Soul Sacrifice Joins Instant Game Collection
The Monster Hunter series has spawned a number of titles that emulate the hunt, kill, craft game loop. Comcept’s Soul Sacrifice is in the same vein, but takes a much darker approach, tempting players to betray their friends and give up their humanity. The Vita title arrives in the Instant Game Collection today.
Players will find themselves trapped in a cage waiting to be executed by an evil sorcerer. With the help of a fleshy, sentient book, you’ll go back in time and hone your skills. Each enemy you defeat can be saved or sacrificed to increase your health or magic.
Items harvested contain the essence of different weapons and spells. It’s a deep system, with a complex story. You can read our review of the title and download it tomorrow when the PlayStation store updates.

Our Take
I had a hard time getting into Monster Hunter games (not for lack of trying). Soul Sacrifice clicked with me, as elements reminded me of one of my favorite original Xbox games, Phantom Dust. Missions play out quickly, bosses are large and grotesque, and the powers are varied. If you’ve got a Vita and PlayStation Plus, this is a good week for you.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
