Soul Knight Prequel is a pixel-art ARPG set before the events of the original Soul Knight. Dive into a world of magic and monsters where you can create your own character, choose from various classes, and combine them to unlock unique powers. Collect epic loot, team up with friends, and save the land of Mistra in this dungeon-crawling adventure.

Dinsun Expert Review

Our Expert Score

90/100

Soul Knight Prequel is a vibrant departure from the original's top-down shooter roots, pivoting into a full-fledged Action RPG (ARPG) with loot-heavy progression. It captures that 'Diablo-lite' feeling perfectly for mobile. The pixel art is expressive and nostalgic, but the real star is the class system. The ability to combine two different classes into a 'Prestige Class' offers a staggering amount of customization that keeps the gameplay fresh for dozens of hours.

The grind is satisfying rather than tedious, with a steady stream of gear drops and bosses that require actual pattern recognition rather than just stat-checking. While the early launch had server hiccups, the current state of the game is polished and brimming with content. Whether you're a fan of the original Soul Knight or just love a good dungeon crawler, this is a must-play.

Why i changed from a 1 star review to a 5 star review
Mon Dec 18 2023 Soul knight enthusiast

I originally had the game at a 1 star review because i could not access it, and it constantly crashed. You can imagine how frustrating that is for the player, however i changed my review about 2 weeks later, as they fixed that problem. This not only shows how responsive the chilly panda staff is but also talented they are as game developers. The actual game itself is incredibly well made, but really is not like the original soul knight, the enemies are similar and the bosses are basically the same, how you actually play and it’s progression are different. The progression is much better than soul knight’s, easier to understand and complete while still being a grind. The gameplay i wish was a little more like the original with the use of guns but it’s a small complaint, the gameplay is really, really fun and creative. My biggest issue, is a feel like the game could have been better with player on player interactions, for example often times the multiplayer rooms don't work simply because the internet( of the other user) didn’t work, or they weren’t active. Secondly there could’ve been more players on player interactions with the use of pvp or card battles, so far their is no way to duel other players, which should be a mechanic especially in an rpg mmo game( which is what soul knight prequel is), even if dueling an other player is a little to hard to make work, they should atleast make card battles multiplayer not just with ai, that would make actually finding and using cards so much more entertaining. However that being said that really is just one problem that i nitpicked, all in all soul knight prequel is probably the best free mobile game on the App Store right now and should be a MUST HAVE for anyone.

A blast with a bug or two
Fri Dec 15 2023 Ipfleger

I loved the original Soul Knight, and I might like this more. This game is like if Soul Knight and Diablo II had a baby, and it is a blast. I highly recommend it. And really, that is an understatement. It feels like the developers really wanted to take the things they learned from Soul Knight and improve on them here. And they succeeded. The tweaking system is fun, I enjoy leveling up the characters. It’s just good ole fun. Some current things to think about - As of December, 2023, there are a couple bugs. For one, I very frequently get a screen that pops up and gives me a message about connecting to the server. It goes away if I press retry and I don’t mind that, but maybe wait a little longer to try it if you think that will annoy you. It seems to err on the easy side. To be fair, I played way too much Soul Knight and I could just be that good. But also my five year old was playing and wasn’t overwhelmed, si there’s that. Honestly I kind of liked that aspect, I downloaded it on another device so we can play together. But for me, I wish it had a hard mode. I’ve tried going to worlds that suggest higher levels than I am and that’s better, but I’m still too buff and skilled I guess. Bottom line though: This is a solid RPG that I have already recommended to friends and family so they will play with me. I think you will enjoy it, I gave it 5 stars for a reason (even counting the bugs). *I am a level 12 Pyroknight at of the time of writing this

Overall Good, but too many errors
Sun Jan 28 2024 Kyai1

Very fun game. I quite enjoy it. Unfortunately the game is riddled with bugs. I note 3 significant ones below: 1) Not Synchronizing w/ New Season My old characters (which I’ve only made a week ago) do not sync up with the season updates, and this cannot participate with any of the new season’s benefits. Only my new character (made about 2 days ago) can. 2) Multi-player issues I have played the multi player aspect of this game, but the game glitches too much, thus preventing a smooth play. For example, my old characters cannot play with my friend’s newer characters. Or during multi player games, the maps glitch and forces us to disconnect (thus far this has only happened when entering a room portal). Also notable is that cursed chests create monsters that each person must fight, as opposed to fighting together. I noticed this after opening a cursed chest and I only had slimes or goblins, but over the phone, my friend was fighting some lizard or dragon monster. Unsure if this is a feature or a bug. 3) Connection issues I still have no idea why I need to retry to connect to the server so many times. This game has a lot of potential, please fix these issues (and others that have been shared) to make the game enjoyable for all!

