Ever since FromSoftware released Demon's Souls, there has been a sudden surge in the demand for similarly styled games that provide a satisfying challenge.
And when there’s demand, there’s bound to be products that try to fill that gap - and developers have risen to the call and offered their takes on the mechanics and themes found in the souls genre.
We call such games Soulslikes, and while there are a few popular options such as the likes of Nioh - there’s an equal number of not-so-popular options that also deserve some love from fans. With this feature, we will be running down 15 of the best Soulslikes that you probably didn’t play and detail what makes them tick.

Soulstice is a really great game that deserves some attention and love, but it's more an hack 'n' slash (closer to DMC and Bayonetta) than an actual Soulslike; it's very technical and challenging tho, so if you like to put yourself to the test Soulstice is the game fo you. Plus the inspiration to Berserk/Claymore makes it really cool

Steel-rising, even on the normal difficulty, is by far the easiest souls-like I've played. I've almost finished the game and I think I've died fewer than 10 times. If it's still too much, you can turn down enemy damage or how much stamina you use.

​@@MrJbinchrist the reason they don't is because that's not the game they are making. If you want an enjoyable game with little frustration, there are literally, and I mean this in the most literal term: MILLIONS of other games to play :) Gaming is a luxury. Not a necessity. For instance: I'm not asking for Animal Crossing games to add a "hard mode". I know the games are not made for me, it's made for people that enjoy that world and those mechanics and love relaxing while maintaining an island. It's okay for a game to just not be for you. There's no reason to demand games to change just because YOU want them to, that's selfish. If you want to enjoy the story of a particular game, KZfaq and Twitch exist with thousands of playthroughs of these types of games. Lastly: These games aren't hard. They have a specific challenge and all they ask is that you take the time and energy to invest in learning to over come that challenge. The only one holding back is yourself. People have finished Souls-like games blind, with their feet, with controllers that aren't made for them like the Donkey Kong Bongos, and even with Bananas hooked up to a Raspberry PI If you don't want to learn to overcome that challenge, that's fine! Nobody's forcing you to. Just let the game be and enjoy one of the other million games out there that does have what you specifically want in a game :)

The only decent soulslike I played in the last decade or so, were: the 2 Remnant games (even if the first one barely passed, and ONLY because of its sequel), Lords of the Fallen Remake (which was a wonderful surprise, since the original one was probably THE worst soulslike I ever played), and The Last Hero of Nostalgaia (probably my favourite one amongst these 4) ... All the other ones were utter crap, made by people who never really understood the concept of the original Souls games. (kinda like Dark Souls 2... I'm looking at you, Lies of P)

I'd really love to play a Soulslike with a more interesting system for magic than locking on and spamming the button. And definitely one that doesn't rely on timed parries being critical to create difficulty, which I've always found boring.
@blinkachu5275
@blinkachu5275 7 ай бұрын
as opposed to what, dodging or shielding? Timed parries are literally the BEST way to engage in such systems, as they require ACTIVE aggressive input, not just scurrying away or hiding behind a shield. It gives you a completely different mindset while playing the boss, taking way more risks instead of playing passive.
@nikidelvalle
@nikidelvalle 7 ай бұрын
@@blinkachu5275 As opposed to timing not being a critical component in the first place. You can have games be difficult through the focus on more mindful elements like strategy or buildcraft. Most Soulslikes are essentially rhythm games, it's rote and overdone and not something I particularly enjoyed to begin with. Though something more focused on dodging and general mobility would also be fun, luckily that's already something that exists with Nioh and Wo Long (games which also feature the only interesting use in timing in any of these soulslikes, since Ki Bursts enable consistent aggressive play and are also entirely within your own control, so you don't have to PASSIVELY wait for something to respond to... which to note timed parries are NOT an "active aggressive input", because they require you to respond to what the enemy does which requires you to WAIT). What magic systems in Soulslikes give you though are a more robust suite of options to control the situation, so you don't always feel like you're just responding. It's what makes the Jedi Order/Survivor duology so much more engaging to me than most Soulslikes, and it's really only scratching the surface of a Souslike that isn't focused on melee combat.
