Soulbound: Online

takes too much time for simple tasks, at least make it so you have to do a dungeon run for your crops to grow instead of making it clash of clans timers lol.

Game honestly is genuinely cool reviews are from a niche community offended they pivoted to not being an NFT game anymore... lol enough said there. And its an indie MMO so server issues make sense on launch day but hopefully they are fixed ASAP or else I'll probably edit my review to negative. They have said they are working on it now so going to keep it positive for now as the art style, and mechanics so far seem pretty cool.

Rezension am Releasetag erstellt. Das spielt scheint um 15 Uhr deutscher Zeit erschienen zu sein. Gegen 16 Uhr habe ich mich eingeloggt. Ich habe keine Warteschlange erleben müssen, allerdings habe ich mehrere Anläufe gebraucht mir einen "Account" aka Charakter zu erstellen. Ich wurde die ersten Minuten nach dem Drücken des "Create new Account"-Knopfes immer wieder sofort disconnected. Irgendwann begann ich diesen Knopf zu spammen, bis ich in die Charaktererstellung gekommen bin. Das Tutorial klappte dann relativ problemlos. Nach dem Tutorial landet man in der Stadt "virelda" oder so ähnlich. Ein paar Quests später schickt man mich in einen Dungeon. Hier begannen die Probleme. Mal bin ich gar nicht erst in den Dungeon hineingekommen. Ein ander mal schloss sich das Spiel während ich im Dungeon war, sodass ich ihn neu starten musste. Als ich den Dungeon endlich abschließen konnte hat meine "Spielzeit" inklusive aller oben genannten Probleme die 120-Minuten Marke überschritten. Direkt danach begann das große Problem, was mich dazu gebracht hat diese Rezension zu schreiben: 1-2 Quests nach dem Dungeon bekommt man Zugang zum Housing System des Spiels. Also eigentlich sollte man das. Ich war zwei weitere Stunden in meinem Progess gestoppt, weil mein aktueller Quest möchte, dass ich mein "Appartment" betrete. Das funktioniert allerdings nicht weil ich die Fehlermeldung "permission not found" bekomme. Nun also, mit 4 Stunden Spielzeit habe ich effektiv 45 Minuten gespielt und komme nicht weiter. Die Entwickler antworten im Discord weder in den öffentlichen Channels noch auf bug-reports. Solange ich also nicht weiter spielen kann, kann ich dieses Spiel nicht empfehlen. Was die Anschuldigungen an die Entwickler bzgl Scamversuchen angeht, möchte ich mich nicht äußern, da ich das weder bestätigen noch widerlegen kann.

[h1]Nearly all negative reviews thus far are part of a targeted hate campaign.[/h1] The servers are laggy on day one of an MMO. If you've played any new release multiplayer game in your life, it's a given. The lag has already abated and the game is silky smooth now. I'm UK playing on USA overworld servers and my ping is perfect. When you go into dungeons it's a server selected at the best region for you or between all players involved. It's literally not a thing anymore already in less than a day, so before anything else, take that into consideration when you look at these other reviews, they soiled their britches because they couldn't wait twelve hours. As for the "2 hour refund scam". Do you eat lead paint chips? Don't stay on the game if the servers or laggy. There's a discord. Check later on in the day. Don't sit there slack jawed breathing hard at your monitor. Ride a bike or something idk I'm not your dad. As for the history of the developers and such, I can't personally attest to that but it seems like the grand majority of anyone who's anyone was trying their luck at crypto/NFTs for the brief period anyone cared. That was the past, this is the present. The only update post launch we have for this game is that monetization is PURELY COSMETIC. There is no avenue for any of this previous behaviour and if they suddenly turn around on this, fair enough, I'll eat my own hat. But freaking out like a child over a game that is currently £11.68 as if it's going to ruin your life and finances is jobless behaviour. Maybe get a job and spend less time worrying about the history of a little pixel game and losing £11.68 on what MAY be a scam with no proven evidence of being so will become less of a life or death situation for you. As for the game itself, it's sort of any generic survival game, runescape and a few different roguelites mashed together. Lots of overworld travel, questing, story, skilling. Mining, fishing, herbing, crafting, player houses where you set up crafting tables to make new equipment, provision, furniture, mounts and other toys. The story thus far (I played about 20 hours of the demo + this review) is not incredibly complicated but fun enough to follow. Written by human beings than generic AI dialogue for sure, the game is very cheeky when it wants to be. Dungeons are definitely where this game shines, you have a main weapon then an "artifact". An artifact is just like, extra abilities. A minigun, casting a fireball, throwing kunai on chains. You can power them up in the overworld to heighten your damage scaling and when you run dungeons in a group of 1-3 people (yes there is matchmaking too if you have no friends like some of the negative reviewers) you get to add mutators to all these tools you have in your arsenal. Example being like, minigun becomes two miniguns. Bombs become cluster bombs. Fireball becomes a blackhole with pull in etc. Nothing you haven't seen before but polished and dopamine heavy combined with an actual MMO gear treadmill and progression. Honestly everything else is fantastic too. Not going to write war and peace about it but the graphics are like a much prettier spacebound and stardew valley baby. Grungier and cyberpunk-esque in a lot of places, star warsy in others. It has that mix of primitive and hyper futuristic themes. The armour and weapons look rad and feel amazing, which is the most important to me in these kind of games. Everything has cool cloaks, helmets, masks, visors, big giant detailed terraria looking weapons. You can also play a caster if you prefer over a swordsman/hammer type guy which is a welcome change of pace. A lot of QoL even MMO giants don't really have, super in depth UI customization for OCD freaks like me. Global and all various chat channels you need which are very busy and a discord with INCREDIBLY helpful people. Their support time is second to none, I had issues with my username and they fixed it within like 20 minutes. Genuinely good and invested guys working on this. Try it now. If you try it and it's suddenly what all these negative reviews are saying it is, you can come rag on me here, but I think you'll be hard pressed to find any of what they say is happening. Main complaint? Customization of your base character. Can't choose anything but skin color, eyes, hair color and everything else is attached to what armour you're wearing. Hair is just armour. I hate that but I'll just live with looking cool in a helmet.

I saw the negative reviews regarding the developers history and read the reddit post, but I decided to try the game anyway. Honestly, it’s a ton of fun with plenty of content, great replayability, and huge potential. The best feature? An actual pause button in an MMO, a game-changer for playing during work hours. While there are some bugs and lag spikes, they are manageable, and I trust they’ll be patched soon. More importantly, I haven't encountered any microtransactions or crypto fluff in 7hrs of playing. For such a cheap price, don't let the review bombing keep you from enjoying a genuinely good game.

I expected performance issues of an indie day 1 launch thats very normal. When i got to play there was a decent amount of rubber banding. at one point everyone lost ALL of their equipment and housing items. That was fixed with a patch. Now my character has been stuck forever loading. I have submitted a ticket in their discord but there has been no response, not even a we are working on it. It's been 6+ hours at this point. Each update seems to break a few things as well

fun game with friends, rpg questing and crafting / gathering / upgrading elements with roguelite autocast combat. its the price of a McDonalds meal
