Soulslike - Discussion, News, Memes

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?

I had to post this because I've clamoured for American McGee's Alice 3: This Time It's A Soulslike for ages now and finally someone is doing it (sort of...). We can't really see too much in this trailer but I really hope this turns out well, the setting has so much potential for a Soulslike.

For the setting... Aesthetics are a letdown. Lawd, not every soulslike has to be derivative like that. I Hope it has stellar gameplay I guess.

Tap for spoilerI'm a negative nancy today because god I hate those pants.

I was hoping for more of Alice: Madness Returns, but at least maybe it will get better once it's more developed? I'm coping I know.

Hold on, let me get dressed before I watch the trailer:

Okay, all set!

Looks like it could be pretty good. The trailer doesn't reveal much, but it seems like they are taking a similar approach as Lies of P: a traditional but solid soulslike that sells itself on the immersion in a uniquely dark take on a classic story.

The trailer doesn’t reveal much

I thought the protag was walking around cheeks-out for a second there.

Those are certainly some certified Korean painted-on pants.

I mean I was already in, but that was just icing on the cake (if you will).

It's even a Korean Studio (Novaflare). I wonder where they got the idea from •ᴗ<

I'm decently interested.

Project Rabbit is an Extraction Soulslike Action RPG

What does "Extraction" mean in this context?

Also I wonder how pushed the multiplayer is gonna be? There is a couple of seconds of multiple player in the trailer near the end. The Steam page says "alone, or alongside your allies". Is this gonna be multiplayer, but you can technically play alone or you play alone and sometimes you team up. The language in the Steam page makes me think this gonna be hub based. I just hope it's actually designed areas and not randomized.

Memory: 16 MB RAM

Damn, that's an efficient modern game.

Never heard of "extraction" used outside of online shooters so... Maybe the multiplayer component is a central part of it? Never played that genre so idk....Perhaps a Nightreign situation? Or something like the upcoming Duskbloods?

[–] Sas@piefed.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 day ago

Maybe get pulled into the wonderland and have to extract out before madness takes over idk. So maybe nightreign ye

Alice in wonderland but it's asian?

Could be more interesting a souls like game in the visual style of mcgee's alice than another dark fantasy souls like
