Got 12ish hours of fun until I finished it on difficult ( I only played diff mode, didnt try infinity). Probably important to play on Dx11, only had one fatal err. and one bug where monsters stopped spawning and I couldnt progress. Few things I didnt like: The game pretty much forces you to always hit a target because if you dont you will not get the dmg% bonus, which you get after every zone so it adds up to a lot of damage. Would've been better to have some headshot, body, limb multipliers instead. For some reason encyclopedia is where you need to claim some of the rewards and it's further away than usual upgrades - totally unnecessary. Some weapons looked too similar in appearance and theres no really cool upgrades for weapons, you just RNG a different type with higher level damage and occasional mod. When instead you should have been finding upgrades like you found skills (which were kinda meh also) like magazine, firerate, reload speed, multishot, aoe etc
🎮 Gameplay 🔲 Excellent 🔲 Good ✅ Average 🔲 Poor 🔲 Staring at Walls is better Soulslinger mixes roguelike shooting with Souls-inspired structure, but the moment-to-moment gameplay doesn’t fully capitalize on its premise. Gunplay is serviceable and responsive, yet rarely evolves in meaningful ways. Progression between runs feels shallow: upgrades are incremental, perks lack impact, and builds don’t meaningfully diverge. Weapons do not really feel unique either. Encounters start out engaging but quickly become routine due to limited enemy behaviors and combat variety. It’s playable and occasionally fun, but rarely exciting. To add to this, movement can sometimes feel very clunky when trying to skirt around the "edges" of the terrain. 🌄 Graphics 🔲 Beautiful ✅ Good 🔲 Decent 🔲 Bad 🔲 Paint.exe The art direction leans heavily into a dark, otherworldly western aesthetic with strong lighting, striking silhouettes, and moody environments. Locations feel oppressive and surreal in a good way, and the visual identity carries the experience even when mechanics falter. 🎵 Audio 🔲 Eargasm ✅ Amazing 🔲 Good 🔲 Not too Bad 🔲 Bad The soundtrack is one of the game’s strongest elements. Atmospheric, haunting, and well-timed, the music reinforces the bleak tone perfectly. Ambient sounds and effects complement the environments nicely, though weapon audio lacks punch and variety, making combat feel less impactful than it looks. 📖 Story 🔲 It will replace your life 🔲 Good ✅ Average 🔲 Text or Audio Floating Around 🔲 No story The narrative framework is intriguing: a cursed gunslinger trapped in a limbo-like purgatory, but storytelling is minimal and mostly environmental. Lore fragments and dialogue hint at something deeper, yet the story never meaningfully develops. It sets the mood well but doesn’t reward players looking for strong narrative payoff. 🛡️ Difficulty 🔲 Difficult 🔲 Easy to Learn / Hard to Master ✅ Average 🔲 Easy 🔲 Just press "A" Difficulty is steady but unremarkable. Early runs can feel punishing due to weak starting perks, while later runs don’t scale in interesting ways. The challenge comes more from attrition than mastery, and once patterns are learned, tension drops quickly. PS: The final boss is a slog to get through in the harder difficulty. 🔁 Replay-ability 🔲 Infinitely replay-able 🔲 Many Times ✅ A few times 🔲 Maybe Once 🔲 No replay value Replay value is limited by bland progression systems and poor build diversity. Weapon variety is extremely thin, and most runs feel mechanically similar. Without meaningful synergies or standout perk combinations, experimentation loses its appeal after several hours. ⏳ Length 🔲 To infinity and beyond 🔲 Very Long (50 to 150 hr) 🔲 Long (25 to 50 hr) ✅ Average (10 to 25 hr) 🔲 Short (4 to 10 hr) A full experience spans a modest number of runs. While the atmosphere encourages continued play, the lack of evolving mechanics makes the game boring after a couple of runs. 🖥️ Hardware Requirement (1440p / 75+ FPS) 🔲 Ask NASA if they have a spare computer 🔲 Fast (RTX 4080 equivalent) ✅ Decent (RTX 2080 equivalent) 🔲 Potato (GTX 980 equivalent) 🔲 Check if you can run paint Performance is stable across mid-range systems. Visual fidelity is achieved without demanding hardware, making it accessible while still looking sharp. 🪲 Bugs 🔲 Never heard of ✅ Minor bugs 🔲 Can get annoying 🔲 Game-breaking bugs 🔲 The game itself is a big terrarium for bugs Minor bugs and occasional jank crop up which is mostly animation hiccups or odd enemy behavior but nothing consistently run-breaking. 💸 Worth Buying 🔲 It’s free! 🔲 Worth the price 🔲 Minor sale (<30%) ✅ Major sale (>70%) 🔲 You could also just burn your money At full price, Soulslinger struggles to justify itself. On sale, its atmosphere and presentation make it worth checking out, especially for fans of dark fantasy roguelikes. 📝 Rating 🔲 10 🔲 9 🔲 8 🔲 7 ✅ 6 🔲 5 🔲 4 🔲 3 🔲 2 🔲 1 Soulslinger nails mood and presentation but falls short mechanically. It’s a stylish experience held back by shallow systems and limited replay-ability. 👍 What works: Striking dark-western visual style and strong art direction. Excellent atmospheric soundtrack that elevates immersion. Consistent performance and solid technical presentation. ⚠️ What to know: Progression systems are simplistic and lack meaningful choices. Weapon variety is extremely limited for a roguelike shooter. Perks and upgrades rarely change how you play. 👎 Weak Points: Runs feel similar due to poor build diversity. Combat lacks depth once the novelty wears off. Enemy encounters and weapons become repetitive quickly. TL;DR: Soulslinger is a game carried by vibes. Its visuals, atmosphere, and soundtrack. However, the game is plagued by shallow progression, weak perks, and limited weapon variety keep it from standing out mechanically. Worth a look on sale if you value style over depth, but don’t expect a roguelike with staying power.
