“Soulstone Survivors” also uses selected characters to join the battlefield. As long as you defeat 5 bosses on each map, you can clear the level. The more bosses you kill, the higher the level of soul stones can be collected. ore.
Needless to say, each character has its own basic characteristics. Barbarians with good physique will perform close-range whirlwind cuts, while soft-skinned warlocks or hound masters can attack from a distance. Players in the initial demo version can only unlock these 3. role.
However, the character’s initial attack skills have little effect on your survival conditions, because players who are familiar with this type of game know that the key to survival is to see what skills you have when you level up.
In the game, players can choose 1 of 3 skills after leveling up, and the skills are divided into white, green, blue, purple, orange and other grades.

As for the most important battle process, it is quite comfortable to play.

If I really want to talk about the disadvantages, maybe the special effects of this game are too gorgeous, which sometimes makes you unable to see the board because of the explosion effects of your skills.
