Soul Tide Shuts Down, Leaving Players Heartbroken

Soul Tide's journey is coming to a close. Developers IQI Games and publisher LemcnSun Entertainment have announced the End of Service (EOS) for Soul Tide. After two years and ten months since its global mobile launch, the game will officially shut down on February 28th, 2025.

Soul Tide's Final Curtain:

Effective immediately, Soul Tide is unavailable for download on the Play Store, and in-app purchases are disabled. Any remaining in-game resources should be utilized before the shutdown, as all game data will be permanently deleted.

However, a final content update is planned before the EOS, offering a special send-off for dedicated players. Details will be revealed soon via the developers' official X account.

A Retrospective on Soul Tide:

Soul Tide is a unique dungeon crawler featuring turn-based combat, anime girl collection, home simulation, and dungeon exploration elements. Initially launched in Japan in 2021, it's set in a fantasy world ravaged by witches, incorporating dating sim and roguelite mechanics.

The game initially garnered positive reviews, praised for its engaging gameplay and visually appealing, storybook-inspired art style. Unlike many gacha games, Soul Tide's characters possessed depth and personality.

Unfortunately, challenges arose over time, including less-than-favorable gacha rates, an unwieldy user interface (UI), and inconsistent translation.

While the game remains accessible on the Google Play Store (for resource depletion), its impending closure marks the end of an era for its players.
