SOLTIDE
F2P Mobile Farming RPG
Free-to-play mobile RPGs are overwhelmingly pay-to-win. Monetization ate design. What's missing from the market is a genuinely deep F2P game that combines the progression depth of an MMO, the cozy loop of a farming sim, and the moment-to-moment combat satisfaction of a modern action RPG — monetized fairly through cosmetics, not power.
SOLTIDE is a 2.5D isometric farming RPG built in Unity 6.3 LTS targeting iOS first. The world is divided into four interconnected biomes connected by a central Riftgate portal. Progression runs on 25 skills each with 99 mastery levels, inspired by the RuneScape model but adapted for mobile pacing. The art direction takes cues from Hades and Cult of the Lamb — hand-painted, moody, readable at small screen sizes. Monetization is strictly cosmetic: zero power sold, ever.
Four Interconnected Worlds
Distinct biomes unified by a central Riftgate portal — progression gates content, exploration rewards discovery.
25 Skills, 99 Levels Each
RuneScape-depth progression: combat, gathering, crafting, artisan, and support skills that interlock across activities.
2.5D Isometric Art
Hand-painted style inspired by Hades and Cult of the Lamb — rich atmosphere that reads cleanly on small mobile screens.
Cosmetic-Only Monetization
No power sold, ever. Revenue comes from skins, pets, and cosmetic housing items — respects player investment.
Farming + Action RPG Loop
Cozy farming and life-sim mechanics sit alongside satisfying real-time combat — two loops reinforcing the same progression.
Unity 6.3 LTS Foundation
Built on the latest LTS for long-term stability, with an iOS-first pipeline targeting App Store release.
SOLTIDE is in active development. The combination of cozy-sim farming, RPG progression depth, and mobile-first design fills a real gap — the production pipeline is set up to iterate quickly on the four worlds and skill systems before a polished F2P launch.
