The value story
46 discounts in the 4 years on record, a median of 75 percent off across all of them, roughly 4 weeks apart. Today's $2.99 at 85 percent off matches the lowest price in the record.
It is pricier than 92 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 74 percent. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. La-Mulana 2 ($24.99, scores 71) and HAAK ($17.99, scores 67) both outscore it.
More about Souldiers
Steam's global achievement data puts about 6 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On a 25.5-hour game, the hours short of it still count in its price per hour.

In its first 30 days on sale, 1 of 206 sampled reviews came from a refunder. Inside the two-hour refund window, 58 percent of the 158 reviews written there were positive, against 69 percent overall, and those are 7 percent of everything written about it.

What players say
This just isn't a good game. The platforming mechanics are awful and waaaay too many of your inputs are just ignored. You can't expect people to do precise stuff with floaty, unresponsive controls. It started fun and started to go really downhill at the Floating Module (which is somehow only like halfway through the game). I was trying to finish this thing out of spite, but I'm throwing in the towel.

It's good, then you get to the desert then its okkk, then you get to the alien ship then you realize this is just bad and not fun anymore.
I literally so much I want to say about this game as it hits some of the highest of highs and yet hits the lowest of lows in one of the Metroidvanias I have ever played. The Pros: - The Music: The music is amazing like just straight up there was not a single track I did not like by the end of the game - The Art Direction: The game is absolutely stunning like holy it is just pure eye candy - Level Theming - Story...
