March is a massive month for games, and it just keeps getting bigger. When we're not eating cars in Kirby and the Forgotten Land, making decisions about shapes in Triangle Strategy, and wooing the locals with homegrown turnips in Rune Factory 5, perhaps we can also beat up monsters with friends in Young Souls, a rather lovely-looking co-op RPG that's coming to Switch!
Young Souls is a 2D brawler with a story, starring two pink-haired twins with a penchant for punching. When their foster father gets kidnapped, they begin a journey through the Moon Gate portal, fighting alongside each other as either a single-player or a split-screen co-op experience.
When you're not in the Goblin World, you can return to the Human World, where you'll need to shop around for upgrades. There are plenty of weapons and clothing items to improve your skills and stats, plus a gym that can help you gain more strength, resistance, and stamina, and what's more, the game lets you wear whatever you want — so you can focus on style, or go straight for the tough guy look, without compromising on aesthetics. But the Goblin World has its own market, too, if you can find it...
Young Souls will be out on the Nintendo Switch on March 10th. You can also pre-order the physical edition on Limited Run Games for $34.99 (pre-orders end on March 6th).
Does Young Souls seem up your alley? Let us know in the comments.

Consider me 1st in line for a purchase!
Looks really cool! such a busy month though.
Mixed feelings on the art but it looks like a ton of fun!
I played through this game back when it released on Stadia and absolutely loved it. If you're at all interested, go for it. You won't regret it.
Worth taking a look at, but just filler until TMNT finally arrives.
@tqmcguire Thanks for the input! It looks really interesting and fun, but I was curious how it played on Stadia
@TenClaws it played perfectly for me on Stadia, and being a less-demanding title, it should be perfect on Switch too.
@KateGray Pixnlove.com are doing a physical release in europe along with a special edition and a few other bits.
LRG also has this up on their preorders
@TDRsuperstar2 yep, that's in the last line of the article
@KateGray oops lol 😂 my bad
@TDRsuperstar2 it's cool! It's Monday, we're all a bit rubbish at reading today
Might as well buy the physical for the price mark and I’ll hope it goes on gamepass as well.
We've now reached a point where every single word in the English dictionary has been combined with "Souls" for a game title. Indie developers, if you want people to remember your game, don't include "Souls" in the title. Thank you in advance.
It's a really fun game. I have been playing it on Google Stadia since November and have enjoyed it quite a bit. Gives a modern feel to the beat-em up genre.
Remember young, rebellious and temperamental mutants were the biggest thing in the 90’s? Lol
Looks okay to me, will be getting this one.
Interested, may pick it up but I’ll be disappointed if there is a lack of David Bowie in the goblin world.
