There’s a deep sense of familiarity within the game, calling back to beloved FromSoftware games like Dark Souls and Bloodborne. However, there are distinctive twists in this dark and foreboding game.
Developer Cold Symmetry is a smaller team, but despite their size, they show a clear understanding of what a Soulsborne game needs to be. Mortal Shell knows exactly what it is and doesn’t relent on its mission to replicate the popular games in the genre -- though it’s what it does differently that makes it stand out as a unique experience."
The Epic Games Store's weekly freebies includes an RPG and some DLC.
Soulslikes are punishingly difficult but amongst the most compelling games. Power Up Gaming goes through the top ten Soulslikes you're likely not playing.
Demon's Souls isn't Soulslike. It's the original Souls game. WTF? And Elden Ring?
Another Crab's Treasure simply is not.
All the journos claiming things are "Soulslike" simply don't know what that word means.
The term “Soulslike” has become ridiculously diluted. I have seen it used for games just because they are difficult.
Nioh 1+2 imo are the best souls clone. Love the melee combat and ki system, really hoping team ninja doesn't abandon the IP and continue with a new title, hell just give us your take on the western fantasy setting for a new nioh game.
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.
