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!

It would be quite fun to take the "help other players with bosses" covenants in a different direction, I think. Many of the bosses you'd be summoned for are representatives of the Golden Order in one way or another. If we can become Godskins or Black Knives, they've already got track records of going after the big figures of the Order

I really like that line of thought.
