It is enough for a company to hit the nail on the head and develop a video game that breaks it without anyone knowing why, for a whole legion of competitors to appear afterwards trying to take advantage of that pull. If not, remember the moment when MOBAs became fashionable, such as Dota 2 , League of Legends, etc. Or now with Vampire Survivors who are getting imitators like this Soulstone Survivors .
The roguelike formula is improved
This being the case, we cannot accuse all those who arrive of simply copying, because the truth is that in most cases they tend to innovate in some aspect that makes them a little more unique. This is the case of Brotato (of which we have already told you) or of this Soulstone Survivors that takes the formula a little further than the other two titles that have stood out the most in their tough battle with Vampire Survivors , which is, for the moment, the one that more success has been achieved.
And why, if you have enjoyed the titles that we mentioned before, are you going to lose yourself in this Soulstone Survivors ? Well, because of the three it is the one that has best evolved the basic concepts of these roguelikes in which our character attacks automatically while we only have to worry about moving around the screen and, from time to time, choosing what powers we want to learn with each new level up.
This Soulstone Survivors opts for a 3D graphic environment, very fashionable and with polygons without textures, only applying colors, but which suits the scenarios through which we move very well. In addition, all the evolution of the character is carried out in a clearer way and almost in the Blizzard style where the usability of each menu does not have strange hidden options and they are just as we see them. What’s more, as if the above were not enough , we will have a menu very similar to that of the creators of Warcraft in their MMORPG where we can not only see the passive power that we can activate, but also all the attack countdowns to better calculate the instant in which that we are going to attack
Soulstone Survivors in early access
But if we bring it here it is because you already have this game ready to enjoy because it has only been on Steam for a couple of weeks in early access at a price of 9.99 euros. An opportunity to try a genre that has made its way in recent times thanks to the sales of games that, yes, copy each other, but together they are making the formula evolve in the face of future competitors.
We don’t know if you’ve already tried Vampire Survivors or Brotato , especially, but if you haven’t, it’s time for you to experiment once and for all with this genre that is revolutionizing Steam and the community, which can’t escape the fun of games in the that our hero always starts from scratch. And where is the grace? Well, in trying each new variant of a weapon, a power or a defensive buff that allows us to survive a few more minutes on the screen, in the midst of the hordes that attack us without rest.
