Soul Saga

Bellevue-based developer Disastercake’s self-described love letter to the PSone era Soul Saga is set to bring its brand of JRPG-esque melodrama to the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita, as it has surpassed its stretch goals on crowdfunding website Kickstarter with just over 15 days left to go.

One-man workhorse Mike Gale needed to raise $80,000 in order to expand to the aforementioned PlayStation platforms, but the project has accrued just short of $95,000 at the time of writing. Should more money be contributed over the coming weeks, the daring developer hopes to implement more features, such as Skies of Arcadia-style airship exploration.

The title itself promises 20 hours of episodic throwback bliss, with full voice acting, a compelling cast, and a combat system inspired by the classics of yesteryear. If you’ve been gunning for some old-school adventuring like Barret from Final Fantasy VII, then you may just want to plop a pledge on the game’s Kickstarter page through here.
