How co-op works

Two local players control Jenn and Tristan simultaneously through the story, entering goblin dungeons and returning to town between runs. Each twin equips and upgrades weapons, armor, and accessories independently, letting the pair specialize for enemy groups and over 20 bosses.

About this game

Young Souls blends side-scrolling brawler combat with deep RPG progression in a heartfelt story about rebellious twins who discover a goblin underworld threatening their foster father. This is true co-op, designed for two players to team up locally and take on hordes of goblins together, or you can tackle the adventure solo by swapping between the siblings.

Combat is fast and responsive, combining melee combos, blocks, and dodges with hundreds of weapons and accessories to customize your playstyle. Between dungeon runs, you explore a richly illustrated world, manage your gear, and uncover more of the twins' story. The loop of fighting, looting, and leveling up together keeps sessions energetic and rewarding.

Young Souls offers local couch co-op with shared-screen and split-screen support, plus compatibility with Steam Remote Play Together. Coordinating combos, reviving each other in tight spots, and deciding how to spend your resources turns every session into a communication-heavy team effort that rewards close collaboration.