I picked this game up on sale, and it's definitely worth it. It's well optimized, has a mildly interesting story, cool visuals, and fun, snappy gunplay. I haven't had any issues with crashes or anything else, but there are occasional stutters. My only other negative is that the game doesn't focus on accuracy. Hitting anywhere on an enemy does full damage. There's no headshot modifier/multiplier that I have seen. Also build variety isn't crazy, but the game is pretty cheap so it's not the end of the world.
Ignore playtime; I have more on the demo. My impressions so far are that, while not anything groundbreaking, this is still worth the $7 price tag pretty easily. Might be disappointed if I spent more than $10. Controller support on demo wasn't very good, but I found something workable using Steam Input. I can see controller menu navigation is different in the full title already, so maybe the "mapped to a mouse cursor jumpiness" is fixed in this; we'll see. A note on similar titles: If you want something similar thematically, but with large open sections based around extraction and more polished in every way, I would highly recommend Witchfire. If you enjoy this arena-roguelite structure, Abyssus offers something similar that many enjoy. I have my own issues with Abyssus, but that's another review.
Soulslinger: Envoy of Death is a stylish and ambitious roguelite FPS that blends supernatural Western aesthetics with fast, kinetic gunplay. Developed by Elder Games and published by Headup and Beep Japan, it casts players as a spectral gunslinger trapped between life and death, forced to navigate a shifting afterlife ruled by a ruthless organization known simply as the Cartel. Instead of portraying the afterlife as a place of quiet reflection, the game imagines it as a chaotic frontier where souls, outlaws, and supernatural forces constantly collide. That thematic choice gives the game a strong identity, and from its opening moments it commits fully to its grimly operatic tone—dusty graveyards, ghost towns, eerie saloons, and cracked desert landscapes serve as battlegrounds for relentless firefights. The core attraction lies in its run-based structure. Every excursion into this liminal realm consists of a series of randomized combat arenas filled with enemies, environmental traps, and temporary power-ups. The gunplay is sharp and weighty, with revolvers, shotguns, rifles, and supernatural firearms all offering different tempos and tactical possibilities. Many encounters reward momentum—sliding between cover, chaining critical hits, using ability combos, and improvising on the fly. Defeating enemies grants upgrades and perks that shape each run differently, allowing for builds focused on precision, crowd control, mobility, or sheer overwhelming force. Between attempts, players return to a hub that functions as a narrative and progression anchor, where permanent enhancements and story threads gradually unfold. This loop—fight, grow, die, return, and try again—keeps the experience addictive and forward-moving. Soulslinger’s presentation plays a significant role in its appeal. The environments are atmospheric, blending Western motifs with ethereal effects, glowing ruins, and surreal imagery that remind players they are not wandering an ordinary desert. Celestial winds, spectral embers, and otherworldly lighting give arenas a sense of haunted beauty. Character designs lean into comic-book exaggeration, and enemy silhouettes are readable enough to maintain clarity even in frantic firefights. Sound design reinforces the pace—guns roar with punchy feedback, hostile creatures emit unsettling cries, and the soundtrack mixes twangy Western influences with dramatic orchestral flourishes. Voice acting and cutscenes add narrative texture without slowing down the game’s momentum. However, Soulslinger is not without growing pains. Its roguelite structure relies heavily on variation, and while the foundation is strong, repetition can begin to surface after several runs—rooms, enemy groupings, and encounter sequences sometimes feel familiar. Enemy AI occasionally behaves erratically, alternating between aggressive swarming and confused hesitation. The selection of weapons and abilities, though functional and satisfying, may leave players wishing for deeper experimentation or more unconventional builds. The story hints at compelling themes—identity, redemption, and rebellion—but the narrative remains light and secondary to the action. Technical hiccups, balancing issues, and rare bugs can interrupt the pacing, reminding players that the game still has room to mature. Despite these shortcomings, the potential is undeniable. Soulslinger succeeds at capturing the visceral thrill of a good arena shooter while layering it with roguelite unpredictability and a memorable supernatural Western flavor. It respects the player’s time, offering runs that feel meaningful even in failure, and its progression systems encourage continued experimentation rather than repetition for its own sake. When everything aligns—powerful upgrades, smart positioning, a frantic gunfight against overwhelming odds—the game delivers moments of exhilarating satisfaction that few shooters achieve. Soulslinger: Envoy of Death is best suited for players who crave fast FPS combat, enjoy iterative mastery, and appreciate stylized, lore-rich settings. It may not yet offer the breadth and refinement of more established roguelite shooters, but its foundation is strong, its combat feels excellent, and its world has personality to spare. With continued updates and added content, it has the potential to become something truly special. As it stands, it offers a thrilling and distinct journey through the afterlife—one where bullets speak louder than fate, and every run is another chance to fight for freedom. Rating: 6/10
