I delayed a lot to buy this game because of the reviews from YouTubers, I just got it because it wen on sale and it surprised me because the game is actually really good. I won't say the game is perfect, because it is very rage inducing, especially in some boss fights where the object isn't to fight, but to solve puzzles while the boss is killing you, it can be very annoying in some levels. If you are able to pass all the rage and annoying parte the game is really fun, it has different classes, each one has special moves, you can equip different runes, use elements and the story is good enough. 7/10, it would be a 10/10 if it wasn't for the dumbass sand scorpion bossfight.
Hands down one of the best games I've played in a while. After beating the first portion of the game (spider cave area) I have since been unable to put this game down and have since logged 15 hours at the time of writing this review. Overall best Metroidvania game that is filled with as much dungeon exploration as you could ever ask for. If you see this review get this game!!!!
Recommendation As far as 2D action-adventure games are concerned, Souldiers is a very high B-tier, carried by its gorgeous pixel art aesthetic, strong soundtrack, and frequently excellent level design. The visual design and music mostly speak for themselves (I mean, you can see just from this store page how nice the game looks), so I'll focus mostly on the level design here. Firstly, a caveat: if you're expecting a true Metroidvania here, you'll likely be at least a little bit disappointed, because Souldiers for the most part isn't one. The world design is far more akin to a Zelda game than Metroid, with overworld sections connecting a series of dungeons that are mostly one-and-done affairs that don't connect to each other. Interestinly, despite this otherwise annoying flaw (to me, anyway), Souldiers mostly gets away with it due to just how engaging those dungeons are. They're huge , with each being a spawling, multi-hour labyrinth full of shortcuts, traversal challenges, enemies, and treasures. Paradoxically, this means that, despite the game not being a true 'Vania, the dungeons are so large and labyrinthine that they're almost certainly going to filter out anyone not a hardcore enthusiast of the genre and accustomed to frequent backtracking and checking their map -- a fact that one only has to read some of the negative reviews here on Steam to attest to. I was in my happy place exploring through the Great Pyramid. For others is was an egregious dealbreaker. YMMV. So what lets the overall package down, then? Well, it's mostly in three areas: combat, the controls, and itemisation. Combat is stiff, clunky (mostly due to the need to frequently switch elements with the control stick, which frequently selects the wrong one), and increasingly convoluted, with a dearth of secondary weapon and spell options that serve little beyond being readily forgotten and cluttering up the UI. The controls are equally stiff, which serves not only in making combat feel unsatisfying, but also in making the platforming feel frustrating at times. Finally, the itemisation is stuffed full on uninspiring redundancies and randomised drops, with most treasure chests offering little of excitement. They could have halved the number of obtainable secondary weapons and nothing of value would've been lost. All that being said, Souldiers was a fun time for me, but it's not likely to be one I ever return to. Don't get me wrong, it's a solid game, but I was still happy for it to be over by the time the credits rolled. If you yourself are curious to see if you'll like this, play up to the Great Pyramid, the second major dungeon. It's a good representation of what the other dungeons are like, and thus serves as a good litmus test for your potential future enjoyment. 7/10
My biggest complaints with this game were the clunkiness of the movement, the spells being relatively useless in most all fights (mage), the inability to try all classes within one playthrough, the lack of a zoom feature for the mini map, and the inability to show all chest/bygul locations on the map once getting to endgame. If you can get past these issues then the games not too bad. Overall I'd give it a 7.5/10.
