However, Soul Cards are a finite resource, turning each stage into a puzzle, making you carefully plan out your pathing. You will have to make many moment-to-moment decisions on the fly, choosing which Soul Cards to use and where to use them to get the highest medal on a stage or overtake your friend's score on the leaderboard.

Soul Cards Overview

In Neon White, Soul Cards are the fundamental backbone of the game's entire gameplay system, serving as a way to take down demons and traverse each level with tremendous amounts of freedom. These Cards turn each stage into a well-crafted playground, making it a genuine joy to try and break in creative and exciting ways.

How To Use Soul Cards

Using Soul Cards is relatively straightforward. Every Card aside from your Katana and Fists utilizes a primary and secondary attack, essentially granting you access to a whole other level of trickery to overcome time trials or challenging enemies. However, each Card has a specific number of uses and rules they follow, meaning you must use them with a level of strategy to avoid wasting them or yourself by making a fatal mistake.

Furthermore, every Soul Card can be discarded by using up all of its primary uses/ammunition or by using the Card's secondary attack. While the secondary attack is typically much stronger or will allow you to traverse the words via double jumps, air dashes, or ground pounds, you are basically burning the Card to perform said actions, so keep that in mind before using them.

Where To Find Soul Cards

Obtaining Soul Cards are on a stage-by-stage basis, meaning you cannot enter a level with your own deck of Soul Cards and will have to scavenge for them instead. While this may seem like a downside initially, you will quickly realize that every level in Neon White is expertly crafted with specific Cards in mind, which allows you to figure out how to use each Soul Card to the best of your ability.

You will find Soul Cards scattered around the map, hidden inside chests, and even as drops from defeating enemies. Remember that enemies are usually color-coded to let you know which Card they possess ahead of time, allowing you to plan accordingly.
