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?

If you mean Night Reign: It does have single player. It's "multiplayer only" in the sense that even in single player, you will have NPC cooperators.

Vaati has a video detailing the game from his time in the playtest.

I didn't know that - that's reasso. No, I meant Duskbloods. Given its apparent PvPvE nature, I'm wondering if the game will be playable exclusively online as kind of a life service title or not

I didn't watch the Nintendo thing so this is the first even hearing of Duskbloods, but after seeing the trailer... It looks like Nightreign, but for Bloodborne's world instead of Elden Ring.

I was already on the fence with Nightreign, but seeing them working on two things simultaneously that look so similar and have the same PvPvE gimmick is cause for concern.

Neightreign is only PvE, not PvPvE.

I also think both these games are smaller projects, especially Nightreign. I wouldn't expect these to replace traditional souls games.

Let's hope they don't. Kind of weird that two such projects are announced back to back
