All Ages of Geek’s Review on Sol Mates

Sol Mates has a bright, playful look, and the characters are seriously cute, but the game still keeps that space sci-fi mood. The ships are perfectly designed, clean metal platforms, glowing panels, chunky buttons, and that endless starfield sitting right behind everything. Even goofy moments feel like they belong in a real space adventure.

It also nails that everyone has a job co-op rhythm: one player steering, another watching shields, someone loading weapons, someone else putting out fires or charging batteries. The stages make those roles feel natural because the layout keeps changing, tight paths that demand careful driving, wider areas that turn into hazard control, and sudden panic moments where the ship feels one mistake away from falling apart.

What really sells it is how the chaos turns into teamwork. If one person tries to cover every station, the run collapses fast. When the crew communicates and swaps roles mid-disaster, it becomes the exact kind of couch co-op energy that brings back the GameCube and Wii era, friends talking over each other, quick callouts, laughing at the mess, then immediately wanting another run.

The decision-voting system helps with that flow too, giving each run a quick group choice that changes the path without slowing things down.

Key Features:

  • Customize: Pick your color! Pick your hat! Pick your species(!?)
  • Upgrade: Shop on your journey; bigger shields, freezing ammo, tractor beams, oh my!
  • Vote: For decisions big and small, consult your crewmates and choose your adventure!
  • Juice: For veteran Sol Mates, juice up the challenge with additional difficulty to unlock more swag!

Sol Mates is a perfect game for those who love games that don’t take themselves to seriously, but truly deliver a fun experience alone and in a group. Fans of Overcooked! team work, Kirby Air Ride vibe, and Star Fox Adventures atmosphere, this game is a must for you, and for those who just LOVE an easy to understand roguelike co-op this one is for you!

Get the game!
