Soulslike - Discussion, News, Memes

This is a community for discussion, news, and memes pertaining to the video game sub-genre "soulslike".

Given Lemmy's size, the definition of soulslike may be treated relatively loosely. While games like the numerous FromSoft titles, the recent Star Wars Jedi games, Lies of P, Nioh and similar games should be the focus, games that incorporate soulslike elements - like Hollow Knight and Blasphemous, for example - may also be discussed here.

Basic Lemmy-quette applies. Additionally, since flairs don't exist yet, please do make sure to include a marker to denote what game your post is about in square brackets for clarity's sake. An example could be:

[BB] This enemy is so difficult!

or

[DS1] Anyone struggling with the gargoyles?

I don't have many bombshells myself, unfortunately. Mostly just oldies and things I've been waiting on.

Hollow Knight is good for any price, but for $7.50 is a steal. Absolutely stellar game.

Another Crab's Treasure is an...interesting one. I haven't finished it, but it had fairly good combat, imo, and a very different atmosphere to the grimdark horrors we usually find in souls-likes. I do recall the leveling felt a bit lackluster, but maybe that was just me.

Nine Souls and TUNIC are two I've been considering for a little while now. I think I'll nab Tunic and wait on Nine Souls a little longer, personally. Death's Door also caught my eye at $5. Might be a good snag.

How about y'all? Any must haves with good deals this sale?

Maybe Lords of the Fallen?

Tried it for a bit but it's very repetitive. There's only about 7 enemies that just get re-skinned for different areas. The bosses are ok. The movement feels like DkS2

Sadge. I've heard the 2.0 update added some cool stuff and you can play the game in co-op with the second player not needing a copy of the game, so I'd thought this would be a consideration at least
