I've been working hard to implement some of the most requested changes to the game. The main one I'm excited to share today is: more Spell and Trap cards are now available for advanced players! If you've played the game before, you may remember that at the end of the draft phase, you have to choose 2 Hexes to round up your deck. These used to always be the same, but now the game will introduce…
One of the most requested features for the longest time has been updating and adding the in-game story events. With the latest update, I'm adding 2 new events: A Rebel's Sacrifice This is the first time you're able to heal, but at a terrible cost: you must leave one of your Souls behind. The Red Rose Vanguard Beatrice is a brave knight that charges into battle the moment she's summoned. She can…
One of the most common things I hear from demo players is that the AI encounters don't put up much of a challenge. This is intentional! I tuned down the difficulty for the first few duels so players can figure out the mechanics and learn about the fusion system without long tutorials. However, once you beat the boss once, you unlock Ascension I, and that's where the challenge begins. There are…
In the first major update to the demo, Constructs can now be recruited into your deck! But why would machines want to rebel? Could they have their own goals? Constructs are special in 3 big ways: 1 - They are experts in fusion. The Voltaic Dog allows you to gain additional fusions each turn, and the Patchwork Gremlin draws you cards whenever it's summoned. If you like a combo-heavy playstyle, d…
The Soulsworn Demo is finally live. You can just click the "Play Demo" button on the store page to try it. You can also leave a review on the separate Demo page, and I'd really appreciate it! It really helps to get more visibility to the game. FAQ : Q) I already played the playtest. Is there any difference in the demo? A) If you've played the playtest in the past few weeks, then you've already…
Fusions are really cool, but they're not the only way to bring powerful Souls to the field. Now introducing: Ritual Souls! Ritual Souls are cards that require a Ritual Hex. When you activate it, you must sacrifice Souls from your field whose combine Power match the Power of the Ritual Soul you want to play. This means if you want to play a 2000 Power Soul, you can use a single 2000 Power Soul a…
For the next few updates, I'm looking to upgrade some of the original screens and systems from the game that aren't quite as polished as the most recent ones, and the previous Draft screen really was the worst offender. BEFORE: AFTER: Now, there's a fancy animation when you draft your army at the Soul Pyre before heading out to an Expedition! It also shows a short video tutorial showing how eac…
New Card Origin: Beasts (Available on the playtest branch, v0.1.33) Beasts have arrived in Soulsworn! These souls belong to feral creatures doomed to wander the halls of Hell, unaware of the reason for their damnation. Even though they lack understanding, the rebellion finds them invaluable for their immense power, provided you are willing to take a risk. New Mechanic : Risk and Reward Every Be…
Frosthollow is Soulsworn's second Expedition, and it opens up the game in lots of ways. The spirits here can stun your Souls, steal your cards, and cast pacts that require specific answers. You'll face swarms that multiply when destroyed, and also enemies that siphon power from your cards. The deeper you go, the more these mechanics get mixed together, and the more creative your solutions need…
DISCORD LINK : The closed beta for Soulsworn is up and running! If you want to try the game early, hop into our Discord and grab a key from the SentinelBot: Fair warning: Right now you're getting a single level, and bugs are expected!
