too many souls rip offs atm mortal shell is the only one that comes 70% close

Looks good but as every clone seems to never get right is what from software is great at, balance. If this game is balanced, it could be great. Hope it is. Fine line between challenging and fair, vs hard just to be hard and cheap. That’s really difficult to achieve.

Deathdeliverer1300d ago

Look up the Lies of P. I’m with you, but this game looks like theft done right 🤣.

Bathory6661300d ago

I saw that! Looks bad ass!! Just hope it’s balanced.

MadLad1300d ago

I'm highly looking forward to that one. Closest we'll get to more Bloodborne in a good while, if ever. So it seems, anyway.

"great at, balance"

I agree with that but I also believe no souls clones come anywhere near the atmosphere, environments and enemy designs either.

The lies of P however does look at least so far to nail the atmosphere. And if the combat is as good and hopefully as deep as it looked in the trailer then soulsaborne might finally have some real competition for a first time.

Looks ok. Doesn't seem like originality is a priority.

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.

GeeEssEff123d ago

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

Cacabunga123d ago

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

blackblades123d ago (Edited 123d ago )

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

anast122d ago

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

robtion123d ago

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

Goodguy01122d ago (Edited 122d 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.

robtion122d ago

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

qalpha122d ago

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

Nacho_Z122d ago

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