Soulslike - Discussion, News, Memes

945 readers

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?

There ain't no unlimited use invasion tool, and farming them is both annoying and also fucks up your SM. How can I be bad red man if they don't give me bad red man balls? ๐Ÿ˜ฉ

DS2 introduces a lot of great things, but SM was not one of them. It unfortunately limits the amount of fun you can have on a single character. You can use that ring that takes all the souls, but that's probably the only workaround.

Oh... I had forgotten about that ring. That should take at least the SM woes out of farming. But not the time or bonfire aesetics. ๐Ÿ˜ญ

It really is insane that DS2 has both the least limited multiplayer as it is not constrained by location, level or weapon upgrades but also the most limiting simultaneously because of Soul Memory.
