The game's dark, pixel-art visuals combined with a captivating synthwave soundtrack create a unique and immersive atmosphere.
Gameplay mechanics like bullet time, shields as platforms, and directional aiming offer tactical depth and variety in combat.
The game is challenging yet rewarding, with responsive controls (especially on controllers) and polished UI enhancing the experience.

Control schemes need improvement, particularly on keyboard, with some players finding them confusing or clunky.
The demo/prologue is very short with limited levels, which restricts full immersion and variety; some boss fights can feel repetitive.
Minor bugs and technical issues (e.g., camera problems, occasional stutters, unclear tutorials) detract from the overall experience.

The gameplay features familiar mechanics like double jump, dash, and shooting, all well-implemented to create a responsive and enjoyable experience. While not highly original, the game offers smooth controls, engaging combat options, and a good balance of challenge, with potential for deeper gameplay as development progresses.
- “Whilst not the most original-feeling game in the world, the mechanics all work well together and the game is responsive and fun to play.”
- “The game was very smooth and although it was easy to jump into, as far as learning the mechanics, the game challenges you and makes you want to try so many different things to beat each level.”
- “Gameplay is platformer basic, at least at the moment: run, jump, shoot, with wall- and double-jumping and limited jetpack and slow-motion abilities.”
- “This recommendation is conditional on that, and on the devs adding in more actual gameplay; if Lost Souls sits in dev hell forever, I may well change my mind.”
- “The two levels were about 5-15 each but I played them multiple times trying to see how I could use the shield, rocket boost, and shooting mechanic in different ways.”
