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!

[DS1] Anyone struggling with the gargoyles?

[Discussion + Meta] Which Soulslike will you be playing this weekend and why won't you join our Elden Ring Seamless Co-op event?! (lemmy.zip)

Hey guys!

For this weekend's discussion post, we have an announcement to make. Inspired by the recent post about Elden Ring's "Seamless Co-op" mod by @sad_detective_man@sopuli.xyz and all the fun and interesting data they have gathered, @Skua@kbin.earth came up with an idea for an official c/Soulslike Seamless Co-op event!

He made a poll to gather some info which can be found here. Here, you can let him know what your preferred co-op experience looks like (PvP, PvE party, PvE gauntlet), what kind of communication you'd prefer (we have a Discord and a Matrix channel!), and what your general availability looks like.

The event will be taking place on 2nd May (time TBD) on PC only (at this time). The specifics of the event will be ironed out until then going off the information gathered in the poll. Another follow-up post to this one to announce the specifics will follow soon.

What you need:

a copy of Elden Ring (PC)
Steam
a knack for Jolly Co-operation™
a free Saturday

Here are the links to the Matrix channel and the Discord channel if you'd like to swing by and chat a little until then.

Huge thank you to @Skua@kbin.earth and @sad_detective_man@sopuli.xyz for coming up with the idea and organising the event - we hope you come by and have a good time!

If you guys have any questions, do let them know.

Have a great weekend y'all ♥

I've only seen clips and screenshots of Hollow Knight. I want to go in semi-blind. When I finally come around and play it, I hope I'm not setting my expectations to high.

I never played the first Slay the Spire. I recently had a lot of fun playing the deckbuilder board game Dominion. So I thought I should try a video game. I know Slay the Spire 2 is in early access, but a lot of people seem to be having a lot of fun with it. So I thought, I might as well go for the sequel. Also, the placeholder art is cute.

That's perfect. Go in as blond as possible to preserve that sense of wonder :)

Yea there's not much of a point to play STS1 at this point. STS2 is so well-polished already, you can safely skip it. There's a couple cards and enemies missing, but the replacements make up for it big time.

Enjoy your time and feel free to ask if you need help!
