I recently passed my first level in Soulkeep, and trust me, it was a fiery experience! It wasn't as easy as I initially thought. I was able to kill over 100 Fiends, distributed as follows: 76 Common, 26 Rare, and 4 Epic. The Epic were honestly the hardest thing I encountered in that level.
What made the challenge even more challenging was that I started with 15 hearts but by the end of the battle I only had 3 remaining and I managed to survive, and I kept saying, "I'm going to die!" But I made it through.
Throughout the game, I began to understand how the world works. At first, I was just playing, but now I've begun to understand the importance of everything. Especially tower upgrades. I thought the difference was minimal, but when I upgraded my first tower to a higher level, I noticed a huge difference in effectiveness, hit power, and the speed at which I eliminated Fiends.
I also started gaining real experience with the Fiends. I developed a sense of who attacks quickly who dodges attacks and who is slow but strong in damage. This led me to arrange my defenses more intelligently and choose the right places to build towers.
The game makes you feel like you're in a real battlefield and every decision you make can make a difference in the outcome. That's why I wanted to share my experience so that anyone new to Soulkeep can understand that the first level can be difficult but with experience and learning things get better and also with trying and trying.
