Souldiers is an all-around joyful experience; its three classes being unique enough from each other, warranting different playthroughs. The use of different elemental types to fight enemies and gain an advantage, plus using them to traverse the world, is a great implementation. Characters feel unique, enemies are distinguished and not just reskins throughout, and the ambient sounds are all great. A genuinely memorable game all metroidvania fans should check out.

Para mi Souldiers es el indie de 2022 hasta el momento, su jugabilidad y mundo me han encandilado de principio a fin, un apartado artístico muy agradable de ver y un medio centenar de horas de contenido para mantenernos entretenidos, que en muy pocas ocasiones se nos hará pesado; menos aun teniendo la posibilidad de seleccionar una dificultad inicial que se adapte a nuestras dotes. El sistema de exploración y la combinación de géneros hacen del título de Retro Forge algo único y especial, que a pesar de sus puntos negativos, es un indispensable.

Souldiers es un juego de rol metroidvania visualmente hermoso que ofrece un desafío para los veteranos del género. Tiene una gran cantidad de problemas de jugabilidad que empeoran la experiencia y por ello no es un título recomendado para todo el mundo.

After 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.
