Signed up for the Duskbloods network test. It’s, definitely its own thing. There were a lot of concerns that the PvE aspect was going to be a sideshow, but it’s more like a ton of From Soft PvE with the PvP looming in the background. Triumphing at the end is obviously the goal, but it rewards you more so for efficiently doing the PvE section than your PvP skills. I’ve never played a soulslike game before and I definitely felt like that was a detriment, so I hope the launch version has training modes where we can learn the fights against the tougher mobs in a low stakes environment.
Cool, I saw Vaati's video on it and it looked really fun to me.
From never did this before I don't think, unless there's something like that in Nightreign because I haven't played that, so I wouldn't keep my hopes up for that.
If you're interested in it after playing the network test, soulsborne games are great. If you want the one which is gonna have the closest feel to Duskbloods, Elden Ring is what you want. Or if the aesthetic of Duskbloods is more of your style, there's Bloodborne, you can even emulate it pretty well right now. But you could probably start in any From game and it would be good to be honest.
