About Soul Savior
Soul Savior is a top-down action roguelite tower defense. You are a mage guarding piles of gold deep in a dungeon: blast monster hordes with elemental spells, lay traps between waves, and decide the fate of every villager's soul. Play solo, or in online co-op with a friend.
Monsters Want Your Gold
Monsters ignore you and rush your treasures. Every thief that reaches one runs off with your gold. Kill it before it gets back to its spawn point and it drops the loot.
When your last coin is gone, they come for you.
5 Elements, 4 Ways to Cast
Fire burns, water slows for a long time, nature slows heavily, electricity stuns and darkness marks your targets. Cast them as projectiles, AOE, lasers or Dragon's Breath.
Strike a monster with the opposite element for a critical hit.
Prepare Between Waves
Between waves, visit the merchant. Buy spells, upgrades, equipment and traps, and save some gold: you earn interest at the end of every wave.
The bear trap kills instantly. The web trap holds monsters in place, the spring trap sends them back to their spawn point, the thief trap makes looters drop half their gold, and the portal teleports you to the treasure under attack.
Save, Sacrifice... or Corrupt
Lead a villager to the altar of light and their soul will serve you: rearming your traps, collecting your gold, even mining gold for you.
Or let your spells take them for raw power. Your reputation slides from white mage to dark mage and changes your damage, the merchant's stock and your souls' behavior. Fall too low and the souls you save become corrupted.
Better Together
Play the whole game in online co-op for two. Each mage has their own spells, traps and shop. Some monsters carry an elemental shield that only the right element can break.
A New Dungeon Every Run
Every dungeon is built from a seed. Play the daily seed and climb the leaderboard, or share a seed with a friend: the same seed always plays out the same way.
Grow Stronger
Combine 133 spell upgrades, 6 pieces of equipment and Codex books into builds that wipe out entire waves. Some items only show up with a good... or a bad reputation.
Between runs, spend your saved, taken and corrupted souls in the Soul Shop on new spells, upgrades, traps and mage outfits.
