Reception
The game received "mixed" reviews on all platforms according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. IGN criticized the PlayStation 3 version for making players put in large amounts of work and not rewarding them enough. GameSpot criticized the same console version's old fashioned design and (erroneously) claimed it lacked an automap feature, but praised its challenging and addictive combat. GamePro said, "Ultimately, 'Lost Souls' will reward masochists and scare off anyone intimidated by the slightest bit of a learning curve. There's a great challenge in store, but it doesn't pull any punches or make any apologies. Know that going in and don't say you weren't warned."
Windows version
Scheduled for release on May 29, 2019 for Microsoft Windows via Steam, Xseed Games announced that day that the game would not be released as originally scheduled due to unforeseen IP licensing issues. Eventually, the release date was solidified as January 15, 2020.
