Not to brag or be slanderous, Liangwu Game is a breath of fresh air among domestic independent games. When "Soul Knight" first came out, it was 2017. I was still using iPhone 6s, and I was amazed by its combination of 8-bit pixel style and electronic music. As soon as the battle music in the dungeon plays, the rhythm is immediately heightened, and the impact combined with the sound effects makes the fight particularly exciting. Especially the soundtrack for the BOSS battle, the sense of urgency is just right, not too noisy, but it can make your palms sweat.
To compare similar games, I have played many dungeon roguelikes, such as "The Binding of Isaac" and "Into the Dungeon" and other old games. The biggest difference between "Soul Knight" and them is that the threshold for getting started is low, there are not so many complicated prop combination mechanisms, it is simple and direct, just pick up the gun and just click. Moreover, a battle is basically limited to about twenty minutes, which is especially suitable for today's fast-paced lifestyle. Thinking back to when I used to play "Isaac", I spent half a day studying prop combinations. To be honest, as I get older, I really can't do such brain-burning things anymore.
However, this game is not without its shortcomings. The content duplication in the later period is indeed a bit high, and the balance of weapons has always been a point of complaint among veteran players. Some weapons are basically a no-brainer to get through, and some are just for fun. Fortunately, Liangwu has been updated. Although many new systems have been added after the revision, the core gameplay is still the same.
Nowadays, many mobile games are making open worlds and super-large maps. On the contrary, I feel that small and beautiful works like "Soul Knight" that return to the essence of games are becoming more and more rare. Just like its music, although it is simple, it has a unique magic that allows you to easily enjoy a pleasant adventure time by turning on your phone on the subway home from work overtime.
By the way, I recently saw that Suowu released a new game "The Da Vinci Project" and played the beta version. It has completely different ideas from "Soul Knight", but it can be seen that they are exploring new directions, which is quite gratifying as an old player.
That's it for Amway. Anyway, the game is now free on TapTap and supports the 5.0 system. It can run smoothly even on old mobile phones. If you are looking for a relaxing and interesting online dungeon game, this one is definitely worth playing.
