Overview
Soulstone Survivors is an action roguelite built around fighting enemy hordes, defeating large bosses, and collecting Soulstones. Developed and published by Game Smithing Limited, it casts players as Void Hunters whose strength comes through skill combinations, crafted equipment, and character upgrades. Combat demands both a workable build and the reflexes to survive.
The fantasy setting pits the Void Hunters against the Lords of the Void and their minions, with the Void King also standing among their opponents. Learning about the hunters' order gives context to that pursuit of power. Soulstone Survivors is available on Windows, macOS, Xbox, and PlayStation.
How does combat work?
Soulstone Survivors combines horde combat and large boss encounters with build creation using more than 350 active and passive skills. The central challenge is assembling abilities that work well together while handling enemies that test strategy and reflexes.
- Horde-based action combat
- 350+ active and passive skills
- Large boss encounters
- Skill combination builds
The Void Hunter's build connects those crowd battles and boss fights. Clearing minions and overcoming a powerful opponent put different demands on the same collection of skills, making their combined effects important. Buildcraft is part of the combat challenge, with passive abilities contributing alongside active skills rather than sitting in a separate equipment system.
Weapons and character progression
Crafting more than 100 weapons gives Soulstone Survivors an equipment layer alongside its skill selection. Character unlocks and skill-tree upgrades add separate progression goals, so gaining power involves more than finding another ability during combat. Weapons, characters, and upgrades all contribute to developing a build.
The distinction matters for an action RPG with such a large skill pool. A Void Hunter's abilities are one part of a broader setup, while crafting and the skill tree provide other avenues for improvement. That gives progression several concrete targets: unlocking another character, forging a weapon, or investing in upgrades. The action supplies the immediate challenge; those systems give the pursuit of power structure.
Curses and replayability
Curses, different maps, and multiple game modes give Soulstone Survivors additional challenges beyond its skill catalogue. Their role is to put builds to work across more than one type of encounter. Bosses remain an important test, tying the search for effective combinations back to combat performance rather than the size of a collection.
The attraction of Soulstone Survivors is the connection between its horde combat and RPG progression. More than 350 skills offer the raw material for experimentation, while weapon crafting and character unlocks expand the choices around them. Curses and multiple modes give that buildcraft a practical purpose: assembling powerful combinations, then finding out how well they hold up under pressure.
