Pure Brilliance!

Very few games leave me wanting more the way Soulcaster II did when I finished it the first time. The mix of action and strategy elements are beautifully done. It is almost like you’re playing a tower defense title where you get just a few towers and you can move them as will. Yet, there are also RPG elements as you upgrade your three “towers”. Plus, have health and spells to worry about as well. All of these components combined to make an exceptional game.

As you progress through the levels you’ll be challenged to work out strategies that fit the enemies and layout of the current area. It is this tactical element that I found to be so much fun. The difficulty curve is nicely done with each level getting harder but no so much so that you suddenly hit a wall. The story is a fairly simple one but I don’t think it needs to be any more complex given the game play style. My only real complaint is that I was having so much fun I wanted more when I got to the end. It seems like there could be a Soulcaster III from the way the story goes so I guess I’ll have to play through Soulcaster II again on a harder difficulty while I wait for that.

The graphics are a retro style but still look really great. The music fits the game’s pace and style well and I enjoyed it. For $3 this is a great game. The balance of all the different elements from multiple game genres just mend together seamlessly for a great experience.

Retro perfection

Soulcaster the mage needs your help once again to restore the peace in the land of Avericia. He still has the ability to summon the three legendary spirits of Shaedu the archer, Aeox the warrior and Bloodfire the alchemist to defend you while you vanquish evil and explore dungeons, castles and forests.

The gameplay is as much fun as it was the first time around as you destroy waves of mystical creatures and collect treasures. The visuals, witch were pretty cool in the first one, are now much more detailed. Also, 3 thumbs up for the cover art ;)

There are over than 30 levels of action in Soulcaster II and they'll last almost twice as long as the 1st game did. Soulcaster "1" took me 1h19m to beat the first time around and the sequel took 2h01m. This is pretty good considering you'll definitely want to replay it 2-3 times and there is a hard mode.

The music is good, varied and really gets you in the mood for adventure.

Overall, if you like RPGs and Tower Defense games, this indie game has everything to please you. Now go try out the demo! The evil Shadowcaster won't defeat himself!
