Release Date: June 2, 2022
Action platform game in metroidvania style. In Souldiers we take on the role of one of three characters, who explore the fantastic land at the crossroads of worlds and face the dangers lurking there. Game features colourful, pixelart graphics.
Souldiers is a metroidvania action platform game. It was developed by Retro Forge studio and was published by Dear Villagers.
Souldiers takes us on a journey to a fantastic world. During the game we take on the role of a hero who in the middle of a fight for his kingdom is transferred to a mysterious land called Terragaya, located between the worlds of the living and the dead. To get out of here we have to make a long journey full of dangers.
Souldiers is a side-scroller. While exploring Terragaya, we discover more secrets of this land, solve environmental puzzles, jump on platforms and avoid various traps, as well as face hordes of enemies. As befits a metroidvania, levels are full of alternate paths, and many places require you to meet certain conditions to get to.
Fighting enemies is one of the main elements of the game. How the dynamic skirmishes look like largely depends on which character class you decide on before you start. While the scout equipped with a shield and sword excels in close combat, the wizard uses combat magic, and the archer eliminates enemies from a distance. Regardless of which profession we decide on, during battles we have to show dexterity and reflexes. In addition to regular adversaries, powerful bosses stand in our way. As we progress, we improve the protagonist's skills and gain new attacks, as well as unlock better and better equipment.
Souldiers features colorful, pixel art graphics in an eye-catching style straight from the 16-bit era. We especially like the detailed and varied locations, as well as the richly animated attacks.

Game Ratings for Souldiers Video Game.
Softpedia: 7.5 / 10 by Cosmin Vasile
Souldiers has interesting core mechanics and the sort of art style that will certainly attract fans of the Metroidvania genre or those looking to activate their nostalgia. But the story is mostly there as a reason for the action and combat can quickly become overwhelming in terms of difficulty. The game also has significant problems with the camera and there are plenty of reports of corrupted saves.
New Game Network: 70 / 100 by Yasmine Hubbard
Souldiers certainly won't be to everyone's taste, due to its lackluster plot and technical hiccups, but it's definitely one to check out if you are into Metroidvania or Souls-like games.
Checkpoint Gaming: 7.5 / 10 by Tom Quirk
Souldiers is quite good, but doesn’t quite reach the peaks that it aims for. However, despite its unbalanced and restrictive class system and frequent difficulty spikes, there is a ton to recommend, from its detailed and varied world, beautiful animations, and engaging combat. Souldiers is not for the faint of heart, but if you’re prepared for its challenges and looking for a deep and engaging metroidvania platformer to get into, Souldiers is worth the recommendation.
