Soulblight is a top-down action roguelike from My Next Games. It centers on a unique "Tainting Mechanic" where personality traits, acquired through player choices, grant power. Combat is tactical, emphasizing stamina management and distance control, with an optional stealth system. Levels are procedurally generated and feature permadeath.The Tainting Mechanic encourages role-playing by rewarding actions aligned with a character's developing personality, such as benefiting from drinking if the "alcoholic" trait is chosen. These traits act as a form of progression, akin to a skill tree, as players delve deeper into the game's shattered reality. Soulblight aims to capture the spirit of pen-and-paper RPGs by making character flaws integral to gameplay rather than mere hindrances.
