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 Final Curtain:
Effective immediately, the game is no longer available 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.
A final content update is planned before the EOS, offering a special send-off for loyal 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 enjoyed positive reviews upon release, praised for its gameplay and visually appealing, storybook-style graphics. Unlike many gacha games, Soul Tide's characters possessed depth and well-developed personalities.
However, challenges arose over time, including unfavorable gacha rates, an unintuitive user interface (UI), and inconsistent translation.
While the game is no longer downloadable, players with remaining resources can still access it on the Google Play Store.
