Default SoulCraft Beta

SoulCraft beta is out for Tegra 3 devices

https://market.android.com/details?i...bits.soulcraft

interesting game, mind you though it is beta and I'm sure there are bugs and problems but i haven't had any yet

it doesn't give you to many instructions so you kinda have to figure it out yourself

it kinda reminds me of Diablo a little bit

give it a shot

I tried it out Very briefly. I didn't like it. It wasn't what I thought. I didn't like the way you shoot/use your weapon. seemed very tedious and not practical the way you fight the wave of monsters. Plus I couldn't tell a difference playing online vs. offline. Some of the spells and special powers you use are cool. I ran into some bugs. The controls kept freezing up and I couldn't move. then other times I could move but my weapon button didn't want to work. In the heat of the action the game kept pausing although I never pressed pause button. it came from the attack button.

Overall the game has potential but seems more like a tegra2 game. Hence the reason description says either tegra2 or tegra3 can play it. This was not optimized for tegra3. The top down view of everything doesn't really do this game any justice graphics wise.If the graphics are nothing to get excited over then it better have some killer gameplay. The loading screens looked cool and made you think you in store for something big. I personally couldn't get into enough. Seemed tedious having the monsters just all swarm you. Alot of things need to be done to make this game better. Make gameplay go smoother and possibly zoom up the came more to show more details of the scenery and action. Main thing is changing the way you attack. Having to hold button down and arrow pointing to where you shooting is too much and adds to clutter of screen. This is a beta though so I'm sure it'll get alot better and major things will be changed/improved.

I agree. Game play is kinda meh. I was expecting more out of it. It also stuttered from time to time. I think its more for tegra 2 devices since I dont experience the stutter on my acer a100. Either way I wouldnt buy this game.

I actually enjoyed it (Only played the first couple of levels).
Needs more work, but had some fun. I agree, the combat wasn't exactly what I expected and could be improved upon.

At this stage, with 1 Tegra3 tablet in existance (and supply still extremely low), I don't think many companies will see the benefit of making Tegra 3 exclusive games. Hopefully with time.

Pretty dissapointing for such a hyped up game... To me its just another skinned gun bros game with bad graphics...

So far I'm pretty dissapointed with all tegra 3 games.

Shadowgun thd, tegra 3 version is choppy at times exp during boss fights.

Motogp thd, tegra 3 version is randomly choppy during races.

Even samurai 2 has the usual choppyness at the start of each level (I suppose its loading animations, but still wtf).

Hopefully it will get some real games soon that can atleast compete with ipad 2.

And what's with asus changing specs every month? First tegra 3 was a quad 1.5ghz, then 1.4 and now their adverising it as 1.3...

I bought mine when it was 1.4 but according to setcpu and other system information tools it is clearly only 1.3ghz quad core...

1.4 when using one core and 1.3 using up to 4 cores.

They better hide the back n home button. While playing if you hit any of those, you get booted off. No quick resume
