  • Summary: In Fractured Soul 3D, players take on the role of interplanetary rogue, Jake DeSaul a man with a checkered and mysterious past who must confront his demons in his desperate plight to escape an eerie and malevolent space station. As they progress through each level, the boundaries between dream and reality continue to blur as Jake faces a lifetime of regrets, hopes, dreams, and what might have been in his efforts to reconcile himself with his past.

    In order to help Jake, players must blast their way through 20 exciting and brain bending platform levels spread across five distinct worlds - each offering a unique challenge including inverted gravity, damage, wind, ice, and underwater. Additionally, there are four shoot 'em up levels that also make use of the screen switching. Each level is timed and ranked to encourage replayability.    … Expand

    It's a game that naturally intersects action platforming with lateral thinking, never splurging on one over the other. Fractured Soul's dual-dimension gameplay, combined with its speed run-focused online leaderboards and forgiving checkpoint system, showcase it as one of the finest 3DS games among both retail and online titles.

    Fractured Soul is perhaps on par with several other plataformers on eShop, but stands out from the crowd by including online leaderboards.

    Fractured Soul is a quite clever 2D platformer, but there are too many instant death moments with no nearby checkpoints. [May 2013]

    There are some great ideas here, with clever use of the dual screens, but the game in which they find themselves is far less entertaining than it should be.

    This game is one tough game to beat. So don't buy this game if you get frustrated when you lose. This game is for pros. One thing why this game is for pros is because you have to look up and down most of the time. Then there are also lots of enemies and hard places to pass. If you played the older version of fractured soul you can see that the 3ds version is redesigned and looks better. This new version has some new features through. One new feature is the leaderboards. This is to show how fast they can beat this selected level. Also, if you want some more challenge, try the bonus levels. You can get them by getting lots of stars. Getting a 5 star is really tough. It's even more harder than playing the game without it! There are only 3 bosses in this game. If you want a challenge then this is a game you should play.… Expand
