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] Which Soulslike will you be playing this weekend and do you have any Soulslike-themed tattoos? (lemmy.zip)

I was thinking about starting Dark Souls again since my last save got deleted. I'd probably play on PC this time around for convenience. Maybe I'll get to it this weekend. :)

I've got two tattoos and both are kinda related to soulslikes. The first one are two koi fish circling a sunflower against a backdrop of waves. While not originally intended as such, I do love Sekiro a lot, so the koi also represent the big carp in Sekiro who's just really cool.

My second tattoo is quite clearly inspired by soulslikes. It's a blue butterfly with two white lilies under and over it. The butterfly is in reference to the butterflies found in Lies of P as well as a direct nod to Sophia while the white lilies can be found in Gehrman's boss arena in Bloodborne. Love both games, so I was looking for a way to incorporate them both into one tattoo.

Do you have any Soulslike-inspired tattoos? Would you like to share if you do?

Ugh, and I started as a cleric, which is just weak until you find the Lightning spell, so you lose to gank squads from the tiniest mistakes (aggroing more than one at a time usually).

The mace at least is a surprisingly strong weapon.

At some point they nerfed lightning, sadly. It used to have a lot more casts
