I'll start by saying this was longer than I expected. Perhaps a bit tiresome at times. But something kept drawing me back in. The pixel art is stunning. The music gets stuck in your head. The puzzles are engaging and the platforming is challenging. The progression gives you a sense of getting more powerful. The bosses are fun to learn and rewarding to beat. The Metroidvania is Metroidvaniaing. Lots of variety. Big maps. Good fun!

I came back to gaming after a long break, and Souldiers was such a pleasant surprise. The animation and art direction are beautiful, and the gameplay offers great variety — rarely feeling repetitive. Some areas can feel a bit too long and occasionally tedious (especially the first spider map), but overall the world is very well designed. I finished the game with all three characters + New Game+ for a total of around 150 hours, and each hero has a very distinct identity: Caster — The most balanced of the three. High damage and lots of protective spells, making it a great pick for beginners. Archer — For more experienced players. Requires a careful and strategic playstyle. Fragile early on with low damage, but in the endgame he shines brilliantly with excellent DPS — still fragile, so you always need to play smart. Scout — The damage sponge. A true tank in the endgame, but his lower damage output can drag some boss fights longer than necessary. Overall, this is a great game. The ending suggests the developers had more story to tell — sadly, it seems the project has been abandoned, so a continuation looks unlikely. Unfortunately, I must mention a major issue: the “Another Round” achievement is bugged and won’t unlock after completing New Game+. With no updates or developer support since 2022, this achievement is currently unobtainable. Still, I strongly recommend Souldiers to anyone who enjoys metroidvanias with good challenge, beautiful art, and an epic journey. Despite its flaws, this game reminded me why I love this genre.

I played Souldiers, a game from 2022, after Silksong, which was a startling experience. Somehow the games have more in common than you might think: Metroidvanias with lush, vivid artwork and excellent music; expansive and intricate biomes full of secrets; a home base region that cues up various side quests (including a foot race of course); a vast array of skills and tools you acquire as you progress; and a fondness for hardcore gauntlet fights. But unlike Silksong, Souldiers has a much more mixed reputation due to (as far as I can tell) some internet shenanigans that happened when it was first released. Having played it now, I think that's a shame. What startled me is that, on the whole, I enjoyed Souldiers quite a bit more than Silksong. Some of that boils down to Souldiers' distinct features, such as: the different starting classes, offering replayability and variety; the RPG leveling system, ensuring a consistent sense of character progression; ubiquitous items, enhancing one's weapons/builds in various ways. The art style, characters and music also tapped into a personal reservoir of Chrono Trigger nostalgia I didn't know I still had. But it was also welcome contrasts with Silksong: the absence of corpse running; the prevalence of check points/save points and straightforward fast travel; quests that were--more often than not--kill-the-mini-boss quests and not farm-and-fetch quests; the difficulty options (though I played it on Warrior Mode all the way through); the generally better pacing. This isn't to suggest that Souldiers is a flawless game. I did note a fair amount of surprising performance issues at times (stutters and frame drops, etc.), and where the game leaned into platform challenges (e.g., the aforementioned foot race quest), they could be unforgiving with the touchy, ledge-grabby controls/moveset. That said, for the absolute bargain price I paid for this way back when before stuffing it in my backlog, Souldiers is a tremendous value and an excellent game. I don't want to downplay the experience others had during the launch of the game (and I've heard concerning rumors about the console ports that I haven't personally confirmed), but, now that I've beaten it, I only have nice things to say.

Bought on huge sale this is a very good metroidvania. If you like exploring map when you play hollow knight you should try this game on discount. Exploring in this game is very fun, Boss is challenging and a lot of side content to do. But, this game do have a lot of problem and almost change my opinion about this game. The Problem 1. A lot of game breaking bug. This is just some example of bug that bothering me a lot, Some platform you instant lost a grip when you grab them. Happened to the vine most of the time. Some puzzle mechanic completely bug and unplayable. I have to restart the game to fix it but I already waste like half hour because I don't know that it is bugged. Skill tree bug, There is passive that make archer class double the arrow shot but lower DMG. The normal shot work fine but the dash attack still shoot at the same number with lower DMG. 2. This game love to force you explore the map before fight dungeon boss. The map is similar size to hollow knight biome but they force you to explore at least 80% of the map before fight story boss. Even me who love exploring still think it is very repetitive gameplay and most of the upgrade item come from exploring side content too. If you skip too much exploring, you will have bad time with the boss. 3. Bad design quests, some quests are just poorly bad design. There is a colosseum quest where you have to fight every kind of enemy and the length of the quest is equal to 3 level from colosseum of the fool in hollow knight comblie. There is a racing parkour quest that you have to do every thing almost perfectly to complete this quest. 4. The movement in this game are not good for hard platforming but this game do love shoving you a platforming content. 5. Some boss are over design (only two so not that bad). Dark Razor: a boss who have Iframe when perform attack, chance to stun and one shot move (almost). Last Boss (pharse2), I beat on first try but almost lost even I upgrade 90% of my gear. you have very few opportunity to hit the boss and spent most of the time dodge an attack.

I've seen negative reviews but I can't relate. Maybe the game will show itself somehow bad later, but currently(having 8 hours in it) I think that it is one of the best metroidvanias I've ever played. Bioms are large and diverse. Controls are tight. Pixel Art is just amazing. Writing is funny. Maybe plot itself is weak, but I usually do not read much of it. I for sure can recommend the game *EDIT AFTER ALMOST BEATING THE GAME* Well, now I get all the negative reviews. The game designed poorly and sometimes feels clunky and unfair. Side quests are quite lame. Biomes are diverse but they don't belong to this game. Main plot is also lame. Difficulty spikes are horrible. I still recommend the game, but take it on sale.
