The Soul description

Beautiful but labouredly and at its core very simple Korean Sitemap.

In-game texts in Korean, so the plot really is impossible to understand. What is clear is that the five heroes, two warriors, a girl, a boy and a man fight against a huge angry man in Golden armor and with Golden long hair, wielding the magic, and his minions.

Before the game, you can choose any of the five heroes as the protagonist. The whole point is to ensure that the first "action scene" (the game engine), where all five heroes are anything to go by, then show their opponents with whom they go to battle; then starts the level, where previously shown against all opponents has been one hero - the one you chose at the start. The health of a character more or less, but the opponents a decent amount, they are pushing the crowd, and the ability to heal during combat, it appears not. The hero knows a few tricks, of course, is armed (with weapons is all different: the old man and the boy walking sticks, men's sabre...), can jump; there is some scrolling of the screen.

Graphically it looks very nice: the graphics are drawn, is actually 2D, but the style is not anime. Entourage is more reminiscent of classic Asian fantasy, but opponents - mostly armed with various weapons soldiers, for some reason associated with Iljinskoe war. Everything else - the game is surprisingly rare. So, perhaps, in front of us and not a hit, but very "hard" bitmap, which is quite a worth playing for any fan of the subgenre.
