Solheim

3 months of development. I repeat — THREE MONTHS. How is this even possible?! Let's start with the elephant in the room. For me, the visuals alone are worth the price of admission. From the moment the Ark starts moving through those corrupted biomes, I was completely pulled in. The art style is dark, atmospheric, and dripping with personality. The world of Solheim is hauntingly beautiful and I found myself just... looking around, taking it all in. The augment + hero synergy is where things get really fun. Combining your heroes abilities with stacked augments creates these satisfying "everything clicked" moments that keep you coming back. One thing that genuinely surprised me is how much you have to think about the economy behind your towers. As the story progresses, the cost of building and upgrading them increases quite significantly, which can feel overwhelming at first, but actually adds a really satisfying layer of strategy. You can't upgrade everything, you have to choose wisely, prioritize, and sometimes sacrifice a weaker tower to be able to afford the one that truly matters. It gives real weight to every decision and a genuine sense of progression. Exactly the kind of chall…

I played Solheim on Steam and overall I had a great experience. The world is beautiful and well-designed, with impressive graphics that really bring everything to life. The music fits perfectly and creates a relaxing and immersive atmosphere. The gameplay is enjoyable and easy to get into, making exploration feel natural and engaging. I especially liked how everything flows together — the visuals, the sound, and the mechanics. As for progression, most of the loot on the map comes from chests placed in specific locations, and you can also unlock new heroes from time to time, which adds a nice sense of reward. However, one thing I didn’t like is the lack of a sprint button. Moving around the world can feel a bit slow at times, and having the option to move faster would make exploration much more enjoyable. It would also be great to see more dynamic events while exploring on foot, especially ones tied to lore, to make the world feel even more alive. In addition to these events, it would be really interesting if players could discover points of interest with messages, bits of information, or lore scattered throughout the world. Overall, Solheim is a solid and relaxing game that I w…

I got the game to support indie devs and to challenge myself with a genre I don't usually play. Honestly, I'm glad I did. It's quite a challenging and in-depth game, and I really enjoyed experimenting with different tower setups and seeing what works best. Overall, I really like the unique theme the devs went for, and I can definitely say the gameplay gets quite addictive. Even though the graphics are fairly simple, I find them really pleasing and easy on the eyes. They do a great job of making the game look pretty without being demanding, which also means it can run well on both lower-end and higher-end machines. I also really appreciate the story bits that have been added. The game isn't focused entirely on strategy, and those little pieces of story make the world feel more immersive and like it has a meaning beyond just the gameplay. I'm looking forward to seeing the game's progress and what gets added in the future. [i]For other Steam Deck enjoyers, the game also seems to work and run fine on it.[/i]

I honestly didn’t expect Solheim to pull me in the way it did. It’s not even the kind of game I usually play, but somehow it completely won me over. The first thing that shocked me was how beautiful the game looks. Knowing that it was developed in just 3 months makes it even more impressive. The atmosphere, the environments, the lighting — everything feels crafted with so much passion and attention to detail. There are moments where you just stop for a second and admire the world around you. What surprised me the most is that even though this genre normally isn’t my thing, I genuinely fell in love with Solheim. There’s something special about the way the game feels. It has soul. You can tell the developers poured their heart into it instead of just trying to make “another game.” It’s rare for a game outside my usual tastes to keep me interested, but Solheim did exactly that. Massive respect to the team for creating something this polished and memorable in such a short amount of time. I can’t wait to see what they do next.
