Our take on Soul Locus

Instead of relying only on fixed towers, this tower defense game ties its defensive roster to collectible cards, creature training, and material-based crafting. That shifts part of the genre’s usual focus from battlefield placement to building and developing a team of Guardians.

What is Soul Locus?

Soul Locus is a creature-collection tower defense game set in Dalifor, a world threatened by the Corruptors.

Players take the role of a Luminary and summon Soul Guardians using cards. Battles involve building a team and defending against enemy waves across levels. Guardians can be collected, trained, customized, and leveled up, while crafting combines materials to discover new Guardian recipes. Materials come from quests, battle rewards, or breaking down cards. Each Guardian belongs to one of six types that shape its strategic role. The game also presents a story featuring fellow students Chip and Victoria. The vendor describes more than 7 levels and over a dozen added Guardians since launch; more than 80 Guardians are planned for final release.

How Soul Locus plays

01Guardian Crafting: Materials from quests, battles, and dismantled cards can be combined to uncover recipes for new creatures.
02Team Customization: Players choose a team and develop each Guardian through training and level progression.
03Six Guardian Types: Each type sets a Guardian’s strategic use during tower defense battles.
04Enemy Path Preview: Particles trace enemy routes and show how those routes connect through portals.
