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?

Are rumors fair to share in this community?

The translated excerpt from the leaker, previously known to leak Elden Ring details before it's announcement:

“From what I know, The Duskbloods was greenlit even earlier than the marketing period for Sekiro’s release. It is the FromSoftware title that has spent the longest time purely on gameplay prototyping and validation among all of their games so far. Although it’s PVE and PVP, it reportedly contains many innovative elements the team themselves are very proud of.”

Actually sounds pretty cool ngl. I love soulslikes, duh, and love roguelikes a lot. Just the other day I thought about if a roguelike and a soulslike combined would work well, only to the realise that that exists already lol. Only problem would be money for me right now.

I suspect my PC could underperform a little so I probably wouldn't buy the game there. The only other option would be PS5, but paying for online sucks and I've pretty much moved away from console in favour of PC the past couple months. How's the performance should you play on PC?

It runs on a Steam Deck so it’s not real demanding, Might have to lower the settings a little. It was released on PS4 too to give you an idea.
