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?

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?

Commander Honglan in Wuchang: Fallen Feathers is a delight to fight. The internet is full of people complaining that she's too hard, but my friend beat her in 5 tries with a magic build. I, meanwhile, lost probably over 200 times (at a low estimate) trying to beat her with the starting longsword and the parry skill, and beating her was one of the most satisfying victories I've ever had in a soulslike. At no point did she feel unfair to fight, she's just difficult. The fight felt very tight, fast-paced, and fluid.
