ActiveSoulslikes: Dark, Punishing Games
A place we can discuss, review or ask for help with 'Soulslike/lite genre, or any FromSoftware title. Defining a 'Soulslike' is hard, due to genres changing and evolving. Some identifiers to look out for- Combat with no animation cancelling, with a focus on dodging or parrying and managing your stamina. Bonfire style checkpoints, interconnected level designs & limited healing. If you think the Mods allow/ban a game incorrectly, please use the modmail to tell us why.
