Not a bad game. I enjoyed the 10 hrs I've spent with it so far. Managed to get to the end of currently available content. The gunplay is solid, but the game needs more variety in general - more weapons, more cards (especially active skills), and special items. 10 hrs was enough to see most of the content Soulslinger has to offer, which is a bit disappointing.
For now, it looks promising, I'm waiting for the upcoming updates to see the conclusion of the story and I hope that it won't disappoint.

i just want to put my opinion here for those about to buy/comparing this to witchfire. i bought both, and within 2 days refunded witchfire. This is by no means me trashtalking witchfire, as its still an early access game. But after playing both i have a strong bias towards SS:EOD. This is because of the advertising i saw for witchfire felt like it promoted it as a strong story based game, and i just couldnt seem to find that in game. Now thats not to say it never will, as its still early access, but its not what i was hoping for at the time.

I found this game while looking for Witchfire, and am SUPER glad i did. I read a couple of the forums and player reviews before buying and unfortunately was almost turned away initially due to some of them. As i kept reading those reviews however, I realized a common trend, childish reviews boiling down to "I booted the game and could barely run it" and "this isnt witchfire".... Both seem childish as 1. I saw nothing about them speaking about whether or not they tried turning down some of their settings to have a smoother gameplay experience. and 2. No this isnt WF, you didnt buy that game, so stop trying to compare it to that game.

Unfortunately both games released early access around the same time. which i feel has only done a disservice for this game, due to the lack of advertising ive seen on this games end.

SS:EOD is a fantastic roguelike, and one with a strong story. The main draws to me is how visually the game looks, the gameplay and fluid maneuverability in game, the difficulty {and scaling of it as you progress}, and the amazing story in a roguelike, which i personally think is a huge step in the right direction for the genre. Even with this game currently in early access, im drawn in, and left wanting more. Even after beating all the content available at this time, i still find myself going back through, trying out the different weapons, abilities, and powerups available. Ive been left on the edge of my seat, and cant wait to see how the story progressed down the line when it becomes available.

You all, especially with such a small team have done nothing short of an extraordinary job, and i cannot stress enough how proud i am in the work you have been able to accomplish. I like that going through the players comments on the games. and then the most recent patches, that you are genuinely listening to the feedback your community is submitting. And i think you have done something that could define an entire genre with this game, as good roguelikes are hard to come by, good roguelikes with amazing stories that have been thought out are harder to find than diamonds.

You all have done an amazing job, I cant wait to see where this story goes. Ill be extremely happy to see this game get the recognition it deserves. And i cant wait to see what project you all work on next. You have impressed me with this beyond what i cant express. And i will be following you all through to the next one. Keep doing what your doing, because youre doing everything right!

Grindy progression, but in a fun way that makes you feel like you're getting better at the game, not UGH-NOT-AGAIN.
