Review Score
Gameplay
Combination of action-RPG with RTS elements makes for a unique gaming experience.
Replay Value
Unless you enjoy fast-paced action-RPG style gameplay, this game can get somewhat repetitive with all the grinding.
Graphics
The graphics have a nice level of cartoony detail that gives some decent atmosphere. Flashy special effects are also decent.
Audio
Passable music with some solid sound effects to accompany the graphical effects makes for pleasant action.

Overall
Unique blend of RPG with RTS makes this a must-try.

Soul Master Official North/South America Website

Introduction

NOTE:  I am conducting this review from playing the North and South American version available at Games Campus.

Soul Master is a free-to-play massively multiplayer online real-time strategy game, or MMORTS for short.  It blends RPG elements with real-time strategy.  You have a persistent hero character that levels up and can equip items you earn from completing missions, buy from a merchant or other player, or crafted yourself.  The heart of the gameplay is in the PVE missions and PVP matches.  Missions and matches play similar to DoTA, which has you controlling a single hero character while your armies fight by themselves without any interaction from you.  The difference in Soul Master is that it has an RTS component, albeit a light one.  You can gather resources and construct buildings in order to summon creatures called Souls to help you fight.  You can also give your Souls simple commands like staying at a particular spot or to attack a particular enemy.  Thus, Soul Master blends RPG and RTS elements together for a unique gameplay experience.
