Reviews

“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 fantastic pixel-art arcade action game. It has very few problems, surprisingly, for being the first title released by ginolabo on Steam. Developers have done a wonderful job in streamlining both the combat and the adventure.””

““SOULVARS uses a retro Japanese role-playing game look that suits the theme and the gameplay well. It's classic pixel art, with a focus on interesting designs for the player-controlled characters and the many cool moves they can execute. It is nice to watch the action unfold but the variety of locations and enemies is limited. More energy has been used to create bosses and their unique moves. The interface is easy to navigate and offers plenty of information for players to process.””
