Grim Soul: Survival Magic RPG Reviews

Has potential to be great

mikethefremen

This game has exactly the kind of elements missing from most mobile games, but a couple of things make it unplayable. Firstly, in order to go anywhere, there is an energy system which really demoralizes you. Takes 15 or more minutes to walk somewhere only so you can grab a few stones and peices of wood before you’re forced to flee. Crafting materials are always guarded by more monsters than you can fight. Healing items and food are very expensive to craft, very scarce and not effective. Equipment wears out unreasonably fast and is very hard to replace. Spend 15 bucks on an armor pack only to have it wear out after two trips, or worse go thirsty because food and water are so scarce. Then you lose all the items you just purchased.. If you want to spend months and even years trying to improve your character, you’d better not make even one mistake, or you will lose your entire inventory. This game could have been such a masterpiece, but the dev seems to have only succeeded in making it a frustrating, joyless cash-grab. Totally unplayable in it’s current state.

Was fun then deleted

Died and lost everything. Not fun. Edit: I’m updating my review because the graphics and gameplay are great and if you are ok with the consequences of dying then it’s a great game. It’s just not for me. If there was an option for a casual player that allowed for different levels of consequences then I would reinstall. Thank you.

Scam

Khaleb_d

This game is in short a scam. It’s obv p2w but that’s not a surprise here. However the screenshots of the game and the description are almost a blatant lie. THIS is not a medieval rpg game this is a kill zombies with a wooden stick and try to get enough food to survive game. Now if that’s your thing, great. But the fact this game shows flamming swords, skill trees, bows and arrows, etc is just false advertisement to try to get you to play the game, realize it’s bogus and spend money trying to “survive” this should be removed from the App Store for false advertisement and scamming.

Pay to win title despite developers claiming otherwise

NovaBahar

There are games out there that win off of skins and other cosmetics that do not affect the balance of the game. Sadly this is not one of them. The pay-to-win mechanism is sadly prevalent in many survival themed games and this game’s developers seem to have reached for the limit here! Imagine you are fighting an enemy and once exposed, other enemies nearby (even those not within the minimal display) rush to you quickly forming a mob. You have your trusted weapon and armor, right? Well those last about 15 hits exactly. Yeah. 15 hits with the sword and it breaks. Oh and you can’t repair it; once it breaks it disappears. Same with the armor; 15 hits from an enemy and armor goes bye-bye. Make new armor and weapons? Well the problem then is two-fold: 1. collecting resources without attracting enemy attention; 2. Weapons you make are half durability, unless of course if you pay… based on how much you pay, you get more durability. Payments are not a one time done deal either. Recurring payments… so if you do not pay, you are gonna run around naked trying to collect sticks and stones from the ground to make basic weak weapons and basic clothing as armor. Oh and they are not going to last either so it is gonna get boring and turn into a grind fest with not much progress in the way of game play. But yeah, as the developer says “you can play without paying”. That much is true, you can run around trying not to die, that’s survival, right? Oh, but wait. There’s more… you can’t run around that much because you need to eat once every 60 seconds or so if you are a free player. So, you need to fill your inventory with food and eat every 60 seconds or so, while running around trying to fill the space emptied up by the food with sticks and stones from the ground. Oh but to fill your inventory with food, you need to scavenge for food items: leek seeds drop from npcs (can’t get to to those because we don’t have armor or weapons, remember); meat drops from npcs, of which only deer are non-aggro but they run off; leaving us with berries from bushes. So if you are lucky enough to not get sorted while picking berries, great! But beware because one of the berries makes you vomit if you eat too much of it… If you pay, however, food drain is less, so you need to eat less often. Same goes with drinking. Let’s be honest, if you do not play, you cannot advance in this game. I have yet to see one player that has advanced in this game and finished the main quest line even, without paying a single dime. Maybe someone who has 24 hours to play can do it. So yeah, if you want to play a game where you run away from enemies trying to collect sticks and stones all the whole chucking berries down your throat, this game is for you. Otherwise, you have to pay. Ignore the devs responding otherwise. Developer: if you want to respond honestly and truthfully saying that the game can be played (key word here is play) without paying, post a video on your social media or YouTube account with a brand new account, zero payment benefits, zero modifiers, playing the game as a free player, entering areas and gathering resources, fighting and/or even just finishing the main questline. Please, prove all these people saying that this game is pay-to-win wrong, myself included. I’ll tip my hat respectfully.

Losing items

0wsley

Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE this game. It is exactly what I am looking for in a -survival- game. But I believe it’s completely unfair that we lose ALL our items if we die in a different location. Even with stronger weapons, it’s still easy to die; so why should we completely lose it? A lot of us have worked VERY hard to earn what we have and to lose it in a matter of seconds; unless you want to pay every dime, is unfair. We should be able to keep it or at least go back to retrieve it even on the skull-marked islands. Makes me not want to play this game or spend any-more money on it.

Good game

joeybigs

It plays really good so far graphics are not bad and it seems to have decent controls easy to pick up hard to stop playing because you feel like you just need a little more to get things going. Only reason I gave it a 4 is because the play style seems repetitive like there are so many other games like this same game zombie based and even the looting is the same as swell. But atleast it’s in a different era

Card Game

Seedfrt

Hello Developers of this amazing game that’s extremely challenging. Is there any way to get more cards rolls on cards to earn prizes like video ads or do you need more Thaler bc I used it all up when I did the card game with the greed hoarder and I don’t know of any way to get more turns.

Slow

Usual Pay to make it fun

Gameplay

dsalad2319

Okay the game isn’t bad but it’s annoying how resources don’t respawn at your base and when you leave to go get them you have to fight 15+ enemies without equipment to defend yourself because I have died multiple times cause I can’t get the resources to upgrade so there’s really no point in trying just to die every time like you run out of recourses need better weapons so you go to get those things but you need better equipment to get better equipment it makes no sense

Great game

jega8604

You need one of 2 things to play this game, if you lack patience; don't even consider playing this game, patience is key to success in this game period. 2nd you literally will not be able to play this game unless you fork out a few dollars, you are set up for absolute constant failure.
