Soul Master

About

Soul Master is a turn-based strategy RPG with card game mechanics set in a magical academy. Players guide an apprentice wizard through a pyramid-shaped battlefield filled with monsters, advancing from the four corners toward the center. Each move involves tactical positioning and spellcasting to clear enemies, with the goal of reaching and defeating the top first. Combat blends resource management and timing, as players juggle their own abilities with the shifting layout of the board. The game’s mix of RPG progression and competitive multiplayer stands out. Set in a world where cat-like beings coexist with monsters, it leans into quirky fantasy lore without overloading it. Released in 1997 for PlayStation, its blend of strategy and collectible elements made it a niche title. While not a commercial giant, its oddball formula has kept it in the memories of longtime PlayStation RPG fans.
