Soul Knight is a high-octane rogue-like shooter where players delve into deep dungeons to recover a magical stone stolen by high-tech aliens. The game features a massive array of unique heroes, each with distinct abilities, and over 270 weapons ranging from standard pistols to laser swords and alien tech. With its randomly generated dungeons, every run offers a fresh challenge. The pixel-art style and smooth controls make it a standout in the mobile bullet-hell genre.

Our Expert Score

92/100

Soul Knight is an absolute masterclass in mobile game design. It takes the punishing nature of the rogue-like genre and makes it accessible without losing the depth that veterans crave. The sheer variety of weapons is staggering; one moment you're swinging a basic shovel, and the next you're calling down orbital strikes with a legendary staff.

What keeps me coming back is the 'just one more run' feeling. The controls are incredibly tight for a touchscreen game, largely thanks to the smart auto-aim that lets you focus on dodging projectiles. It’s a rare gem that feels premium despite being free-to-play, offering hours of content without forcing a paywall down your throat. If you enjoy games like Enter the Gungeon, this is a must-download.

Mobile Gaming Golden Standard
Thu Aug 20 2020 Inc1n3rat3

This game is one of, if not the best mobile game that I have ever played. The gameplay is extremely fun with extremely easy controls and interesting gun mechanics and tons of replay value. While at first you character doesn’t start out extremely strong you can level up your characters to start off with higher stats and even a free buff, as well as unlocking facilities that allow for you to start runs with high tier weapons or armor mounts. The game is also constantly updated to add new characters, skills, weapons, game modes, and cosmetics. Despite its gameplay being extremely addicting I definitely would not have given this game a 5 star rating if it had a bad micro transaction system. I can confidently say that this game has one of the best micro transactions systems out of any mobile game out there. While a couple of the characters and skills are locked behind micro transactions, you can already get a decently large roster of playable characters from using the in game earn-able currency as well as some pretty sick looking skins. The purchasable characters and skills are all fairly priced as well with the most expensive skin at the moment being $3, and for those who don’t want to spend any money, the game has rare ticket drops that allow you to try any paid character or skill for free. All in all I would definitely recommend getting this game if you think there is even the slightest chance that you might enjoy it because it’ll definitely blow you away.

Words cannot describe so instead here are suggestions to the devs

As the title says, and you may not read this but, add a fight mode or what ever it should be called where you can go in an online game against other characters, using what ever weapons you want (you as in devs) and add endless back and perhaps a co ip to it, I know these suggestions are more co op than anything but you could have an ai in the against other characters or as a proper name would be arena, and be able to pick any explored biome in endless but maybe in multiplayer endless just let it keep the hosts biomes that were visited or passed through in order to make it fair I guess and please make feathers a lot easier to get, all of what I suggested is useless to somebody who is reading to see if the game is worth it (it is worth it) but over all I hope the devs see this and put in the stuff I suggested and maybe, just maybe, this is a stretch with an odds of 0, add a free undertale event where you gotta do an event mode to get undertale skins of characters because I am a huge undertale fan and of the fandom but that is off topic so please accept these ideas, if you read all of this thank you and TO SUMMARIZE: just make an arena mode, co op and normal endless, easier feathers for boss rush, and finally please do an undertale/ undertale au’s crossover (which is little to none likely to happen or be heard of at this point) and that is end of summary.

A great game

This game was first introduced to me by a friend. I first though it was pretty hard and my friend was just lucky to have a few wins and I didn’t have any. After I got the priest, I learned multiple strategies by reaching 3-1 and dying multiple times. Reaching 3-1 also opened up a HUGE amount of new weapons that were great at defeating rooms and bosses. After I was tired with the priest, I reached out to every other free to play character such as the assassin and the rouge. My experience from playing the priest was a lot different to the assassin and the rouge but I still had the strategies i learned. Now, I am about 10 times better than the friend who first introduced me to the game. I have about 50 wins in the game. One thing that is very useful is crafting weapons. If you obtain a weapon 8 times, you can craft it. The weapons that I think are the most useful to craft are the staff of thunder, the missile battery, and RYB assault rifle (it just is very consistent. There are also many achievement that you can do that reward you with plants, gems, and skins. I just wanted to appreciate this game because it is offline and I still play it even if I have WiFi. There are absolutely no ads after levels like most offline games. The only way you can watch an ad is if you want additional gems (quite a lot actual) or to revive yourself, which is very important if you die on 3-5 with the boss at low health. Also there are these fun challenges you can do that are new everyday. The most fun one that you can get is probably infinite energy.

Amazing... however...

