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] Who's your favourite boss in terms of combat in a Soulslike? (lemmy.zip)

Between Asylum Demon, Tower Demon, Witches of Hemwick and Genichiro, he probably takes the cake for me.

At first, he's a huge wall and pretty much impossible to beat for new players. Once you get the hang of the combat, it just clicks (literal shills running down my spine) and you end up appreciating the fight a lot.

What's your pick?

^For^ ~the~ ^umpteenth^ ~time~ Ludwig <3

Close to him Messmer and Midra many honorary mentions from ER/SotE edit: and Nightreign!

Hard agree on Genichiro, fucking SUPERB fight.

Ludwig is a really good pick - completely forgot about him. Only thought of Papa Guacamole when thinking of BB yesterday, strangely enough

Ludwig is such an awesome fight where thematic transition is underlined with fantastic game mechanics.

Ludwig's soundtrack is some of From's absolute finest work
