Wayward Souls is a 2014 action-adventure video game developed by Rocketcat Games. It is a follow-up and spiritual successor to their Mage Gauntlet and was released for iOS and Android. A Windows version was later released in 2019. The gameplay resembles that of The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past crossed with the randomly generated dungeons of a roguelike and the escalating challenge of the Dark Souls series. Rocketcat has continued to update the game since its launch, adding new playable characters and increasing the base price of the game. Currently, the game has six playable characters.
