Updated: Wayward Souls

Wayward Souls, a top-down hack and slash action-RPG, has finally received it’s long-awaited MFi controller support update!

Fans of old-school action RPGs from the SNES days will absolutely want to give this a look. Not only does Wayward Souls bring a ridiculous amount of polish to the formula, it also incorporates more modern features such as unlockables, upgrades, and perks.

If you’ve already played the heck out of this game in the past, the latest update brings with it further improvements to the Endless Dungeon mode, which scales the difficulty up with a high-score format.

Developers Rocketcat Games have an interesting pricing model with Wayward Souls: with every major update, the price increments $1. The game launched at $4.99, and with the last update, the price rose to $5.99. Now that this second update has it, the price will rise to $6.99 on Monday. This policy has the dual effect of both rewarding early adopters and providing incentive for further development. But anyways, long story short, if you think you’ll enjoy Wayward Souls – and I think a lot of people will – you should buy it by Monday or it’ll cost an extra dollar.
