“I fell from a mountain and died. 10/10 would die again. The negative reviews are largely from dim-bulb woke-mongers who are sad that males can not bear children. This is a survival game. You play to establish your…”
“In the current state I cannot recommend the game, I am hoping to be able to change my review at 1.0 release. Too many systems are hobbled together with puzzling UI decisions, frustrating AI decisions with zero…”
“So, I discovered this game due to the rabid leftists that screeched about the developer. I decided "well, I guess I'll try the demo at least" and then I enjoyed it, quite a bit. From there, I played about 2-4 hours ish,…”

“Steep learning curve, but once you figure it out, the game is a fantastic second-monitor rpg/survival game. Basically limitless in what you can do, and still a work in progress. I regularly find myself in a "one more…”
“Excellent game which you can get lost in for hours. It has a large variety of content and each playthrough feels different. The modding community produces some good stuff too.”
“This game starts out as a rogue-like RPG then switches to becoming a civilization builder essentially. In the first part of the game you gather resources and try to stay alive while building a home base. If you die, you…”

“Ok. The game itself is good, the dev is updating constantly almost every month which is a good thing. The only downside is that.... the game itself is in a bit barebones. It has a bit of everything like adventuring,…”
“Fun exploration and crafting game, excited to see where the updates take this. Hoping it gets some political intrigue along with the wars like Crusader Kings 3 or Bannerlord.”
“I have really enjoyed this game, especially the combination of an open world rpg with settlement building, while there are a few rough edges here and there the game is in a completely playable state right now even…”

“Charming game. It's an updated version of the old ASCII RPGs with many features and mechanics. May seem intimidating at first but its pretty easy to get the hang of. The generating and advancing world adds endless…”

“While the core gameplay is fun, it seems like we're nearing release, and the game is not... well designed. 1. It relies on RNG and excessive grinding for specific items in order to gate progression. 2. The potential…”

“I actually gave this game a bad review, then deleted it, at about 8 hours in. I had two very frustrating character deaths in a very short time span, which almost made me quit entirely. If you play this game and you…”

“The Game is 'ight, but there's a lot of "Almost there" in this game. I like the setting, the presentation, the races, the general vibes. All of it is very, VERY, almost there. With a few more updates, I think I'll come…”
“Rampantly homophobic dev that'd rather go on unhinged twitter rants than fixing his game's glaring design issues or accepting any hint of criticism. This is Dwarf Fortress and Caves of Qud stripped of anything creative…”
“Dev is a homophobic chud & his community is full of alt-right troglodytes. Just play Dwarf Fortress instead. Or Caves of Cud. Or Jupiter Hell Classic. Or Cogmind. Or literally any other classic style roguelike.…”

“Still really buggy, lot's of unclear mechanics. Does really poor job in communicating what's going on with more advanced systems. Also leveling up many skills is really poorly designed. I really want to love this game…”
“Soulash 2 is completely overrated. I've put 20hrs into it and I can see that the systems are all underbaked. The combat system is just a small step above basic. There are only few skills and most of them are just "hit…”

I want more of it, I understand that the dev is active and updates the game on a regular basis, but I am an impatient man and I want more. 2. This game works on linux with proton, but native…”
— a player, Steam review · 55 hrs played“We are getting close to 1.0 but Soulash 2 still feels very unfinished. The game lacks any element of story generation found in other games, 99% of interesting stuff happens when you create the world. NPCs serve only as guides and workers, doesn't matter if they are part of your…”
