Soul Tide's journey is nearing its end. Developers IQI Games and publisher LemcnSun Entertainment have announced the game's End of Service (EOS). After a two-year and ten-month run since its global mobile launch, Soul Tide will officially shut down on February 28th, 2025.
Soul Tide's EOS Date:
The game will be unavailable for download from the Play Store immediately, and all in-app purchases are disabled. Any remaining in-game resources should be utilized before the shutdown, as all game data will be permanently deleted.
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 Look Back at 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 storybook-style visuals. Unlike many gacha games, Soul Tide's characters possessed significant depth.
However, challenges arose over time, including unfavorable gacha rates, an unwieldy user interface (UI), and inconsistent translation.
While the game remains accessible on the Google Play Store (for resource depletion), its time is limited.
