks, can reflect enemy spells, and has a small chance to stun.

•

The Mage can find powerful one use scrolls such as Fireball or Lightning Bolt, which inflict massive damage and stun to multiple enemies.

The fallen Paladin, who has overpowering magic and physical attacks, but has limited options for healing damage he sustains.
