    Just in case I haven’t made it clear enough, Souldiers is absolutely a modern-day classic. It’s also in the running for my favorite game of 2022—it’s really just that good. Between its engaging level design, gorgeous visual appearance, addictive combat mechanics, and its class-based system giving it three times the replaybility… you really owe it to yourself to get this game if you consider yourself a Metroidvania fan.

    Souldiers is one of the best modern metroidvanias and can stand up to any of the genre's favourites. Not only does it have great gameplay and spectacular visuals, but it is truly huge and detailed from start to finish.

    Demanding without ever being totally off-putting or daunting, Souldiers is highly recommended for all fans of pixel art metroidvania platform action games. Its deliciously retro artistic direction is far from being the only one of its qualities since the game also knows how to renew itself intelligently by offering no less than 3 radically distinct character classes and gigantic maps full of secrets.

    Souldiers is a good metroidvania, challenging and beautiful. Its 16-bit retro style and good soundtrack will surely win you over. It may not be surprising at this point, but it is certainly a title that we recommend.

    Souldiers is a 2D metroidvania with Souls-like touches that stands out for its fluid, challenging and deep gameplay. A stimulating experience with a great artistic value which is only weighed down by various technical problems that promise to be corrected sometime in the future.

    Lots of great ideas here, and a cool style to boot but as of 2023 the game still doesn’t really work on switch. Slow, long load times,Lots of great ideas here, and a cool style to boot but as of 2023 the game still doesn’t really work on switch. Slow, long load times, stutters, crashes (usually when reaching a save point or just after a boss). It’s hard to recommend on switch due to the constant and pervasive bugs.… Full Review »