Was amazing
Sat Nov 22 2025 Jacob Niemela

I used to play this game every day, and then they got rid of every unique ability that each subclass had. I tried for a while to get used to it but they also made every enemy insanely tanky while nerfing their damage into the dirt removing any threat that they could have posed, making even killing normal enemies a thirty second task. They also decided that instead of reworking or making any of the weaker characters stronger, they instead made every character weak, in a mainly single player game, with no pvp, why. There is nothing to buy to make yourself stronger so greed isn’t even a reason to ruin everything. The concepts of what they have added are great, but they have removed so much from the game that they’ve become useless. I bought the battle passes LONG before every single thing was needlessly watered down and those year and a half old purchases are the only thing stopping me from uninstalling. I logged on for the Halloween event to see if anything has changed, after I spent two minutes beating on the Halloween boss and not seeing his health bar move at all, I have decided to stop coping. Was peak, and now it’s not even worth logging on to collect daily rewards.

Bug review from a Stan
Mon May 13 2024 Nuklear14

Hey Chillyroom Devs, just wanted to give you a list of all the bugs that I’ve seen in soul knight, and a few suggestions(otherwise this game is perfect thank you for making it) I am a level 44 ranger named nuklear at the time of making this. Bugs and suggestions in skp Catpurse spawns out of bounds Daggers for their skill fall out of bounds Bosses that summon monsters or you have the animancer class then your minions and their minions get pushed out of bounds Resolve points should be easier to see You should be able to control the direction of where you go with the shadow strike ability Statue of necromancy minions spawn and respawn until you clear the dungeon level Controller mode doesn’t let you tab to the third panel on the skills menu Sometimes the statue of monstrosities doesn’t give you a reward when you beat all the monsters You should be able to downgrade equipment so you can transfer the items to a lower level alter account The weathered hesphatite doesn’t let me change my fatebound effect. It keeps saying must have more than one fatebound effect (I had 2) Thanks for reading this, it’s my first ever review lol

Super fun game and kind staff!
Wed Sep 02 2026 Sleepy Illust.

The game has been fun so far and I think its pretty F2P friendly! I honestly got so hooked I went from lvl 1 to lvl 60 in just one day LOL It’s pretty fun to be able to build my own character how I want, with the skills that I want. Having more than one main class and a specialty class is a pretty cool concept! It makes me want to make more characters and play around with different combinations of classes, thankfully there’s 40 character slots for that! Of course, the game has its bugs like some have already pointed out, wich sometimes makes it frustrating to play. But I filed a ticket for the bugs I was encountering in their in-game bug report system and a staff member responded just within hours, they were super friendly! Just gotta be patient so ChillyRoom staff can fix the bugs ^_^

Fun game
Fri Dec 22 2023 freakbob99

...when it works. I get connection errors every minute and its really annoying and destroys all immersion. This isn't the worst thing. progress is essentially just RNG plus grinding and money put in, which would fine if the constant server issues didnt delete all my progress in a level (esp when i get really good drops), and would be okay if it worked properly at all, or even just smoother. At this time this game is not worth a download, the gameplay is pretty generic and the "combination classes" are a set of 7 classes you can merge with 7 other classes (one is locked behind a paywall) to make a new class with mediocre skills that are just generalist classes. (i usually play niche classes or characters and here they just do not exist) oh, and the card battles are just rock paper scissors and so easy to program that i could do it (its a random number generator with set outcomes for 3 situations) i thought it would be like a deck played Hearthstone style but no, it was just trash

Very disgusting
Thu Jul 25 2024 幻生梦

I started playing this game in Season 1. It has been such a long time now. Every season, there are things to detect my warehouse, such as the Phantom in Season 1, the Fire Dragon Ring in Season 2, and it is even more disgusting in Season 3. From the update to now, I have brushed the Dark Knight for at least an hour every night, but still no magic sword has dropped. I have filled up the daily invitations and embers, and bought the gift pack of embers every week, but he never gave me any. I also opened treasure chests, and I spent at least 400 boxes, but my glory suit still did not appear. So am I paying to see your planners disgust me? Can you make a good game? If you can't, please don't embarrass yourself on the international server. I have been very patient with your game, and please think about why it has not reached 10,000 sales in such a long time. If you are not kind, please don't be mean, and don't make us really disappointed in your company's game.
