"It is often said that imitation is the highest form of flattery. If this is true, the folks at From Software must be fanning themselves like a Victorian lady in search of a fainting couch, because Salt and Sanctuary is an unashamed imitation of Dark Souls. In fact, licensing aside, it essentially is a Souls game. Of course, Salt and Sanctuary is not the first game to copy the formula established by From Software, but where others have become mired in being too much like Dark Souls, Salt and Sanctuary strikes out in new, interesting directions and successfully transposes the Souls style onto a 2D action-platformer."
These are some of the greatest games similar to Blasphemous to play while waiting for the much-anticipated Blasphemous 2.
Humble Bundle has a new bundle packed with a bunch of Soulslike games. It has games like Mortal Shell, Salt and Sanctuary, and more. As always, a percentage of profits from the bundle go to charity.
Who knew that the unassuming 2008 title Demon’s Souls would wind up innovating an entirely new subgenre of games? Since FromSoftware released Demon’s Souls and the equally influential Dark Souls series, “Soulslike” games have attracted gamers looking for challenging gameplay, deep character building, and worlds steeped in lore. Here are 10 of the most underrated Soulslike games available now.
I honestly could not understand how one can make a 2d Dark Souls. So I bought it and it is AMAZING. Not kidding...it is just as amazing as DS games, but credit should still go to FromSoftware who inspired the imitation. I hope they make sequels for this. I can't get enough of the Souls games.
