Soul Dier

Soul Dier - Part 1 is a tactical adventure about recovering lost memories and uncovering the world's mysteries. You fight the evil legion alongside allies you meet along the way, travelling from abandoned modern cityscapes to a medieval island town. Animated cutscenes, charming characters and humorous dialogue tell the story across more than 30 hand-crafted levels, with around 20 hours of playtime.

Tactical combat

Battles use a classic grid-based, turn-based system built around ranged directional attacks. Positioning and the use of cover and obstacles are central to combat. A queueing system spreads out player and enemy turns, while mostly ranged skills, short enemy phases and options to accelerate animations keep battles moving quickly.

The challenging encounters call for you to engage with enemy skills and level mechanics. Each level has a new map and introduces new enemy types, unique level mechanics or both; there are no filler or repeated levels.

Allies and progression

Each player character has a distinct role, with their own strengths and weaknesses that complement the others. Progress rewards unlock automatically after each level, bringing impactful changes without EXP grinding or small incremental stat gains.

Before each battle, you can adjust character upgrades, equipable charms and consumable items at no reset cost. Consumables have limited uses during each battle and are not permanently consumed.

Music

Part 1 includes an original soundtrack of over 40 tracks, composed by the two developers. It ranges from relaxing jazz themes to intense metal battle music.
