Soul Land: Awakening World

Soul Land: Awakening World Review: The Anime, Faithfully, at a Cultivation Crawl

A Shrek Academy Student, Spirit Rings and the Seven Monsters

The licence is dual — anime and novel — and the reviews from readers say it shows. You play a new student whose Soul Power awakens; you absorb halos (the series' spirit rings) from hunted Spirimon, meet the Seven Monsters and the Spirit Temple Elders, and travel from Saint Village to the Isle of Poseidon. A June 17, 2026 App Store four-star who has read the books and watched the show is amazed at how well it captures them; the most-voted Play review, a June 19 five-star with 24 votes, calls the storyline and character skills endless. The limits sit in the same reviews: a June 15 three-star with 15 votes is disappointed there is no character customisation and that everyone is forced into Shrek Academy. A June 14 three-star says the open world plays like Dragon Raja — tap the mission and the game walks you there.

Stunning, Slow, and Half-Supported on a Controller

Two threads run through the App Store reviews: it looks like the anime, and it plods. A June 19 three-star calls the visuals stunning and every little thing slow, with very few choices; a June 7 three-star finds progression very slow for anyone who already knows the story; the June 17 four-star says the experience gains are too small and the stamina options too few. Google Play's June 7 four-star adds too much dialogue and not enough combat at the start, upgrading that is a pain, combat that is great — and a Snapdragon phone overheating. Controller support is partial: a June 21 four-star has to jump between pad and touch. Voices are Chinese only, per a July 5 review. August reviews report a black screen on pressing start and an endless loading screen on the second launch. Android is on version 2.7.1, iOS on 2.7.2, in four languages.

Deluxe Packs, Trident Coins, $299.99 Items and Loot Boxes

Google Play prices items from $0.29 to $299.99 and labels the listing as including random items; the App Store's top ten are numbered Deluxe Packs from $0.99 to $19.99 plus 68 Trident Coins at $9.99, and Apple flags Loot Boxes. A June 29 four-star calls it a great game if it were not pay to win, especially in PvE and the gacha. There is no ads badge on either store. Data collection is broad: Google's card lists location, personal info and two other types collected, with device IDs shared with third parties, and Apple lists identifiers and other data linked to you. The iOS build is 3.71 GB and runs on iOS 13 or later; Android needs 8.0. Three and a half months in it has 500,000-plus installs and 17,200 reviews at 4.4 on Play, 439 App Store ratings at 4.8. Prices are regional and the packs rotate.
