Bait Soul

Bait Soul is a build-driven action roguelite inspired by the idea of a forbidden path of cultivation. The player takes the role of a “Bait Soul”, a character trying to escape a tragic destiny by making use of every available resource while moving through a dangerous dungeon.

The game uses a loadout system built around Soul Orbs and Support Items. Each weapon slot, filled by a Soul Orb, has its own attributes, and Support Items give chain buffs to the weapons next to them. Players can rearrange Weapons, Soul Orbs and Support Items to favour high damage output or stronger defence. Combat controls are simplified: the character automatically attacks enemies that have been locked onto, while the player uses Blink to dodge attacks and Sprint to reposition. The description states that the game can be played with one hand.

The dungeon contains hundreds of Relics with differing functions, some of which change how combat works rather than only altering stats. The underground palace also includes events and secret rooms, such as mysterious merchants, ancient altars and gambles, which offer either opportunity or risk to the player.
