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.

The screenshots of scantily clad anime girls primarily
Are they that scantily clad or am I just brainbroken by modern standards? They look like typical anime designs to me - which for the record I don't particularly love either but they don't stand out as over the top horny?
Anyway the game itself is not horny at all. The main character is a child, there is no sex anywhere, there is no flirting - not even between other characters.
The only suspect part is the anime beach episode DLC but you have to purchase that separately and it's not part of the game or the main story. And honestly the game would be better without it. At least it adds some fun items and abilities and you don't have to engage with it beyond that.
I don't think there's a right or wrong approach here - I just might be a bit more sceptical or a little more sensitive when it comes to this topic. But if you say it's fine, I'll definitely have a look at it and try to go in as unbiased as possible.
I hope you do, I think it's one of the best roguelike deckbuilders ever. The mechanics are great, the boss fights are interesting and there are plenty of different builds available since you have four characters to combine and each has at least two ways to build them, often with build A and B for a character synergizing with different other party members.
The story is also surprisingly decent and touches on some interesting themes and even though I don't really like anime it managed to land the big moments for me.
A deckbuilder with an actual story is also interesting. With your Slay the Spires and Monster Trains, the focus is usually on the gameplay and not so much plot. Interested in seeing how that works
