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've never been into Mecha, guns and the like, but relly like all of fromsofts titles I've tried in the soulsborne catalogue. Yesterdays thread about soulslike fatigue got me thinking in the other big franchise by FS.

So have you played it? What do you think of it? Is there something to love here for a soulsborne fan?

I haven't played it, but it seems pretty cool. I like my mech stuff, but I tend to like heavier and more grounded mechs. Armoured Core gameplay seems more like Ace Combat than Mechwarrior. Like... why do they even have legs? Certainly not for walking

The legs are for dropkicking the enemy mech at nearly Mach 1.

Also certain legs give you a higher initial jump height, which complements good boosters. Or you can just get rid of the legs and have tank treads.
