Five Games like Demon's Souls to Satisfy That Soulslike Craving

I've created a list of five Soulslike games that should scratch that very particular itch. The Dark Souls game and Bloodborne are obvious choices, but I'm going to step a bit off the beaten path and dig up some games that weren't made by From Software.

The 5 best games like Demon's Souls to satisfy that Soulslike craving are Dark Souls, Dark Souls 2, Dark Souls 3, Bloodborne, and Sekiro.

DVAcme1693d ago

Dude, I just cited this to my best friend VERBATIM 😆

UltraNova1693d ago

Mortal Shell is the closest thing to a From software game and I love it. Nioh a close second.

Weapon_of_choice1693d ago

Well said, the Armored Cores series were also great and had, for me, a Soul game feel to it AND the Moonlight saber.

Chriswheeler221694d ago

Salt and Sanctuary is awesome, very much 2d Dark Souls.

Hollow Knight absolutely isn't, definitely an unpopular opinion.

32froshes1694d ago

If what you're looking for is specifically "like Dark Souls but 2D," then Salt & Sanctuary is the better option for sure. I love Hollow Knight, but it has a completely different feel to it.

Chriswheeler221693d ago

Yeah, I'm not saying its a bad game. It just shouldn't be lumped into that souls like genre.

Vanfernal1693d ago

I'm with you on this one... Love Souls games... Couldn't get into Hollow Knight...

fitofficial1693d ago

Agreed. S&S is the best souls like platformer out there.

SyntheticForm1694d ago

Demon's Souls will be the first game I boot up on my PS5. I cannot wait to jump into this one. I've never played the original DS so this is totally fresh for me.

NEXUS-61693d ago (Edited 1693d ago )

You're in for a real treat, it was fantastic back when it released - now it looks genre defining.

It'll be my 2nd game - gotta give astro 10 or 15 minutes before DS.

I know once I start nothing else will get a look in until I've completed it.

Edit: The Vanguard in the thumbnail, during the trailer the smoke emanating from its eyes looked phenomenal.

SyntheticForm1693d ago

I've played all the Souls games with the exception of Demon's Souls and platted Bloodborne. I'm really looking forward to this one and I hear it's the most brutal in terms of difficulty.

I'll probably play around a bit with the UX myself before I get started, but I've made up my mind. Spider-Man will be next, as I preordered the bundle.

Storm231693d ago

I've never played a Souls game, this will be my first. So amped to give it a go. I'm not one to give up easily which I hear is very important for these games, haha. So excited for PS5!

Doomeduk1693d ago

"I'm not one to give up easily"
Remember that chap when your playing :)
I've played bloodborne on and off but last night was the first time I've thrown a pad down
Have to kill a hunter for eileen the crow, he had no health left so I threw all I knew out of the window and launched an attack, he parried me then K. O me
On another level of frustration these games are
Atb

TitaniumExposed_VIP1692d ago

Good knowledge to have on a fresh start is to pay attention to the enemies animation and dodge/parry in the last second so the i-frames can save you, (play with light armor because "fat roll" has less i-frames and will fail you more often than not, the extra defense of heavy armor is not worth it) and lastly never get too greedy with your attacks when attacking the powerful ones. (no button mash)
These games are really not that hard once you mastered them. Good luck.

fitofficial1693d ago

I'm OG Demon's Souls and have been waiting for this for a decade. You won't be disappointed!

MajorLazer1693d ago (Edited 1693d ago )

Demon's Souls was my first love too and it'll always be my favourite. Literally buying a PS5 and a new 4K TV just for Demon's Souls.

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.

GeeEssEff121d ago

The term “Soulslike” has become ridiculously diluted. I have seen it used for games just because they are difficult.

Cacabunga121d ago

Reminds me of Doom like back in the days for every FPS game

blackblades121d ago (Edited 121d ago )

Yeah, souls, souls lite, souls like same goes for rogue.

anast120d ago

It's either AI or the writer doesn't know the subject matter.

robtion121d ago

I've played all of these bar the Crab one so not a very accurate title.

Goodguy01121d ago (Edited 121d ago )

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.

robtion120d ago

Yes Nioh 2 in particular is great. Also Wo Long (which is basically Nioh 3).

qalpha120d ago

Should have included 'Lies of P'. Seriously fun game.

Nacho_Z120d ago

That's what I was going to say, great game. Best non From Soulslike I've played.

Let the COD on GamePass experiment begin!
I would think their quarterly revenue will take a hit compared to a year ago, but will maybe make up for it throughout the year as the monthly GP subs keep coming in

pwnmaster3000239d ago

Was up with call of duty man?
I downloaded cod on gamepass and for some reason I cannot access the game.

darthv72239d ago

just curious what version? There are some that you can pre-load, but they wont work until their release date later this month.

pwnmaster3000239d ago

I have to redownload it again for the 3rd time to check.
I ended up just deleting it to make room for other games after the second time.

It was on Xbox game pass, I didn’t know there was other versions. I just downloaded everything, but sadly I couldn’t even access the game. Maybe 3rd time the charm. I’ll download it again.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH239d ago

It’s not out yet man unless you’re talking about MW3.

pwnmaster3000239d ago

I’m talking about mw3. For some reason I could not get it to work.

just_looken239d ago

On xbox there is the last gen/current gen versions pc though you could also get a xbox version.

When that new forza first came out for one day they had the xbox version on the pc store i was like ? what it was odd.

On xbox you can easily download the one version of a game instead of the series version so you run into issues on your series console.

pwnmaster3000238d ago

Because a game won’t run after I download it??
Man your kids must hate your @ss if that’s how you think.

It's going to be very interesting to follow up on how the new entry of CoD will perform at the box office, player numbers and distribution of Xbox, PC and PS versions this year.

DivineHand125239d ago

I got excited thinking they ported StarCraft to consoles but it's just the PC version. Also, I thought Starcraft 2 was already free to play.

TheColbertinator238d ago

I'm certain it is going to be the Campaign Collection version.
