Spiritfall Launches on Consoles: Roguelike Brawling Redefined

Console gamers hungry for a fresh dose of high-octane action and ever-changing challenges are in luck: Spiritfall, the genre-twisting platform-fighter from Gentle Giant, has officially landed on Nintendo Switch, Xbox One & Series X|S, and PlayStation 4 & 5 for $19.99. After winning hearts (and thumbs) on PC, Spiritfall is now ready to deliver its signature blend of kinetic combat, deep customization, and endless replayability to a new audience.

Momentum-Based Action Gets a Console Upgrade

Imagine the frenzied chaos of Super Smash Bros. fused with the roguelike unpredictability of Hades, and you’ll have a sense of what Spiritfall brings to your controller. Each run throws you into procedurally generated arenas loaded with enemies, hazards, and opportunities for air-juggling mayhem. When you fall, you don’t just respawn—you reincarnate, stronger and smarter, with new builds and fresh strategies to try on your next attempt.

Deep Customization and Dynamic Combat

Console players get the full package from day one: all content unlocked, including 10 upgradable weapons—each with distinct feels and pathways—and a staggering 160+ combat blessings. These blessings, bestowed by the enigmatic spirits of the Realm Beyond, can turn you into a fire-tornado one run and an ice-casting juggernaut the next, encouraging experimentation and rewarding clever builds. No two adventures will ever play the same.

Spiritfall keeps things fresh with procedurally generated regions and an inventive death system. Falling in battle simply sends you back to the Sanctum, where you can spend earned currency, swap gear, or equip a new spirit mask—each offering its own unique abilities. Whether you prefer an all-out assault or a more defensive approach, masks let you tune your playstyle. Plus, unlockable skins provide extra flair without dipping into microtransactions, so your hero can look as good as they fight.

Quirky Cast and Roguelike Heart

Fans of platform fighters and modern roguelikes will spot familiar influences, but Spiritfall finds its own groove with momentum-focused mechanics and crisp, responsive controls. Between battles, you’ll meet a cast of memorable NPCs—like the ever-resourceful Relic Tinkerer and the charming duo of Yara and her turtle pal Damu—who offer upgrades, resources, and new challenges, echoing the relationship-driven progression that Hades fans adored.

Is Spiritfall Worth the Leap?

For $19.99, Spiritfall delivers a robust package for both newcomers and veterans of the roguelike and platform-fighter worlds. With its replay value, rewarding combat loop, and a dizzying array of customization, it stands out in a crowded genre. As with any genre mashup, there’s a learning curve—some may find the roguelike resets or momentum-heavy brawling takes getting used to. But with Spiritfall now on every major console, it’ll be exciting to see how players push its systems and what creative strategies emerge.

Will Spiritfall become a staple for roguelike enthusiasts, or spark a cult following among fighting game devotees? Only time—and your next run—will tell.
