We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- First-person shooter players who enjoy score-focused corridor levels
- Players who want to replay maps in remixed challenge runs
- Players interested in a connected hub and dream-based story
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players who want time to explore each level without a pursuing threat may hit a wall when the death wall closes in.
- Players who prefer runs without restart pressure may find getting caught by the wall and retrying a sticking point.
- Players looking for multiplayer shooting may not find it here; the described competitive element is a weekly leaderboard remix.
Our take on Soul King
The clearest sticking point is the pursuing wall: players who want to pause and explore a dream level may have to choose between moving forward and being caught. Getting caught sends them back to try again, so the pressure is built into the level structure.
What is Soul King?
Soul King is a score-focused corridor shooter in which Lynn enters dream worlds to free dreamers held by the Soul King.
Fight his minions and reach the mind at each dream’s core while a wall of death pursues Lynn; getting caught means starting again. Levels use clear routes, and enemies stand out from their surroundings and attack with projectiles that can be dodged. The Barclay Reserve serves as a hub for finding secrets and stories, choosing the next battlefield, and changing gear. The Gauntlet offers remixed versions of the maps, including on-demand levels and a weekly competitive remix with leaderboard placement. Remixed levels include challenge-focused finales and story details about Lynn’s next quest.
