Enjoy Playing Skate our Souls
You drop into a neon-lit city where ramps and halfpipes have sprouted like urban coral, and undead skaters haunt every corner. “Skate Our Souls” throws you into a wild mash-up of board tricks and survival horror, and it somehow just clicks. You’ll weave through abandoned malls and graffiti-smeared streets, popping ollies over all kinds of hazards—broken signs, rotting barricades, even the occasional zombie limb—and it feels effortlessly fun.
Controlling your skater is delightfully snappy. A quick kickflip can clear a small horde, but nailing a perfect grind on a rusted rail will send off a shockwave that knocks back clusters of enemies. Tricks aren’t just for style points here; chaining combos fills your “Soul Gauge,” which you can unleash in a burst that clears even the toughest foes. The game teaches you this blend of flourishes and firepower almost seamlessly, and somehow you’ll find yourself muttering, “Just one more run.”
Each playthrough pulls you into a fresh labyrinth of streets and underground parking lots, thanks to its rogue-lite design. You’ll earn scrap currency and upgrade bits to tweak your board’s speed, trick height or Soul Gauge charge rate. New decks, wheels and even mystical charms drop at random, so outfitting your skater becomes its own mini-quest. There’s something oddly satisfying about discovering that perfect gear combo, then seeing how far you can ride it before the undead close in.
But it isn’t all grim. The game’s pulsing synthwave soundtrack and glowing neon palette give it a retro-cool vibe, like you’re shredding through an ’80s fever dream. You can tackle it solo or link up with friends in drop-in co-op, trading tips on where the best upgrade caches hide. By the time you’ve eked out your fifteenth run and landed that million-point combo, you’ll know exactly why “Skate Our Souls” feels less like a zombie romp and more like an all-night skate party—minus the dorm rooms, plus a pretty intense fight for survival.
