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?

It's counted as a separate game from Elden Ring proper rather than another DLC part of the main game. The thing is that, the intention is built for 3 players rather than solo: but can it be played singleplayer or not? Besides that, are there any differences between this game and actual Elden Ring (apart from the UI)?

I love all Fromsoft games but Nightreign has become my favorite. To me, the roguelite angle ‘solves’ a lot of the small issues that arpgs have. I could go on and on but there is already a lot of info out there.

All I’d recommend is to definitely play three-player runs, even with randos if you have to. That’s the best way to learn pathing and other important strategies. Of course there are plenty of shits out there but the vast majority of co-op experiences I have had in Nightreign have been great.
