Soul Harvest

⠀

Simple, fast paced. Lot of fun playing this. Don't take it too serious as it's just another fun free to play game, but well worth checking out and having some fun with a group of friends.

"Soul Harvest" is a rather badly made 2D retro pixel top down RTS designed for local multiplayer because I guess the developers couldn't work out netcode. Control a bunch of pixel blobs and bash up other pixel blobs with a mediocre heavy metal soundtrack and a "Played too much DooM" theme... or instead, join the 12 million gamers on Steam who completely ignored this. This features really godawful, lazy pixelcrap "art" instead of real graphics. It's hard to say if this was because the developer didn't have the skill to do the job of creating 3D visuals, or couldn't afford to hire someone who does, but it also doesn't matter. What matters is that this looks bad because of that decision, and that's a major deterrent to gamers. Games like Terraria and Stardew Valley succeeded [i]despite[/i] the bad graphics, not because of them. It's free... now, but it wasn't before. The developer was charging $1 USD for this. Price barriers, especially on low quality products, can be a direct cause of failure. It's a nice gesture for the game to be given away for free, but it also tells us that the game wasn't good enough to succeed as a paid product. Even though this is "free", it failed …

I liked it. I couldn't get anyone I know to pay it with me though. Odd game, but a free game.

Sure
