About This Game
Reach out and connect.
Drop into the shoes of Lynn, a new arrival in The Barclay Reserve a hub connecting dreamers together, which has been taken over by the Soul King. He holds each dreamer in his grip, submerging them deep into layers of dream or nightmare in order to harvest their power for himself. Lynn must break each dreamer free of their chains by delving into their personal dreamscape, fighting the ferocious minions of the Soul King to reach the mind at the core of the dream.
Each dreamer you free loosens the Soul King's iron grip, so maybe with enough effort you'll be able to shake the Reserve free of his grasp and defeat him once and for all.
Each dream is guarded not only by the Soul King's minions, but also by a wall of death that pursues you every step of the way. Outrun it, or die and try again.
Levels are clear and readable, creating direction through nearly every map. Enemies stick out from their environment and hurl dodgeable projectile attacks.
A Unique layered soundtrack ebbs and flows with you as you progress through dreams composed specifically for Soul King by the talented Brandon Calhoun.
Explore the Barclay Reserve a hub world that connects dreamers. Find secrets, stories, your next battlefield, or swap your gear out for something more powerful.
The Gauntlet provides a remix experience of the Soul King maps you've grown to love (and sometimes hate) providing both on-demand remixed levels as well as a weekly competitive remix that allows you to compete with other players for leaderboard placement. Each of these generated levels includes all-new finales with challenge-focused final maps that are sure to push your skills and our tools to the max, as well as small story connections that hint at what may be in store for Lynn in her next quest.
