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?
Friends:
Should you have any questions, please do let me know.

Peak Souls 2 back at it again
Enjoy, man! I made the grave mistake of spoiling the entire game to me via YouTube playthroughs, but I haven't watched a single thing about the DLC which I'm having a lot of fun with :)
I mean you can dual wield any two weapons in ER, you just don't get special attacks where you're using both at the same time if they're not of the same category. This is true of DS2, also. Not every single weapon combo gives you the power stance attacks (though it does have a lot and it's not limited to the same category).
This is one thing I actually quite loved about Lords of the Fallen over Fromsoft's games: everything combos together, and everything can be dual wielded with two hand animations. You want a dagger and a heavy fuck off hammer? You got it!
Interesting - didn't know that!
