Hallelujah!" You can find the full article HERE. For USgamer Vambrace: Cold Soul is one of "The 10 Best Indie Games of PAX East 2019": "I love Darkest Dungeon, so something in the same vein with a few tweaks is right up my alley.". You can find the full "Top 10" list HERE. Vambrace: Cold Soul is also featured in "The Best Indie Games of PAX East" by CGMagazine (HERE), in the hands on feature by GamerHub.TV (HERE), in the PAX East Spotlight by The Geekly Grind (HERE) and in the coverage by Gaming Cypher (HERE).

The King of Shades has cursed the great city of Icenaire. Now cast under a permanent blight of frost fall, its former residents have returned from the dead as mad Wraiths. Survivors take refuge deep underground where they lead a desperate campaign against this unearthly power. Woefully outmatched, they are forced into hiding as the King of Shades amasses an army of the undead above them. One fateful day, a mysterious stranger appears in the city with an enchanted vambrace. She may now be their only hope…



You are Evelia Lyric, bearer of the Aetherbrace and the only human capable of entering Icenaire. The survivors now look to you as their best hope against the King of Shades. Only one problem...you’re woefully outmatched, and survival is not guaranteed.

Vambrace: Cold Soul is a narrative-driven game filled with memorable characters, brutal challenges, and deep strategy. To succeed, you must choose perceptive party leaders, camp to recuperate, navigate strange encounters, and survive deadly combat. Will you scavenge for supplies to sell or use them to craft new items for your next expedition? The surface of Icenaire is cold and unforgiving. So, prepare your party well before departing...lest you join the cursed city's undead.

In this game, the difference between life and undeath all comes down to good planning and smart tactics!
