Digital Extremes launches pre-alpha of Soulframe, a new action-RPG with a focus on exploration and combat

Digital Extremes has launched a pre-alpha version of Soulframe, a new action-RPG that contrasts with its earlier game, Warframe. Unlike Warframe's complex world, Soulframe offers a quieter, storybook fantasy setting focused on exploration and combat against imperial foes. The prelude features a coastal open world with enemy camps and procedurally generated dungeons. Players can engage in melee combat, use magic abilities, and interact with ancestral spirits. The game emphasizes atmosphere and exploration, with a day-night cycle enhancing its serene environment. Soulframe's combat mechanics include light and heavy attacks, dodging, and spellcasting, with a focus on fluid animations. As the game evolves, players are curious to see how it will develop compared to Warframe, which has undergone significant changes since its release.
