Battle Souls

Having played the game for a few days, I have the following things to say: the game is very beautiful visually, it has a dark atmosphere that just makes you want to come back to playing the game. However, the experience is far from great: sometimes autosaves don't work, the mechanics are not properly explained, it becomes immensely repetitive after a few hours and the "stun" ability is completely bugged, as it stuns my own characters instead of stunning the enemy. Ok game but needs improvement.

The auto-save game feature is horribly buggy and has caused me to lose 10-15min of gameplay at a time fairly consistently. This includes literally everything from Gems earned through ad watching, to progress on levels, to summons earned. Additionally, you're unable to progress through levels while the auto-save is perpetually stuck trying to do its job. The issue exists naturally when there's an interruption in internet connect, but also oddly when there is no interruption. Not worth playing.

the battle background really needs some work, i can see all 3 layers of it on my phone (SGS9), and i hoped that you could do multiple quests at the same time, but unfortunately you have to pick one and stick with it or you never finish it, hopefully that changes, I'll overlook it and keep playing it because its in the early stages and I'll see how much it grows. overall, not bad, but im not going to go around saying its exceptional in any regards.

This game does not save your progress correctly, I played for the first time last night for several hours. After closing the game I turn it back on and find my characters and progress rewound back to maybe the first 30 minutes of gameplay. I'm not going to do it all over again just to waste more time, whoever developed this should put more effort into basic functionality. Saving progress is a vital aspect of RPG gaming which is grindy enough. Also there is no exit button in the game, that is just weird. Don't waste your time like I did.

Interesting game that needs some polishing and bug removals. I experienced in my game where the enemy kept using "defense up" but weren't getting the buff. Another bug I experienced is the one where my game was saving for a long time, not letting me play. These are just to name a few. Good concept, and a lot of room for new things, like maybe more encounters, and more heroes from more categories (maybe like tanks, etc.) Really beautiful art, and has great potential, I suggest you play.

Has potential but lacks in a few areas. For one, there could be more customization with the heroes. For instance, the ability to equip different gears and trinkets to affect their stats and skills. There is also a problem with saving. When I select what quest Id like to work on it doesn't save my choice, but instead acts as if I didn't select a quest to begin with. It's making me want to uninstall. There also needs to be categories and sorting for the heroes so you can locate them easier.

Great beginnings. Will probably rate 5 as it develops. The map system seems a little unexciting. Not sure what you could to to give it a little flair. The graphics are amazing- the look of the game is spot on. The battle system is decent, though the character levelling system could use some fine tuning. Thank you and I hope this encourages rather than discourages.

Really fun game only problem i am having with it is the saving. Every now and again it just doesn't compete a save. i waited about 10 minutes for it to save and it never did, plus you can't do anything while it's saving, so you just have to exit the game and start from the last save which is really annoying. But other then that it is a great game.

Everything people say in the review about losing progress is true. You will get frustrated because it is literally waste of time. The game is nice overall but need a lot of polishing, seems like it is in beta state. Biggest issues are the game breaking bugs, you will be forced to close a lot because the game just hangs, quests can't be completed, progress loss, skills not working properly and it goes on. Problems are there for over a month already, try again next year maybe.

The game is ok. It's really interesting for me doing quest and leveling character, but there're bugs. And that's a great problem. First two worlds were ok, but starting with catacombs it's kind of a noisy stuff. The other problems with quests. The daily quests simply are not working from day to day. The quests description can be difficult to understand. But Catacombs "not good idea" is the biggest problem. I don't get what exactly I need to drink to complete it. Help me) I like this game.

I've played Tap Souls before and really wanted to try this one. Sadly as other reviews suggest, the game won't even load, it's just stuck on the main loading screen. It's been a while since this was first reported, and the team from TaleSoft doesn't seem to be doing anything. It's obviously an issue with the latest update so they could easily identify it, and if not, they could simply revert it back to the last version. Unfortunately they haven't even shown whether they're aware of the issue.

Great premise for a turn-based freemium model. I like the art esthetic but feel that this experience would be enhanced by adding more frames into the animation. I get that the intent in minimalism in regards to animation but the visuals get lost in battles. Playing on my galaxy note, I realize that the art is not designed for my device. This causes strange clipping issues with the art. I love the concept and would rate it higher, but some of these issues reduce the value of the experience.

