A pixel-art MMORPG built by a small team, Soul's Remnant is already pulling players into its grind-heavy world: more than a quarter have already logged over 25 hours. Yet technical hiccups and a rocky launch keep the score firmly in the positive without ever crossing into the ‘great’ territory.

What it's about: Soul's Remnant is a 2D platformer MMORPG focused on social gameplay and exploration! Customize your character, and conquer dungeons and bosses in this mysterious world. Play with friends or make new ones - just watch out when night falls!

« As someone who played many of the beta tests, many things have been improved for the Early Access release. It's free, there's no obtrusive cash shop and it's a simple MMO made by one developer. I definitely recommend trying it out. »

« Fun game overall. However, this being free to play - bots have already ruined any resemblance of economy, sense of progress or "competition" via rankings. Every map is polluted with 50-80% of bots camping spawn points. »

Who is it for?

Fans of classic MMORPGs who don’t mind a steep grind and don’t fear the occasional crash will feel right at home. Casual explorers should temper expectations or wait for patch 1.1.

Is Soul's Remnant worth it in 2026?

Yes, but with a few reservations: 76% of 680 Steam reviews are positive (player score 68/100). Most-praised strength: Gameplay loops that keep the grind alive. Main point of caution: aggressive monetization. The game is free to play.

Verdict

Soul's Remnant carves out a cozy niche between nostalgia and modern grind, but its shaky launch keeps the ceiling lower than it should be. With a 76 % Steam score, it’s worth a try—just temper that FOMO with a controller save state.
