92/100

Soul Knight is an absolute masterclass in mobile game design. It takes the punishing nature of the rogue-like genre and makes it accessible without losing the depth that veterans crave. The sheer variety of weapons is staggering; one moment you're swinging a basic shovel, and the next you're calling down orbital strikes with a legendary staff.

What keeps me coming back is the 'just one more run' feeling. The controls are incredibly tight for a touchscreen game, largely thanks to the smart auto-aim that lets you focus on dodging projectiles. It’s a rare gem that feels premium despite being free-to-play, offering hours of content without forcing a paywall down your throat. If you enjoy games like Enter the Gungeon, this is a must-download.

Dinsun Review

Dinsun here. Soul Knight is what I’d call a 'waiting room' staple. It doesn't reinvent the wheel—we’ve seen the Gungeon-lite mechanics a dozen times—but it’s tightly constructed. The variety of weapons is decent, though many feel like mere stat swaps. It’s hard to get excited about mobile shooters, but the auto-aim makes it tolerable on a glass screen. It’s a distraction, not a masterpiece.

Technically, it holds up, but the grind for new characters is clearly designed to nudge you toward the shop. I don’t appreciate being nickel-and-dimed for variety in a game that relies on it. It’s fine for a quick burst, but don't expect depth that lasts past the first few weeks.
