Seedborne Soldiers

Art style is unique. Game is challenging but fun. Lots of different combinations. Just needs more replayability and uniqueness to the enemies and you have yourself a golden game. Definitely worth the price.

This is an amazing autobattler that you should definitely try the demo of ASAP. I love the genre, and I've played a lot of games in the genre, including: The Last Flame, Esports Godfather, Backpack Battles, Astronarch, Path of Achra, Super Auto Pets, Teamfight Tactics, DotA Underlords, and more. The graphics are based on a certain era, so the demo will give you a great sense of whether this is your type of game. This is a labor of love by people who are truly passionate about this type of game, and I haven't had this much fun since I did all the challenges in The Last Flame. The PROS: - Seedborne Soldiers has a ton of different traits and adheres to the classic autobattler formula of 'getting more units in a trait family to power up those units' but has 22 different traits and allows you to graft traits onto units. If you absolutely love that Light + Sage unit but have a Fire team, just graft them with Fire. Now they have three traits! There's also a great balance of 'main' traits that are the core of your strategy and supporting ones that you splash into. They also have trait variations on some units to keep things fresh. - The rougelike map allows you to pick what kind of units, items, and encounters you want to focus on, which reduces some of the variability that comes in arena autobattlers where you're just refreshing the shop and praying. - The relics that you get are similar to Slay the Spire relics. They can change the direction of your team composition and have a good spread between powering up an individual unit vs giving benefits to your whole team. - Runs end at about 35 minutes, which means that they don't overstay their welcome. The CONS: - The graphic style isn't going to be for everyone. - Learning the different traits, relics, items, and abilities is more overwhelming at first since you have all units available right away. The codex is there, but I didn't utilize it as much as I should have, so my early builds consisted of me trying to make a team without knowing what my options were. - No daily challenges or other content like you'd see in Monster Train and other games, but the devs are very active and fixed a bug I found within hours. I've played 21 hours in just a few days. The 'just one more' game feeling hits HARD with this game and I have plenty of traits that I haven't built teams around yet because I've been so busy trying all the others. Try the demo, y'all!

[The Last Flame] 이나 [Tales And Tactics] 같은 게임류 찾다가 비슷한 게 보이길래 찜 해놓고 출시날 바로 사서 즐기고 있습니다. 셋 중에는 이 게임이 롤토체스에 가장 가까운 맛이 느껴지네요. 단점은 초상화가 못생긴 것들이 좀 있다는거랑 억까 스테이지가 존재해요. 게임이 클리어 보상만 보고 스테이지 골라서 진입하게 되는데, 가끔 억까몹 나와서 그냥 터져버리면 꽁패 당합니다. [Slay the Spire]처럼 내가 맵 줄기를 골라서 위로 올라가면 해당 라운드 보스 잡고. 같은 방식으로 3번 하면 끝납니다. 빌드 좀 완성됐다 싶으면 그대로 끝나버려서 좀 아쉽긴 합니다. 앞으로 업데이트만 잘해주면 좋아하실 분들 많을 거 같아요. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 26.6.10 업적까지 다 완료했습니다. 재밌네요. 지금도 간간히 게임 들어가서 한번씩 깹니다. 하다보면 30분은 후딱가요 희망사항으로 3번째 스테이지까지 깨면 그 후로 최종보스전으로 돌입?하는 루트가 추가되면 좋겠네요. 잘 키운 빌드가 그냥 끝나는게 아쉬워요. 그리고 메인메뉴에서 도감을 볼 수 있게 추가해주면 좋겠어요.

A really fun autobattler with some roguelike elements and a good focus on strategy and teambuilding. The traitmatching mechanic adds a level of strategy beyond just picking the strongest team. I played a bunch of the demo before early access and saw the effort the developers put into the game, the gameplay is smooth and even newcomers to the genre like me can pick it up really easily. I really love the nostalgic PS1 graphics and music. Some of the units are hilarious - a washing machine? A rock?! I think I'm going to try for a 100% rock only speedrun soon.

I’ve enjoyed Seedborne Soldiers so far! It’s a fresh take on the auto battler roguelike genre, with some unique mechanics and fun synergies that make each run feel different. Most of my auto battler experience is playing TFT and this game provides a more relaxing pace in comparison, though unfortunately no cute cosmetics ;). Even in early access, it’s already got a solid foundation and plenty of depth to explore. I’m excited to see how it evolves with future updates

Absolutely recommended if you like the genre. It has a few balance issues, but that's what early access is for.

It's good

My issues can basically all be summed up with three issues (some of which are influenced by the others): 1) Game balance 2) Overreliance on RNG 3) Lack of player agency The game is pretty fun; I've put some hours into it because auto-battlers are one of my favorite genres. Currently, I just find myself getting frustrated with my time with this game, instead of having fun... which as we all know is the purpose of playing a game. I've beaten the highest difficulty, and feel like I have seen more than enough. More recent updates have tried to fix some of the above issues, yet they still persist. I'm glad that there were some minor fixes, but honestly it's just too little too late. I respect the work of the devs, but can't recommend this one.

edit: It's gotten more stable, and improved - hats off to the dev for doing the work. I will mention that there's zero meta-progression or difficulty levels, but have had fun with it. I like it, but I've had two crashes right before a floor boss that completely destroy the run - it doesn't save between well, so it ends up just restarting really good runs. Needs fixed before I can recommend.

Exactly as advertised on the tin, an autobattler roguelike with nice comp variety. If you are like me and roguelike + X genre is already a good sell and you enjoy TFT, then I think you ought to give this a try.