I wish there were offline elements. I paid to remove ads to support development. It would be a lot less cumbersome to be able to move from hero to hero via an arrow instead of having to back out of one character to look at another. It's also hard to tell which hero is which. Overall, a really fun game, but still needs streamlining cumbersome chores. Leveling up is slow, but there's always battles you can repeat to earn upgrade materials and farm. It would be very helpful if sorting preferences remained the same ubtil manually changed.

love the pixel look, enjoy the D&D feel. the only thing I would recommend is if the developers implemented an energy system instead of a add system at the end of every match. so far it hasn't thrown off my desire to try it out, but I don't know if I'll stay in the long run to keep playing it if I have to whether an ad after every match. to surmise, great look, with fantastic potential. it definitely scratches that Niche itch

The pixel art is skillfully drawn and the sound is great. But: the game initially boots up with no explanations or tutorials. There are many menus and options but with no idea how to navigate them, the player just ends up blindly clicking through and trying to start the game through process of elimination. Worse still, certain buttons and access points are entirely unlabeled, meaning the player may end up expending a resource they didn't know they had. Bootup walkthrough, please!

I mean it's what the trailor looks like. The colors look a bit bland in a sense but that's how the game wants it to seem. It's a dreadful place to be in. The system could be a bit better especially the hub being labeled or something, I don't play this everyday so if I come back and forget what's what it takes some time to remember. The more specific details are a bit so and so also. The experience level up is weird how I can't put helmets in, only scrolls and the ads to get crystals just stops.

It was fun, until the game wouldn't start anymore. I'd launch it and receive a message that read "Ups. There was an error. Please restart Battle Souls". No matter how many times I relaunched the app I woul continue to receive this message. Reinstalling multiple times didn't even fix it. Will change to a 4* rating if the problem is resolved.

The game is fun, you earn crystals at a good rate and the enemies have a decent curve in difficulty. However, as some players have said, the game could randomly reset progress to a certain point. For example yesterday I was at 1-19 near completing chapter 1. But today in at 1-14 and lost a 4 star I managed to grab. Its a serious issue that needs to be fixed or atleast make a form of saving (I.E using google play for the server).

I think this is a good game with inspartion from games like darks souls and darkest dungeon. Gameplay is artful, fast pace, and engaging strategy. The biggest downside is that I keep running into a save bug that ruins my progression, if it weren't for that I would give it a 5 star. I will definitely continue to play this in hopes it gets fixed soon.

Played 80% of this game now. I like the art style, the heroes and enjoy playing the game. But has serious bugs, the worst being: - Randomly skipping one of your heroes turns when they are not stunned. - Not skipping the enemies turn when multiple enemies are stunned. - Some enemies (the Ravens) and enemies in the smouldering river realm never miss. It says they miss but damage is still dealt. - Sometimes it does not save and you need to redo entire stages. 5 Star game otherwise.

Great Game marred by design choices Great game, enjoyed the classic turned based RPG style gameplay. Classic sprites are beautifully done. Too bad this game wants you permanently connected in order to play it at all. Saving seems to be buggy as well. Sometimes its stuck in a perpetual saving attempt. You have to restart the game and lose your progress. Disappointing in this respect.

Awful menu- items have no real descriptions, character sprites glitch and change mid-attack, game crashes when playing for more than 10 minutes. only good point is the short tutorial- it doesn't hold your hand until you've achieved 1/4 of the game like so many other games do, gives you the opportunity to figure stuff out on your own- is exceedingly simple, probably too simple which is its downfall. Also- poorly programmed. Nice idea and graphics, though.

I would rate this higher, but there's currently 2 glitches severely hampening my enjoyment of the game. The first glitch is a stun glitch; whenever I have more than one stunned enemy, it skips one of my characters turns instead of one of theirs. So if I stunned 2 enemies, my fastest character would be stunned, and 3 my 2 fastest would be stunned. In addition, sometimes the music & sound are gone when returning to the main hub, requiring an App restart. If those problems were fixed, it'd be 5/5.

so far, after about an hour of play time, this game is pretty engaging. it takes a bit of trial and error to start figuring things out but I also didnt fully pay attention to the tutorial and I also don't mind a little challenge. I'm not a child, I don't need the game to hold my hand. my only issue so far is that on 3 separate occasions the game has gotten stuck with the save symbol at the bottom of the screen and I could not do anything. lost the 3 5-star guys I got right before it happened.

Initially impressive and almost hit the spot if not for two frustrating issues. Firstly, for some reason occasionally the game skips my turn. Not due to a stun or miss click, it literally goes to my next character, then goes to the next. Secondly, I summon pulled 2 high ranked characters, set them up in my party, only to have the game get "stuck saving". Lost both of them. Having seen this before in other games, I genuinely think it's designed that way intentionally to make you buy more.

Overall fantastic game. The overall menus can be hard to navigate, as there is no text to give you a reference to character choice and that forces you to look at 8-bit pictures smaller than your pinky nail. However, that being my only complaint, the gameplay is very fun and fairly intuitive.
