Beauty meets brawn in the action-packed Souls. Build a formidable team from dozens of fascinating heroes – such as beastly Kaion with his massive sword, or flower fairy Fiona and her healing blossoms – and let the battle begin! These engrossing bouts play out automatically, so pick wisely and use shrewd positioning to defeat your foes.

What we love: The depth. Challenge fearsome bosses in the Cave of the Abyss. Climb the Tower of Souls in search of fabled treasure. Unlock high-level character abilities, such as Dolucos’ Grand Magician skill (if all his allies are killed, he’ll transform into a mighty giant!). The more you play, the more features you unveil!

Quick tip: Heroes enjoy a damage bonus when attacking certain races – human beats horde, elf beats undead and so on. Tap the colourful diagram on the upper-left corner for the lowdown, then position your warriors to give them the ultimate tactical advantage.
