Highlight of the week: Soulmask
- Genre:Survival
- Release:May 31, 2024
Soulmaskwas already playable as a demo on Steam in February and attracted quite a few survival fans back then. Now the game is being released in Early Access on Steam, earlier than initially planned.
You start your fight for survival in a dense jungle. Later on, however, you will also explore snowy mountain peaks and dusty deserts. You will have to fight enemy warriors and creatures such as sabre-toothed tigers and mammoths with swords, bows and other medieval weapons.
In typical genre fashion, you collect food and resources, build weapons and equipment and establish your own base. You can also build entire villages and recruit NPCs to work there. As you progress through the game, you will unlock new skills and technologies that will make you stronger. You can even fight battles against other tribes and players later on.
