Soulmask

Soulmask: Shifting Sands releases its Egyptian DLC alongside its exit from early access. Generous in content, it offers a complete experience: exploration, crafting, building, combat, and NPC management. It holds great potential for fans of the genre, especially since the DLC provides a change of scenery compared to the South American jungle.

Soulmask offers a very well-executed blend of survival elements in a sandbox game set in a captivating, magical world full of primitive tribes. The option to choose between PvP and PvE servers can enhance your gaming experience just as much as the well-designed leveling system, including skill trees. The use of tribal companions—who can truly help you and even join you in battle—gives the impression that you’re just one of many and that the community comes first. However, the game clearly emphasizes online play with other players, with whom you’ll enjoy it the most.

Soulmask is a game that integrates different gameplay elements within the survival crafting genre, offering a refreshing experience for someone like me who has grown tired of traditional survival crafting games. While it shares the slow and complex nature of the genre, the help of NPC tribesmen and customisable settings allow players to quickly immerse themselves in an addictive survival and exploration loop. You can experience almost all the core pleasures of survival crafting in this game. The current content is already rich enough to support long-term play for Survival Crafting enthusiasts, surpassing many similar games that have been in Early Access for years.
