Soul Tide's Journey Ends: A Farewell to the Dungeon Crawler
After two years and ten months, the mobile gacha game Soul Tide is officially shutting down. Developers IQI Games and publisher LemcnSun Entertainment have announced an End of Service (EOS) date of February 28th, 2025. The game is no longer available for download on the Play Store, and in-app purchases have been disabled. Any remaining in-game resources should be utilized before the server closure, 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 official X account.
Soul Tide: A Retrospective
Soul Tide, a unique blend of anime girl collection, home simulation, and dungeon crawling with turn-based combat, initially launched in Japan in 2021 and garnered positive reviews for its gameplay and art style. The game's characters possessed depth, a rarity in many gacha titles.
However, challenges arose over time, including unfavorable gacha rates, an unintuitive user interface (UI), and inconsistent translation.
While the game remains accessible on the Google Play Store (for resource depletion only), its upcoming closure marks the end of an era for its dedicated fanbase.
