Jun 24, 2022Souldiers fulfills the elements of a Metroidvania and has its own touch that allows it to offer something different. It is rare that a game of this type does not comply and this is not the case, so if you are looking for an adventure of this type and with an attractive challenge, Souldiers is a good option.

May 30, 2022Souldiers is a visually beautiful metroidvania RPG that offers a challenge to veterans of the genre. It has a large number of gameplay issues that make the experience worse and for this reason it is not a recommended title for everyone.

Jun 14, 2022After playing Souldiers for a few dozen hours I can say that it has a ton of potential, despite its issues I continue to want to play the game when I sit down and turn on my Xbox. The Metroidvania side of the gameplay really shines – the abilities, exploration, and world-building – but the game is marred by bugs and problematic design decisions that make the difficult souls-inspired combat feel less rewarding and much more frustrating. If the game was released without many of these issues I could see myself scoring it much higher but as it is, Souldiers needs to head back to basic training before anyone else enlists in their army.
