Critic Reviews for SOULVARS
The game might have had a rough start with laying out the story and explaining the gameplay mechanics, but SOULVARS quickly smoothed out and got in its JRPG groove thanks to a good mix of deck-building and turn-based action. Additionally, it let its retro vibe personality show and it quickly became a pleasant experience.
SOULVARS is a complex video game dedicated to fans of classic Japanese role-playing games and, especially, to those who love their deep combat systems. Newcomers might find combat hard to comprehend but the game does offer the resources to understand the mechanics and use them in cool ways.
Overall, the gameplay mechanics of SOULVARS were enjoyable, but the story is repetitive and the characters and story felt lacking. If you enjoy deck-builders, this should be up your alley, but if you're here for the narrative I would look elsewhere.
When you add up its clever combat, involving party setup systems, and streamlined dungeons, SOULVARS equates to one epic indie.
While it has an obvious sense of style, and the turn-based battles generally bring some excitement, it isn’t without issues
Despite issues with ambiguity in terms of story and gameplay mechanics, SOULVARS manages to shine as a solid and rewarding experience for those willing to invest the time to master its intricacies.
