Soulstone Survivors Characters List and Unlock Conditions

Soulstone Survivors just burst onto the scene, marrying the skill-based combat of Diablo with the endless horde-battling of Vampire Survivors. It also features a bunch of secrets to uncover, including new Soulstone Survivors characters to unlock. Given that these are hidden until you’ve discovered them, we figured we’d put together a Soulstone Survivors characters list, complete with instructions on how to get them all.

If you haven’t heard of it yet, Soulstone Survivors is, effectively, Vampire Survivors in 3D. However, it does share blood with action RPGs like Diablo and Torchlight – the latter of which clearly provides inspiration in the visual department. You’ll battle hundreds of monsters, collect loot, improve your character on the fly, and, hopefully, unlock a few new characters to play.

You can learn more about the developer of Soulstone Survivors on the official site. We also recommend checking out our Vampire Survivors characters, Vampire Survivors evolution, and Survivor.io tier list.

Soulstone Survivors Characters FAQ

Now, we’ll answer a bunch of questions you may have about Soulstone Survivors characters or the game in general.

Why Aren’t All of the Soulstone Survivors Characters Unlocked by Default?

Well, that’s part of the fun of games like this: discovering secrets and unlocking stuff as you play. While the core gameplay is relatively system, the intricate systems and unlock mechanisms are often cryptic to encourage you to explore everything the game has to offer.

How do the Characters Differ?

Each character favours a different playstle. The Barbarian, Paladin, and Death Knight, for example, love getting up close and personal, while the Pyromancer, Elementalist, and Elementalist prefer standing back and flinging spells.

Then you’ve got summoning and pet classes, like the Necromancer or Hound Master. Unlocking new characters, and discovering entirely new setups is all a part of the fun.
