SOULVARS is a tactical deck-building RPG set in a futuristic world where souls can be digitized. As a Soul-bearer, you must equip 'Soul-bits'—cards representing different actions—to battle monstrous 'Dominators.' Experiment with over 100 different Arts by combining your bits in specific sequences. With deep customization, gear systems, and intense turn-based combat, SOULVARS offers a hardcore RPG experience for mobile.

89/100

SOULVARS is a breath of fresh air for JRPG fans, especially those who crave a deep, crunchy combat system. The 'Soul-bit' deck-building mechanic is incredibly innovative, allowing for a level of customization that I haven't seen in many mobile RPGs. Instead of just picking 'Attack' or 'Defend,' you're building hands to execute powerful 'Arts.' It feels like a mix of Mega Man Battle Network and a classic turn-based RPG, and the result is intoxicating.

The pixel art is phenomenal, capturing a gritty, sci-fi aesthetic that perfectly matches the dark, 'Soul-bearer' narrative. The game is quite challenging and doesn't hold your hand, which I found refreshing. You really need to engage with the gear system and understand elemental weaknesses to survive the later encounters. It’s a premium experience through and through, devoid of the usual gacha fluff, making it a must-play for anyone who values strategic depth in their handheld gaming.

What an incredibly unique game with so much to offer!

At first it was rough but once you figure out the mechanics, it's hard to put down. I do have some major suggestions. (1) Fix the English translation, it's just not good. It makes the story and game mechanics hard to understand. (2) Add a volume slider for sound effects. The music is some of the best I've ever heard in a mobile game but it drowns out the battle sound effects. A separate sound slider for each would be preferred. (3) Have the mini-map mark where you've already visited or a path of where you last walked for maybe 3-5 spaces? It's way too easy to get lost. (4) Make the enemy weakness bar near the bottom of the screen, possibly above the player battle card box. The game relies SO MUCH on the weakness chart that it actually becomes a chore to look up and down constantly on the screen. Make it easier to look at when choosing cards by putting the weakness chart right next to the battle card selection. This will make the game easier to play. (5) Add vibrations to battle attacks. I think this would be a huge game changer. The phone vibrations in the menus are wonderful but if you added vibrations to battle moves, it would give more impact to the cool animations. The menu vibrations are so good that they make the battle feel less impactful since you don't "feel" the attacks. I hope you take my advice and create the ultimate game. Thank you!

So good!

This game blew me away. I am having so much fun with it. I was not expecting it to be this good. If you like turn-based RPG’s then you will love this game. The battle system was a little confusing at first but just read the tutorials and play battles and you will get it in no time. I love the sound effects, the vibrations, music, beautiful artwork and animations. Great job! 👏 Thank you for making such a great game! You are awesome! 🙂❤️👍

indie gem

This is a really neat rpg. English translation isn’t great and the gameplay mechanics are dense and and a little hard to understand. Neither is a problem for me. The most unique, fully fledged indie title i’ve played in a while.

Just thank you

This is one of my favorite iOS games. It has unique and fun RPG mechanics, has a cool and dark JRPG aesthetic, and makes the most of the vertical format. WE NEED A SEQUEL!

This is so insanely cool!

Perfect gameplay, incredible mechanics, and the best pixel art I’ve seen since... ever. Every aspect of this game flows with a unique style- Can’t recommend it enough!!! Seriously, this game is PERFECT. All right. After playing for a few more hours I’d like to revise my estimation. Upwards. What the heck are you waiting for?!

Only for a phone.
