    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.

    Developers have abandoned with game breaking bugs. Lost dozens of hours of gameplay and looking online this is a known - and unfixed - problem. This game should not even be available for sale. Shame - the art direction is superb.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. El juego tiene potencial, la mecánica de esquivar o proteger muy bien implementada, pero hay una serie de cosas que se debería corregir en la versión de Switch. Los controles a veces no responden correctamente. Saltas en lugar de dejarte caer de una cornisa, por ejemplo. El tiempo de carga entre mapas, al guardar la partida o al morir son excesivos. Algunas mecánicas teniendo en cuenta lo de los controles, son prácticamente imposible de realizar, como encender las 9 antorchas del primer mapa. El primer metroidvania que me deja con mal sabor de boca.… Expand

    The game is amazing, it's a fun metroidvania and I recommend it for anyone that likes the genre! But please don't buy it on switch, if you can get in other plataform!

    Puchased on switch when it come out...crashed my save file after 18 hours or gameplay.
    I wait for a year and purchase again on ps4 thinking for sure it will be ok.....13 hours in...once again the game crashes for no reason and save game wiped out...I am not gonna start it a 3rd time...stay away from the windows 98 of the indie games

    This game would absolutely be an amazing metroidvania experience if it wasn't for the infuriating bugs. There is a very likely chance that the game will crash when you save. Too bad.

    Souldiers is a metroidvania with potential. It has a good story and very creative enemies, but the constant technical problems greatly hinder the game experience.

    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.
