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?
Friends:
Should you have any questions, please do let me know.

Funnily enough, I think the wording of the patent (as far as I've seen it) causes Darkest Dungeon to be in violation of it. You play as a character (the inheritor of the estate), then you summon another character (the party) who go wandering around until they meet an enemy, whereupon the game transitions to a battle screen that the player controls. I think we can all agree that DD is nothing like Pokémon, though, and should never be impacted by Pokémons attempt at monopolizing their genre.
