Atmospheric role-playing game
SOULS is a free-to-play role-playing game from Habby, set in a broken continent and now consumed by darkness. You control a troupe of unlikely characters in this fantasy RPG with hero-collecting elements. Travel across the world, summon powerful allies, and equip your heroes with better equipment. Enjoy top-tier graphics, an atmospheric soundtrack, and great set designs.
In terms of overall quality, SOULS can easily hold its own against other RPGs like Genshin Impact or Honkai: Star Rail. It is also easy to learn, although keeping up could get grindy unless you leverage its in-game purchases.
Choose your heroes
While the story for SOULS isn’t as deep as other story-driven RPGs, it makes the game a casual experience where players travel around a land filled with monsters and ruins. This game is easy to get into, thanks to its comprehensive tutorial and gentle pacing that is beginner-friendly. Also, as mentioned, the graphics for this game are top-tier, making it additionally enjoyable.
As a hero-collecting game, it does put in the effort to make finding and enlisting them worthwhile. There are over 60 heroes distributed across different rarity levels and classes. These play into the game beyond the aesthetic value. Races and classes follow a strengths and weaknesses pattern, making it important for players to choose their lineups well. The same goes for the heroes’ rarity levels.
With rarity and classes considered, you’ll learn that not all heroes are worth investing in, although they’ll all be useful in the overall gameplay experience. With the Recycle Hero function, you can scrap extra characters for additional resources. Even then, the only catch in the game is that its gacha mechanics could get grindy for free players, with the in-game microtransactions becoming important the more you progress.
A fun hero collector
Overall, SOULS is a fun and engaging game that offers hours of quality gameplay. While lacking in story, the world is quite generous in terms of audio and visual treats that many players will appreciate. As a hero-collecting game, it does offer a good selection of them, with added variety in terms of rarity and classes, each having a profound impact on the gameplay experience.
