I have been the translator of this game for about 6 months, and here are my honest comments about the game - In general, this is a good game. The cultural background of the plot and the visual appearance are top notch. In terms of the gameplay, this game stands out as a different 1v4 asymmetrical horror game as the devils (killer) move slower than the gamblers (survivor). So in this game the devil must play a lot of mind games and complicated strategies, which is quite fun to explore. However, please keep those in mind when you consider joining the game - First, if you're based in Europe and your system language is not English or Chinese, please be warned that this game may have a serious blocking issue that prevents playing the game. As of today (7/10/19), the developer team has no plans of fixing this issue. Second, please be advised this game's major audience is the Chinese market. The US-EU server (international market) is still a slowly growing community, and you will face long queuing time, or out-of-date contents because unfortunately US-EU server will not be the developer's highest priority. Third, please keep in mind that the developer is a very young individual studio that has very limited resources to do optimization and game polishing. So you should expect to find glitches and bugs in the game. This game may lead to frustration in the beginning, but I would strongly suggest that you give it a good 90-minute trail before requesting a refund. Also you may check out the discord community - folks there are generally quite helpful. I no longer work for this game and will not update this review. I wish this game is going to make changes in the good directions.

Forward I did not get this game for free, I am not paid to give this review, I have not received any content for actively playing/using/streaming this game. This is my opinion on the game, therefore comments down below will not change said opinion for it's my own personal experience with the game, and what has shaped this review. This game is not a chase simulator, it's for intelligent people to set up ambushes and entrap the gamblers. Pros [*] Atomsphere [*] Imbalanced [*] Intelligent use of mind games/ambuse mechanics [*] Winning feels good [*] The Community Cons [*] Wait times [*] The Bell [*] Unlimited Dodges Explaination So let me speak on the pros first. The game does a really good job of setting up the spooky atomsphere of the game without forcing the person playing killer to try to set up the scares/horrors for the entire match like in Dead by Daylight. There is ambient sounds, the environment around you moves, and stuff just randomly happens if you linger a bit too long just to put you on edge and keep you looking around yourself, which is something that the competitors do not actively have going for them. The game is overall fun, spooky, and interactive. You are putting cards in a card holder just like you're starting gens but you actually need your allies for it gets progressively harder and killer/devil sided with the more allies you lose but it's still possible to win. With that said this entire game has the gamblers moving faster than devil but the devil has the ability to set up ambuses to get hits on the gamblers to gain their stakes. Soul at Stake is a slower pace, intelligence focused take on asym horror genre. It will not be for everyone. Because of this Soul at Stake doesn't feel frustrating or mindlessly straight forward as Dead by Daylight Soul at Stake does have a slight learning curve however for those that have invested a lot of time into Dead by Daylight. But the game is imbalanced on purpose with the devil being stronger intentionally, and it's not overbearingly stronger. The devils don't feel overpowered at all. If anything they feel like they are at the right powerlevel for their respective powers. Prince having no terror radius, Corpus having mobility, and Bride being able to make clones and teleport to her clones. Now to the Cons. Due to the devs of the game not marketing the game because they want to fix bugs, and make sure that everything is working properly before bringing people in (props to the devs for doing that btw most devs would have just thrown the game out there and told us to deal with it) wait times can be absurbly long. There's low population on US East except for around 2pm EST - 10pm EST-ish. But if you don't mind and just want to play a few matches to unwind I do highly suggest you pick up Soul at Stake. If you're kind of like me and you're looking for a game that you can just mindlessly grind in and get back to back matches even when you open the game up at 4am, please do not be disappointed when you don't find people playing at that time. Now as a plus if you join their discord and ask in the looking for group chat people are willing to jump into a match with you even at 4 am, so there's that! Unlimited dodges right now are in the game, and as soon as gamblers begin to figure things out they can keep the devil at bay for awhile. Maybe they will change that in a future update. Now for my biggest gripe in the game: The Bell It is probably the most unbalanced (in a bad way) mechanic in the game and the only thing that makes me consider not playing for a few days. It is an item that stops all movement for gamblers for around 7s, which for people that play FPS's or actually any other game where reaction is key, standing in one spot for 7S not able to do anything besides get stabbed by a lunatic with a knife can be very irritating. The counters to the Bell is to either teleport out immediately if you know he has it or heal after getting hit. Both options require you to have stake generation, but if the devil's stake generation is higher than yours due to teammates or yourself getting hit early, then the bell gives a for sure down via hit bell and then hit right after and the devil will have a bell before you even have a shrine done. The devil can also give a multitude of bells across the map. Five bells from the shop where the gamblers only have a total of three heals for four gamblers. Also when all the gamblers but one is dead they can get a free random item from the shop that includes the bell in a 1v1 situation. But overall if you don't mind either playing during the US East prime time, or the bell in it's current state, I do recommend and strongly suggest you give this game a chance. Gl hf, and have a nice day.

Alright, I recommend this game, but not in early access. it's quite like Dead by daylight. But it got some new idea. Is good but not good enough. Terrible match system, terrible optimise, terrible Anti-Cheat and most important stiff action. For the people who NOT LIVE IN CHINA MAINLAND: if you want to play this, must change your download zone to China. Steam-Setting-Download-Download Zone Othervise you need wait for thousands years to play 1 round.

At the time of writing this review I have 40 hours in the game. I am rank 1 which is the highest rank in the game and have played since launch day. I instantly really liked the game and refreshing take on a asymmetrical horror game. I have over 3,200 hours in dead by daylight and can say that this is a refreshing new take on a dbd similar game. No pallet looping, no ds, and a clear set of rules for win or lose. If one gambler lives, they all win. It’s an all or nothing game. The main downside of the game is the que times as it’s just starting out can sometimes be long depending on your region. China has a lot of players but if you’re in us you can wait 5-10 mins late at night for games. It helps that I’m a streamer so a lot of my viewers will play at the same time as me but for others it will be a issue until the game becomes more popular.. which I sure hope it does. The game is fun and rewarding. We need more killers and perks but that’ll all happen in time as far as release goes in ea it’s worth trying out.

Having played 1700+ hours of Dead by Daylight, this is a nice refreshing experience in the same genre. Fresh new gameplay mechanics with the cards that you have to use on the seals and make it go up to 21 to seal it, Devil being able to teleport to the seals (generators if you've played DbD), dodging mechanic for Gamblers, and the stores where you can buy one of three items to hold and use. The Devil is slower then the Gambler, but the Devil can teleport to seals to cut them off, and can use their ability/items to help them catch up. Devs are pushing updates daily for bug fixes and whatnot which is great to see. That being said, it's still in early access. There's bugs and I'm sure there will be more maps, items, devils, and gamblers in the future. Oh and right NOW there's not many players, unless you change region to US-Los Angeles or China-Beijing for your steam download region. Highly recommended even in early access!
