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 what would you like a potential second DLC for Elden Ring to be about? (lemmy.zip)

I'm back to playing League, Hunt Showdown, and Slay the Spire 2 - no soulslikes on my plate right now.

Shadow of the Erdtree was undoubtedly a huge success and it added a lot to the game that fans desired. New mechanics were added, a more dark and mysterious vibe came to be, and a lot of new bosses entered the pantheon of best soulslike bosses. Given the DLC's success, coming with another DLC for the game would probably be received quite well by fans.

What would you like such a DLC to look like? What locations and bits of lore are left unexplored? Characters you could imagine showing up (again)?

Let me know!

Shoutouts to @Skua@kbin.earth for the discussion suggestion! 💜 :)

I hear you, especially the part about open-world fatigue as we've also talked about at some point iirc. Good on you for squeezing every bit of game out of it tho! Unless you're not enjoying your time, that is.

Alright alright, I'll let you cook :D I've played Death Howl for a couple hours and enjoyed my time quite a bit, actually. It was a little difficult at times, so I didn't pick it back up again, but it's a really good combination of games I've played before and loved. It's like a mix of Inscryption, Dark Souls, and Into the Breach: quite a wild mix, but it works! Haven't heard of Withering Rooms before, though. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts if that was your plan. :)

Death Howl looks amazing but hearing it's that hard makes me little hesitant. I've also heard that it can be a little grindy. But it looks like such a wonderful work of art that I couldn't resist buying it. I hope I can manage.

Withering Rooms is a game I've had my eye on for ages but have been trying to wait for a deep sale on. But it has never been below 20% and so when it was 30% off just now I finally snapped. I've heard some really amazing things about it, it has some dodge-based combat that should appeal to souls fans, as should the vibe and storytelling. And I didn't want to keep postponing it because the sequel is supposed to come out later this year so it would be nice to play through it before then.
