Soulkin Exits Early Access and goes 1.0 Full Release 4th April
After nearly a year in Early Access, Soulkin is evolving with its most ambitious update yet, bringing a complete overhaul to progression, combat, and strategy. Packed with new features, improved mechanics, and an expanded world, this update reinvigorates the Soulkin experience and sets the stage for even greater adventures ahead.
Strategic depth takes center stage with the introduction of Squad Selection, allowing players to choose from an expanding roster of squads, each offering unique synergy and tactical opportunities. On top of that, Nadia now has multiple variants, each with exclusive abilities and mechanics, fundamentally changing how battles unfold. Adapt your strategy, experiment with combinations, and evolve your playstyle.
Exploration has been reimagined, the map now features branching strategic paths, allowing players to shape their journey based on risk and reward. Carefully plot your route, manage your resources to prepare for unpredictable challenges as you forge your way. Adding to the adventure, a brand-new biome expands the world of Soulkin, introducing fresh environments, enemies, and hidden secrets waiting to be uncovered.
Progression gets a major boost as both Soulkins and Nadia can now gain experience, level up, and unlock powerful new abilities mid-run. Strengthen your creatures, fine-tune your strategies, and wield an ever-growing arsenal of tactics to overcome the game’s toughest battles. Your squad's potential doesn’t stop at leveling up. Now, both Squads and Nadia’s variants can be upgraded, unlocking passive bonuses and increasing their strengths for future runs. Build a team that fits your playstyle and watch them grow stronger with each battle.
A dynamic new layer of depth comes with reworked events and NPC encounters. Shops now offer greater control over your progression, and new event interactions create unexpected choices that shape your journey. Say goodbye to Artifacts and hello to Trinkets! These powerful, single-use items can be activated in battle to provide strategic advantages, whether it’s negating a devastating attack or amplifying your next move. With a variety of Trinkets to collect and utilize, every encounter presents new possibilities for creative play.
