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?

Though I didn’t struggle all too much with Allant, really. I think got him like 3rd try or so. He’s the only boss in the game that felt like a “classic” standard souls boss and not like a gimmick, so I got into it rather easily.

Agreed, he did feel like a proper boss. My struggle was with getting back to him and dying to the dragonfire and regular enemies on the staircase lol.

Penetrator was also pretty easy but a cool fight overall.

Coolest boss in the game, but disappointingly easy.

Oh yea, Maiden Astraea was also annoying because her anointed knight was more of a annoy-ntet (heh) knight. Got parried all the time and they dealt way too much damage.

It was an annoying gimmick, but I still liked it. Just a cool idea overall.

Maybe I should go back for another run sometime?

Absolutely. If you didn't play with sorcery before, I recommend trying it out.

I'll have to see if I can snag a cheap copy somewhere. Played it on Extra a couple years ago and I don't have any desire to resubscribe any time soon. Too much of a money sink for little payoff for me
