This game is currently in the Humble Choice for November 2023, and this is part of my coverage of the bundle. If you are interested in the game and it's before December 5th, 2023, consider picking up the game as part of the current monthly bundle.
A Metroidvania with three playable classes.
In Souldiers, you can choose to play as a warrior, an archer, or a mage, and it looks like all three will have different experiences or at least combat options. There is what feels like a massive world awaiting the player, with the first area being the spider’s lair, and inside is a large map with a lot of opportunities to double back when players earn more abilities. The combat is slick, and before long it will challenge the player, along with major boss battles. However, I didn’t see much more than that area.
I’ve heard from someone that the game’s launch was problematic with a lot of issues. Those reviews are also on Steam, however, it does appear a lot of changes have happened since then including three new difficulty modes to address a big issue many people had, and the challenge here feels more reasonable.
Pick this up if you want a big Metroidvania and want to take a risk. There are a lot of differing opinions on this, but it does seem like the studio was able to take the negative reviews and improve the game, rather than letting it suffer a slow death, I can’t speak to that as I didn’t get far enough to experience it.
