One classic element that the game misses out on when it comes to enemies are boss fights.

There is one enemy that is a torso hanging from a drip stand and it attacks with bladed walkers on its arms. Enemies are often rotting humans that are melded with hospital gear. The enemies you’ll face are quite creative and unique in their overall look. This is truly a game where you have to conserve ammo or you might not have enough later on. You have to find audio reels in order to save you game at audio players. Resource management plays a big role in Tormented Souls. The game has some unique weapons in it – you don’t get the usual handgun, shotgun or magnum, but instead you get weapons with as much power as them that look way different (such as a nail gun that works much like a handgun).

Thankfully, the game has the auto-aim feature that you’ll find in classic survival horrors, so Caroline will immediately aim at an enemy that is near her. Your view is limited thanks to the fixed camera angles, so enemies can be waiting offscreen at times. The mansion is partially a hospital, so the residence makes a perfect setting for horror. Many rooms are filled with horrific sights such as squishy organs lying on the ground and dead bodies lying on beds. The environments in this game look fantastic. Starting out, you only carry a lighter, which can’t be equipped along with a weapon, so you’re stuck with either one or the other and the game knows this all too well since it will put enemies in dark areas, but there is often a candle around to light so that you can face them in combat. Caroline can’t survive for long in the dark since she will start to lose sanity, so you must make use of your lighting resources in dark areas or find some way to turn on the lights or light nearby candles. The lighting effects can get really nice in some areas. This game uses darkness and overall lighting quite well. Aiming and firing is done with the trigger buttons (hold LT and use RT to fire) and you can also use the A button to fire sort of like a classic setup. The game has both tank controls (d-pad) and 3D controls (Left thumbstick). Even with all the classic elements, the game still has modern controls if you wish to play with them. Just about anything that you can remember from classic horror titles is in Tormented Souls. If you’re an old-school survival horror fan, this game was made for you! It has just about everything that you can find in a classic horror game. Caroline must fight for her life against the horrors that lurk in the dark while trying to escape the mansion and find out what happened to the twins that were in the photo that was given to her. Once there, she gets knocked out and wakes up naked in a bathtub while hooked up to a ventilator. Caroline goes to a mansion in search of some twin girls. Players take on the role of Caroline Walker. The game is highly inspired by older survival horrors such as Resident Evil, Silent Hill, and Alone in the Dark. Tormented Souls is a third person survival horror developed by Dual Effect and Abstract Digital and published by PQube.

Tormented Souls brings back those feelings rather well. Remember back when our resources were more limited in survival horror games? It made the whole experience scary and tense when you couldn’t save a game when you wanted to or when you had to conserve ammo or healing items because you wasted too much on the last enemy and the upcoming resources were very low in supply.
