    [url=http://store.steampowered.com/curator/32482033/]Crim's Humble Opinion Curator A Mixing Pot of Genres The ever growing and ever changing battle royale genre is never really a game I'm fully behind at the start. However the idea to take that genre and put it with metroidvania which is a style of game I relatively enjoy was an excellent breath of fresh air to the over used mechanic. Battle Royale gameplay is pretty standard as far as what's understood as the formula elements at play. You pit…

    I'll keep this short. Simply put, this game is amazing and a lot of fun to play. Think Castlevania meets Dark Souls meets the battle royale genre. Combat is very skill-based, and team positioning can make or break an engagement. Soulfire is monetized in-game with 100% cosmetic purchases, providing the player with a wealth of skins and colors to customize their character. At no point can the player purchase something to provide an advantage. The development team listens to their players and…

    Genre - 2D Battle Royale I am a massive fan of the concept of Battle Royale but have struggled to find a game that doesn't have some crazy building mechanic or just turn into a Twitch Shooter at the end of the game, with campers always winning the round. This game actually has an interesting loot and combat system, that allowed me to get to the end on both games I played. You will be put into random dungeons and fight away from the killer mist to the centre and escape. Of course when I did…

    Tried it. Stuck at the tutorial, because I am supposed to drink a healing potion, which is impossible with full life. Retried: Same issue. Afterwards I could not even open a match. No other lobbies online. Had a female character and wasn´t able to change that. Unplayable at he moment. Asking for refund.

    There is no reason to spend $7 on a dead game whose developer abandoned it by the time it fully launched. No players online at any time and a fully monetized cash shop with battle pass and cosmetics.

    Don't mistake this game with the comics. Soulfire gives the flexibility of playing between keyboard (with mouse) or controllers, and is a side-scroller combat game. The games start you in a dungeon with tutorials and a practice level before you really get into the combat. My overall experience playing was smooth, bug-free and lag-free with some interesting dialect from the characters. Once I got into the real thing, I'm a marking on the map in a dungeon with other players. It's a lot of…

    ! Jarrizard's Pros and Cons Review ! Pros + Overall art of the game is good. + Three types of control settings whichever you fancy. (KB + MS, KB, Controller) = Not exactly a bad thing but the narration is a Bastion imitation. Cons - Freezes every couple of second. My machine should be powerful enough for it's simplistic graphics. - Controls aren't smooth and there's so much unnecessary delay and animations that could be changed for a more fluid gameplay. - Low playerbase. !

    Chinese mobile game port with obvious typos that any advanturer would see, with Chinese characters still present in the tutorial. Only about 5 cosmetic items in the store can be unlocked without spending money and there's like 5 different daily rewards to click through. When you actually get to the multiplayer game it's not that bad and is an interesting concept (2D hack and slash Battle Royale), but I'm guessing a lot of people play on mobile or something because I won 1st place on my first…

    This game reminds me of my childhood SEGA console games, old-school combined with the new battle royale modes ( there have been in the past few years a few games in flash and java etc with battle royale sort of ,2d fighting stick-men etc lol but not as good as this one though ) The soundtrack is nice,the fighting also, design if you like games like this one, Darkest Dungeon etc is also lovely. The gameplay ,well, this is what Prince of Persia meets PUBG would've been hah, very nice gameplay.…

    Couldn´t finish tutorial, even after taking damage, it was not possible to use the HP potion. Couldn´t play any match either, after I get in a team and someone leaves, it keeps me waiting forever to enter the dungeon. Was not willing to wait another 5min to get into another match.

    The best way to describe this game is as a combination of the look and map style of Castlevania and the combat of Dark Souls as a Battle Royale. If you like those games and want to play a Battle Royale, but don't like FPS games, I recommend you buy Soulfire. Despite that this game has some problems. One is the fact, that it has some bugs, like the player character not walking, but teleporting forward if you move at any speed, which isn't normal walking, including sprinting, another one is the…

    This game feels pretty polished for early access. It's great to play with a friend. I love battle royale but suck at shooters. This game is much better for rpg players. Some cons are since it's early access alot of the systems like ranked and other maps are missing. Also it seems the games fill with alot of bots. I would like to see a scoring system or name list added as well. Not very many skins to choose from. You can only play as a white male or female. Definitely reccomend.

    The game seems to be dead.. It may not seem like a lot of time, but what time I've spent in the game was mostly trying to find a server to play on. No luck however. What also bothered me was the movement. It really felt a bit slow and made the combat seem clunky. And as mentioned before, the time that I didn't spend waiting to find a server to play on, was me, trying to complete a tutorial which was a mess on its own. Maybe this is just not the type of game, I would enjoy, maybe it actually…

    The Shrine of the Silver Monkey was perhaps the most iconic of rooms in Olmec's Temple. The only room to last the entire show's run, it was also considered the room that either made or broke a team's chances at winning. In order to pass through, a contestant had to put together the Silver Monkey: a three-piece statue made out of a square-shaped base, a middle piece that fitted onto a small bulge on the base, and a headpiece featuring a rod that fit through the other pieces.

It is an easy to learn - hard to master game with a combat system wich allows very tactical but fast action. Players can equip two melee Weapons and there are diffrent primary and secondary attacks/attack combos for every weapon. Players can also equip a shield or various ranged weapons and one magic spell, both working with a cooldown. Weapons…

I won my first match, but I felt the same feeling of just hanging on like in the Souls series. I think this game is brilliant and will become even more so as the online community grows. 9/10

    This game is a lot of fun. It's definitely a battle royale, but the combat feels more...tactical rather than chaotic. It's a little hard to describe, but even though there are probably more bots than human players it's still satisfying to get into some fights and grab some loot. I think this game would have benefited from being free to play, as not having enough players feels like it is the only real problem the game has right now. The Game will start after exactly 2:15 of queue pretty much no…

    Usually I don't play Battle Royale games, but this game feels different. It is more deliberate, more strategic and definitely quite atmospheric even as a 2.5D game. I played for quite a few hours in the beta and definitely loved every minute of it so far. The combat feels fresh with focus on melee weapons and ranged/spells being "special attacks". Its only downside at the moment is the playerbase is small but the developer is working on expanding that. The wait time for matches is minimal…
