Eldest Souls is a 2D souls-like action game from Fallen Flag Studio featuring challenging boss fights, build variety, and a risk-reward stamina system.

At $3,120/mo residual revenue on ~99k lifetime units, Eldest Souls occupies a viable but dormant niche: a B-grade indie souls-like with solid player sentiment (72.8% positive) and mechanical depth, held back by control implementation and balance issues that frustrate core players. The game earns enough to justify a light revival (balance patch, control overhaul) or acquisition as a low-cost portfolio filler for a publisher seeking undermonetized mid-core catalog. Most realistic play: revival.

Risk: Controller support and input customization are documented pain points; pause/menu responsiveness and borderless window mode are conspicuously absent for a 2021 release.
Risk: Solo developer studio with only one title; no evidence of post-launch roadmap or active live-service engagement despite 1.6 months since last dev post.
Risk: Balance regression at boss tier 3 (choreography, hitbox clarity) suggests either incomplete tuning or design iteration fatigue; New Game+ save corruption reported.
