AI Limit Reviews
I recommend picking it up if you’re looking for a light Soulslike offering that delivers value for the price. But if you’re in search of a full-course Soulslike experience, there is one major alternative currently available.
AI Limit is a soulslike without any soul, offering a few interesting but unimpactful new ideas and a whole lot of bugs across its entirely unremarkable adventure.
AI Limit blends anime flair with Soulslike depth, offering immersive worldbuilding, smart combat, and a fresh take on challenge and accessibility.
AI Limit is a blast to play, and is worth checking out for fans of the Soulslike genre, especially at the low cost of admission. It doesn't necessarily reinvent the wheel, but there's enough remix to the formula here to keep the game feeling fresh and exciting as you explore its excellent post-apocalyptic world.
If you are a mud enthusiast, then you'll find a lot to love about AI Limit and will likely see it through to completion. If, like the rest of us, you're ambivalent about mud, then AI Limit doesn't do nearly enough with its combat, nor with its world-building, to keep you playing for long.
While the adventure borrows heavily from Bloodborne, Dark Souls, and Stellar Blade, it never quite manages to match them. This is because it feels like more of a tribute act rather than a game that drives the genre forward. As fun as AI Limit is, we’ve seen it all before.
On a functional level, AI Limit fulfills what it sets out to do and does so with very few hiccups in most regards. Outside of that, it exists as a time capsule of the mechanics that the industry is explicitly moving away from. While imitation can be argued to be the strongest form of flattery, here it feels tacky and it dilutes what ambition the team had in their own right. What is here, is good enough. But there isn't much outside of that.
In the absence of other and more impressive Soulslikes, AI Limit could definitely step in and fill a void. It gets the basics right and even iterates in some enjoyable ways.
AI LIMIT is an unusual mashup of familiar solutions that is unlikely to be a big hit, but well worth a look.

Are you desperately looking for a new soulslike to play, and you also like anime girls that fight in high heels and dress like they're going to a cosplay show, and also don't mind a graphic style straight out of 2014? Well then I guess AI Limit isn't the worst choice you could make, as it does offer a fairly smooth experience, but it's also not going to be a great one.

With clever iterations on soulslike conventions and a sharp implementation of videogame fundamentals, AI Limit has frequent thrills. But its derivative art direction, tired level design, and uninspiring narrative make it hard to recommend over its obvious inspirations. FromSoftware's oeuvre draws on literature and visual art to feel unique and daring; AI Limits' influences are limited to other videogames, and it's all the lesser for it.
AI Limit is a pretty good, but overly safe, futuristic soulslike marred with some minor technical issues.
Despite fun new additions to the formula, AI LIMIT can't cross the finish line without stumbling along the way.
There are just too many amazing Soulslike efforts to justify spending a lot of time with AI Limit, but that doesn't make it a bad game. It has some unique ideas that switch up combat just enough to be interesting, and its anime art style initially impresses. But for seasoned veterans of the genre, it doesn't provide much of a challenge and mostly feels like a retread. I'm sure there are people out there who have been scarred by Dark Souls and are looking for an entry-level Soulslike to ease them back in, and that's the kind of individual I'd recommend AI Limit to. They'll have fun, but it's a stepping stone to something far more riveting elsewhere.
This unapologetic soulslike punches well above its price tag in the areas that matter most, providing a deep and satisfying combat system that sustains through its 30 hour runtime. While AI Limit certainly supplies ample value, its limited budget shows in several less crucial areas.
AI Limit is a game best suited for dedicated Souls-like enthusiasts. It delivers a strong sense of exploration, offering fresh ideas and clever nods to classic genre staples, even for those well-versed in similar titles.

AI Limit doesn't excel at anything, it doesn't show the world its charms, but if you look at the game as a set of ingredients, you won't have a bad word to say about it. Because it plays pleasantly, dying isn't unnecessarily frustrating, but every undetected attack hurts you and you know exactly where you made a mistake.

The developers really tried with an exceptionally difficult genre. AI Limit won’t be remembered alongside FromSoftware or Koei Tecmo’s work in the genre, but it’s also by no means a poor effort. It’s like the work that a student who really understands the source material produces. It might only be a shade of the master’s work, but you can’t help but hope they get another swing at it, because they’re on the cusp of breaking out and carving out something brilliant with its own identity.
AI LIMIT is well-designed and has interesting lore and characters. However, the slow beginning and bland early levels take away from the experience.
AI LIMIT shines in its world design, dark setting, and strategic combat, offering a worthy challenge for fans of the soulslike genre. However, its high difficulty (and consequently recurring deaths) can be frustrating for some players. Issues such as translation errors and bugs also prevent a more refined experience. Still, for those looking for a challenging and engaging RPG, AI LIMIT delivers a rewarding experience.
