Soulblight succeeds in temporarily satiating your desire for solid rogue-like on Switch, but it fails to maintain your interest after extended play.
"Soulblight" is a challenging, top-down action roguelike set in a dark, ruined reality. Instead of traditional leveling, it features a unique "Tainting Mechanic" that rewards you with traits based on your choices, encouraging role-playing and influencing your strengths and weaknesses. With dynamic combat, randomly generated levels, and a high difficulty level including permadeath, the game offers a tense and exciting experience for those willing to explore its depths.

50%Embrace your flaws --- Soulblight review
Soulblight is a top-down action roguelike that features simple yet tough combat. The tainting mechanic and injury effects are clever and keep things interesting. Unfortunately, combat is hard to master, and you may end up dying a lot more than you're willing to accept.
