Android is filled to the brim with games, but let’s be honest, not all of them can be flaunted around for “best in show”. At least, depending on your actual preference for graphics. There are definitely a few that are designed to put your phones or tablets to the test. Soul Taker tries to be one of them, offering players with beautifully rendered 3D graphics and over the top effects to fill up phone’s screen. And it’s an MMORPG to boot.
Like many RPGs these days, especially online ones, you will be met with your staple “go for this, kill this” tropes, and Soul Taker isn’t exactly diverging from that tradition. Depending on your patience, you might actually see all the 500 monsters and 1,000 items that developer AndromedaGames is bragging about. One thing that sets this game apart is a Pokemon-like mechanic, where, instead of totally vanquishing opponent, you get to turn them into your minions and faithful companion, by absorbing their souls no less, no matter how twisted the concept may sound.
This game is definitely one of the prettier ones in the market. That is, if over the top visuals typical of modern JRPGs are you cup of tea. What mobile RPG these days doesn’t have some sort of card system, and Soul Taker is no different. Character customization comes through classes, only two of which are currently available, the Knight and the Assassin, and skill trees. And being an online game, you can test your builds by dishing it out with other gamers worldwide in PvP.
Soul Taker-Face of Fatal Blow is available for free on Google Play Store but has in-game purchases, which isn’t exactly surprising, especially for an MMO. Price ranges from $0.99 to as much as $90, however, so do be careful when making those acquisitions. The developer notes that some items might be eligible for a refund, but better to not reach that point in the first place.
