Soulstone Survivors (2025)

I have read the other comments about this game being grindy. It can be depending on what you want to do in the game which I find excellent.

In the start menu it shows you your skill breakdown with DPS on the attacks you choose. You need to be strategic about it, this makes it go a lot faster if you pick the right things.

I don't find it boring, I find I fun, I want to see what the next weapon will do for my character, what prestige is going to unlock, etc.

The necromancer is the easy button if you pick the right skills.

It's a fun game. No more grindy than the rest of them.

This take on a 'Vampire Survivors' style game emphasizes build diversity and more minute control over your character.

It's high damage enemies don't always gel well with the laser light show that is the presentation, but it doesn't stop the game from being massively compelling.

In it's current early access state, the 'earliest' of its components are its out of combat progression layers which fall off pretty early and will leave you with no way to spend your currencies. If that's a big incentive for you, I'd say the game is currently in 'wishlist and see' territory rather than being an outright purchase.

So far the first bulletheaven game that I didn't really like. I think it's currrently the most succesful besides VS and I don't understand why.

The look of the game strikes me as sort of childish and cheap. In the first map you have to 'eliminate the Lords of the void' and that sounds damn cringy. Am I 12 years old or what?

The monsters don't make a satisfying sound when they pop up. That's super important in this genre. The soundtrack is meh.

You need a second hand to play it but it does not really feel like you do a lot with it. So no coffee drinking. That's bad.

Also, there is no female protagonist available. Really guys?

Probably there is more depth on the end game side of the game? I don't know, I will not play that long.

Also, it's twice as expensive as other games in the genre (10 bucks). How is that justified?
