Soul Gambler

7/10 Soul Gambler is a comic book style visual novel retelling the classic story of Faust in the modern age. Clever, edgy, and memorable but choices don’t seem to truly matter. Soul Gambler is a comic book styled visual novel where you can make choices. You play as Faust, from the historical classic Doctor Faustus, retold in the modern age. Faust makes a deal where he has the ability to sell parts of his soul to grant his wishes, how much of his soul is given away for his desires is up to you. There’s multiple endings. The story itself is entertaining, even if I didn’t necessarily like Faust as a person. I enjoyed the artstyle and thought the sounds and music added to the gameplay experience which ran pretty smoothly for me. I encountered no bugs while playing. It took me around ~3 hours to finish the game in its entirety with all achievements. No trading cards but Point Shop Items are available. The biggest problem with the game is the choices seemingly not mattering, many of which resulting in dead ends or forcing you to choose what you didn’t want to do regardless. The game claims to allow you to choose how the story unfolds, immerse yourself, and own the ability to sell par…

Decent comic-style art and a variety of choices.

a poorly written self-indulgent mess that should've just been a webcomic, not a game

Meh

Kept my soul pure and intact until the very end. Gave it all to a [spoiler]redhead[/spoiler]. And all I got was... [spoiler]Nothing... Nothing... Nothing... Nothing... Nothing... [/spoiler] ...Definitely gonna do it again, though :)

It's an alright game that I bought a long time ago for 50 cents. Wish it had a faster way to skip dialogue but it is what it is.
