Honestly, my first impression was that it was similar to Splinterlands, but I liked that it was a little easier especially in terms of menus and cards. If you're not a pro or into complex games you'll really like this one.
The game has three main elements: Towers, Spells, and Hero. These are the three things you'll work with all the time as you try to protect your land.
When I first started the tutorial, I felt like I was playing a mobile defense game. Simple and flexible , with no complexities that would cause headaches. The first tower you place is called the Gloom Owl and it's the beginning of your journey. You place it in a specific location to repel attacks and then you start developing it to become stronger and cover a larger area.
What helped me pass this level were the towers I was given at the beginning, like the Gloom Owl and the Tarantula Loom. The Gloom Owl was excellent at slowing down enemies and hitting them from afar, and I always placed it in areas with lots of turns to hit them for the longest possible time. As for the Tarantula Loom, it was a deadly weapon against large waves of enemies, acting like a deadly trap that halts their progress and deals decent damage.
After completing the first level, my excitement increased, and I started thinking about the challenges ahead. Now I'm entering the second level very excited to try out new spells as a part I've been looking forward to since I first saw the spell list.
I feel like spells will open new doors for me in defense and tactics especially as enemies become stronger and faster. I'm also very excited to try out new towers, see how each one works, and what I can combine with the ones I already have.
Soulkeep is truly a captivating game, and the more you progress, the more you'll want to try more. I'm currently focused on fine-tuning my strategy and seeing which towers and spells will work together optimally.
The next level looks more challenging, but that makes the experience even more enjoyable.
