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?

The FromSoft character creators are quite notorious for allowing people to create... unique characters. Bar creating astoundingly beautiful and serious characters, what was a character that you thoroughly enjoyed conceptualising, creating, and playing with? Maybe you had a certain head canon or backstory for the character?

I ended up foretelling my going bald and having glasses with my first Bloodborne character, funnily enough. He was bald and had small, round glasses. Initially thought to be a random ass character, except for the small glasses, that's basically me now. Man, fondly thinking of the time when I still had hair. Laughs in male pattern baldness 🥲

Curious to see your characters!

I did an Iron Tarkus cosplay build in DKS1. Stuck with the heavy roll and chose the wolf ring and ring of steel protection. Dumped pretty much everything into strength, health, and endurance.

It actually performed a lot better than I thought it would. Any physical damage build I was up against was pretty immediately shocked at how little damage I took.
