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!

[DS1] Anyone struggling with the gargoyles?

I've only heard of I think two of these before, but never played them. What does this comm think of the pack? Worth it?

I've played Atergios, Achilles, and Salt and Sanctuary (game before Salt and Sacrifice).

Salt and Sacrafice: Probably worth the $16 price tag on its own. The first game was really well done and felt like a 2D dark souls game, although I think more forgiving (2D forces tighter controls so combat felt more reasonable). There are also multiple endings and play styles -Astergios: I didn't finish the is game, but it seemed okay. I think it played more like Lies of P, with more linear segments and the combat isn't as strong as dark souls or Lies of P
Achilles: I didn't know this was considered a souls-like. I only played a little bit of it before getting distracted by something else, but it's a top down action rpg that felt more like Diablo or Torchlight than dark souls. I think it was a good game, but I'm not well vered in top down action rpgs.
