  • monetization
    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization strategy for "Soulbind: Tales of the Underworld" has been criticized as deceptive, with the game being described as an advertisement rather than a full product. Reviewers express concern over the unethical practices of the developer, including the use of fake reviews and misleading marketing tactics that prioritize profit over genuine gaming experiences. Overall, the monetization approach is seen as harmful to gamers, as it clutters the market with low-quality content disguised as legitimate games.

    • “The purpose of this advertisement and the rather large number of fake/paid reviews on it is to get you to shell out $8 USD to buy the full product, and given the shockingly unethical nature of the developer, I can't recommend that.”
    • “While it might seem like an innocuous mistake, publishing demos and advertisements as if they are full games is misleading and in some ways harmful.”
    • “It's impossible for me to recommend this incorrectly published advertising spam to gamers; you deserve better than adverts.”
  • gameplay
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay features a satisfying loop that combines exploration, mystery, and a sense of progression, though some mechanics, like the dodgeroll, are criticized for being clunky. While the core mechanics are engaging and innovative, particularly with limb changes, overall gameplay is described as standard with some inconsistencies.

    • “The core mechanics introduce a satisfying loop that kept me engaged, blending exploration with a sense of mystery and progression that feels earned.”
    • “I liked the prologue, and the gameplay too. I guess I am going to buy the actual game; I highly recommend playing.”
    • “Excellent mechanics of changing limbs.”
    • “The 'miss' mechanic makes no sense.”
    • “The dodgeroll mechanic is so clunky and weird that you might as well just jump over whatever you're trying to dodge.”
    • “The gameplay is basically standard.”
  • humor
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is highlighted by its quirky premise of playing as an ordinary skeleton who can swap body parts with defeated enemies, adding a unique twist to gameplay. Players also appreciate the improved level design, which features amusing background animations and clever enemy placements that enhance the comedic experience.

    • “It's funny, you're an ordinary skeleton, an outsider, but you have a special feature - you can replace your body parts with body parts of defeated enemies.”
    • “The level design is much better; you find traps, funny background animations, enemy positioning, etc.”
    • “This is funny and beautiful.”
  • grinding
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players generally find the grinding experience enjoyable, with one user noting that they didn't feel bored while grinding for two hours. However, there is a desire for easier communication with developers regarding access to additional content.

    • “Grinding feels like a never-ending chore, and it quickly becomes tedious.”
    • “The grind is so repetitive that it drains the fun out of the game.”
    • “I spent hours grinding, but it felt more like a punishment than a rewarding experience.”
  • music
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game has been criticized for its repetitive nature, leading players to turn it off after a short period of play. Many users suggest that extending the music tracks could enhance the overall experience and reduce the strain caused by the lack of variety.

    • “The music track needs to be longer; after a couple dozen minutes of play, I turned the music to zero because it became a bit strained due to highlighted repetitions.”
  • graphics
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's graphics are highlighted for their striking art style, featuring hand-drawn animation, atmospheric lighting, and a distinctive color palette that enhance the overall experience. While the movement controls may feel slightly loose, the compelling visual design compensates for this, creating a memorable and immersive world.

    • “The visual design is especially noteworthy: whether it’s hand-drawn animation, atmospheric lighting, or a distinctive color palette, the aesthetic choices elevate the experience and give the world a memorable identity.”
    • “While it doesn’t quite match those games in terms of movement precision, there’s a slight looseness to the controls that may take some getting used to—it more than compensates with a compelling gameplay hook and a striking art style.”
