Kristala, an upcoming action-RPG Soulslike that has you playing as a humanoid cat, has an early access release date pencilled in for next week.
Announced just earlier today, Kristala will be arriving on Steam Early Access next week on June 6 and will be Steam Deck Verified from day one. You can see the announcement trailer for Kristala’s early access debut just below, and it’s a game that we just can’t help but describe as a ‘cat Soulslike.’
You’re a young feline warrior tasked with harnessing the power of six ancient Kristals scattered throughout a dark fantasy land, and that apparently involves beating the crap out of a lot of what look like humanoid rats. These enemies were apparently once docile, but some strange curse has turned them into bloodthirsty beasts, and you need to find out why.
You can easily see why Kristala can be described as a Soulslike from the trailer above, but perhaps a better comparison would be Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. The upcoming early access game employs a lot of the same traversal elementsFromSoftware’s action game did, like effortlessly gliding across tightropes and dropping onto enemies above for a brutal stealth kill.
