Soul Seeker - The 6th Knights hits global stores this November

If you were among the millions of players who downloaded the first Soul Seeker game, you might still be busy kitting out your heroes in weird and wonderful outfits as they engage in boss raids across its besieged lands. You might also be hankering for the next instalment. Well hanker no more, because on November 1st, developer Clegames is launching Soul Seeker - The 6th Knights worldwide. It promises more of the same heroic action, with a bit more strategy, plus some added fire (and water) power.

Taking place in the war-torn continent of Hermes, you play as part of the Albion Knights, and it's your job to put a stop to the five other orders of knights' squabbling. These rival knights are the titular soul seekers, searching for Soul Stones which grant god-like powers for whoever wields them. You must hunt for the Soul Stones yourself and destroy them, so that they never have the chance to use such power against the people of Hermes. That's the premise, but in all likelihood you'll pay just as much attention to the other gameplay modes outside of the main story, including PvP arenas and PvE dungeon raids.

The controls are expected to be an improvement over the previous Soul Seeker game, and there are some new functions to play around with. Once you've filled up your tag gauge, you can now tag in your support heroes to join the fight with the benefit of temporary invincibility. There's also a Bound System, which allows you to bind two or three heroes together for combined power. You've also got elemental powers at your disposal: Fire, Water, Air, Darkness and Light. Each type corresponds with an enemy's weakness, so you can be strategic in which heroes you deploy.