I’m not one to write reviews, but here I am. After playing this game for a year and having everything that isn’t paid for.. I’m kinda stuck on debating weather or not to buy the characters and some skins, which I have for a certain engineer and what was once named Chinese new year assassin. However I purchased Iado skill (rouge) and I never was able to use it... that’s not what I’m here to talk about though, I’m here to talk about a proposal. I’ve did the same proposal to Plants Vs. Zombies 2, where about 50% of the content is blocked by a paywall, let the pay-to-win be optional and make it have a alternative not pay-to-win by making it insanely expensive.. I mean like 20-30 thousand gem cost for someone like the dryad.. which is probably the worst of them, I know this because I pre-ordered the game on Nintendo switch and I got most everything free :> and the dryad is even worse than the berserker.. anyway, make the characters expensive and make a alternative option to buy it for less than the gem value and plop a (whatever percent you decide) off sign next to it to make it seem like a better deal, people would buy it that way. Also, that should be how it works because about half the achievements involve pay-to-win characters which makes it way harder to do them solely on free trial cards :< . Sincerely, A fan with dev advice ;)

A Few suggestions and a few bugs
Tue Aug 06 2019 Grand Wisard

First off I want to say that I love this game I deleted it off my iPad because I thought the game was too hard even if I had my two friends playing with me but in the latest update you add lots of more abilities I have Frost spikes superiority fire (sorry I don’t know the name of knights second skill) assassins second skill but there are a few bugs one is when I play with a friend we get different bonus rooms and when I do the blacksmith thing I can’t pick up the enchanting so can you make it so once you buy it it automatically goes to your weapon? Also I have a few suggestions one is like a playground mode so you can play with friends and you can test out weapons Also to people who are asking for online multiplayer they won’t add it because chilly room doesn’t have the money even if they did they would keep it for about two weeks before closing it off Back too the suggestions. It would be cool if you add a few weapons you should have a weapon that one shots like one punch like soul one punch it cost 50 energy and it will stay 999 damage but every time you use it it takes 2 Hp from your Hp like mysterious trader does and once you use it the last time and you have it you will have 1 Hp or 2 Hp it will destroy the weapon and you will not have the weapon anymore Also make super buddy have a 50% chance of coming back to you also nerf thunder sword it is broken Developers if you are reading this can you add codes back to iOS and make a short game understanding so new players don’t have there butts kick on there first game and also why is the first skill dual weird sorry for grammar and rouge has roll when he cost 2000 gems

Probably the best mobile game (and definitely the best free mobile game)
Fri Apr 17 2020 Owen Ab

This is easily the game I’ve had on my phone and consistently played the longest. There’s always something new, and literal years of gameplay for the casual player. There’s nothing pay to win about this game, and the option to pay is (in my opinion) worth it. I have unlocked all of the characters (about $10 for all of them) and am happy with my decision. This game is better then some games for consoles I’ve played, and even without paying its one of the best. Those ten dollars is like buying a console or pc tier game for much cheaper then a pc game that’s as good. There’s limitless possibilities and limitless playtime, regardless if you have cash to burn or not. It’s a simple and fun experience playing the game. It starts out extremely hard, but as you play more, you soon win easily. The hundreds of weapons keep the game interesting every time you play, and can make awesome combos. This game is 100% worth downloading and I recommend it wholeheartedly to anyone. Much love to the devs and thank you for what’s possibly the greatest mobile game I’ll ever have the experience of playing. The one thing I do want is better iOS support and better cloud saves, but other then that, this is an amazing game, and the saves don’t tarnish it at all.

I love it but there’s one problem
Sun Apr 07 2019 Johann Spankivich

I love this game. I’ve had this game WAY before they had skins or the garden or even the little inside social part. And I’ve invested about... $26 or so into the game on gems and even the $1.99 cat. And when I tried restoring my purchases I only got the bought characters. I didn’t get the gems that I paid for so I can upgrade. And for me it’s frustrating because that means I either have to repay or grind. And I don’t want to grind. And the cloud save update was right after I switched phones. But without that hiccup of my life. I love that the game has a nice design. Feels polished and really cared about. The weapons are so unique. Even if it’s just choosing between the Ak-47 or the M4. The characters are wonderful especially with the local multiplayer each and every character supports each other but has its own special abilities that can be the difference between defeat and making it to 3-6. The additional garden and weapon smith in the lobby was a wonderful update and if people don’t want to use it then they don’t have to. It doesn’t effect the main point of the game. Which is just an Infinite dungeon shooter. I’ve never felt my death unfair (though I still would get angry). The only complaint (other than the beginning) is I wish that I could lock my joystick to my desired position other than a predetermined location on the screen and that I could move the right screen (shoot/interact, special abilities, switch weapon) so I could move them out further from the edge of the screen. So in my heart 5/5 but with current aggravated outcome I put 4/5. I hope that you all enjoyed and maybe the developers could read this.

Decline of an Art Style.
Wed Nov 16 2022 SmasherGaming

I have been playing soul knight for about two years now, and I can say that I absolutely love the game. The weapons are unique, the characters are all different and fun to play as, and the dungeons can be challenging. There is something I have noticed though that has been impacting my view on soul knight, and that is the decline in art style. I thought that soul knight was about wizards, knights, magicians, and maybe a little bit of machinery (Engineer and mechs). But now I feel like they are adding new skins and events that completely deviate from the art style. The new robot event being a prime example. The sprites of these characters are super detailed, but the problem is that they have so much detail they stand out way more than the original characters. The portraits do not help either, because now we know more detail about the alternative skins than the actual characters themselves. I miss it when the game had more simple skins, more simple events, more simple everything that was perfect for a mobile game. Complexity is good, but I feel like there’s just too much stuff and everything before just feels super outdated. If they updated the sprites to catch up with the current art style they are pushing, I would give this 5 stars. But that’s not the case, which makes me sad.
