What Are Souls?
Souls are the premium currency in Revolution Idle. You can use them to purchase powerful upgrades, cool cosmetic skins for your circles, or Time Flux to speed up your progress. While you can buy Souls with real money, the game is very free-to-play friendly and provides several reliable ways to earn them without spending a dime.
This guide will walk you through all the methods to earn free Souls and give you tips on how to spend them wisely.
3 Ways to Earn Souls for Free
1. Promotion Codes
The fastest way to get a large number of Souls is by using promotion codes released by the developer. These are often given out on the official Discord or other community platforms.
To redeem a code, go to the Shop Menu and click the button in the top-left corner.
Some codes that might still be active include:
SWEETUNITY25INEEDSOULS25unity
Note: Codes can expire, so it's always a good idea to check for the latest ones in the game's community hubs.
2. Achievements
Completing in-game achievements is another great way to earn Souls. Many of the early and mid-game achievements provide a one-time reward of Souls.
In total, you can earn approximately 14,000 to 15,000 Souls just by playing the game and hitting milestones. Check your achievements tab often to claim your rewards!
3. Daily Rewards
For a steady and reliable income of Souls, make sure to log in daily. The daily reward calendar gives out Souls every couple of days, with larger amounts on day 7 and day 14.
| Day | Souls Reward | Cumulative Souls |
|---|---|---|
| 2 | 200 | 200 |
| 4 | 250 | 450 |
| 6 | 250 | 700 |
| 7 | 500 | 1,200 |
| 9 | 250 | 1,450 |
| 11 | 300 | 1,750 |
| 13 | 500 | 2,250 |
| 14 | 1,000 | 3,250 |
This 14-day cycle repeats, providing a consistent flow of over 3,000 Souls every two weeks.
Spending Souls Wisely
While you can spend Souls on cosmetic skins or Time Flux, their best use is on the permanent upgrades from the Shop that boost your long-term progress. The bonuses might seem small initially, but they add up significantly.
General Spending Strategy:
- Early Game: If you're struggling, investing in Soul Upgrades that boost Prestige gains (P.Exponent, P.Multiplier) can be very helpful to speed up the early game.
- Long-Term / Endgame: For the most efficient long-term progress, many players recommend saving Souls for the Dilation Phase and investing heavily in the DP Gain Soul Upgrade. This phase is one of the longest parts of the game, so any boost here is extremely valuable.
- A Balanced Approach: Don't be afraid to spend Souls on what you need right now. If you're stuck, a small boost to your current progression stage (like permanent upgrades for Infinity or Eternity) can save you a lot of time.
Good luck, and enjoy the journey in Revolution Idle!
