From what I heard, most of the issues the game has(wonky level design, poor combat, limited weapons) are due to the devs planning a lot more than they could handle, and then needing to cut back like half of the content to ship the game on time.

I like to think its like running when it comes to the game's mechanics and fighting. Like an experienced Dark Souls player understands the core mechanics and can finish the game faster or die less from bosses and all, but those same players give themselves new challenges or PRs for the game. Dark Souls allows any player of any experience to create a challenge, but still complete it. A player with no experience even in RPGs let alone this style of RPG can still beat the game and even enjoy it. Like with running it sucks while doing it and you will get mad and want to give up, but you keep trying and when you finished it you are like "Hell yeah, I did it, now can I do it better?"

[@drunkenmuse]

Yeah this is an incredibly bullshit thing that happens too often now, people keep mistaking commonly used functionality or even combinations of them to originate from the game just because it also features them (and generally well implemented). Bonfires are another example of things people too often seem to attribute as something unique even in base functionality (save/restart/restart and sometimes fast travel point that's need to be found and activated) - when it's more a matter of mechanical and contextual implementation that makes it stand out in From games. If games don't have features that define Souls-series why even call it a souls-like? At least Rogue-likes and Rogue-lites generally make sense, because it's very specific functionality. I love getting recommendations as much as the next person, but it could use a much stricter definition imo.

That said, I would not call any Crash Bandicoot game I have seen a souls-like, so unless the new one is doing something I don't know about that sounds a little crazy. As for that one game. Most of the time it's users who tag games "souls-like", although some games talk about it in their advertising. If users call it that, they must see something. I dunno, I was not really paying attention during that bit, the game looked dull. There was dodge rolls and melee combat in a dark maze-like level though right? Depending on the combat, that is all it takes, throw in bonfires and you got a souls-like as far as most people think. That doesn't mean it's good.

@@Quandry1 Super Mario Bros 2 JP a Soulslike?

[@Quandry1]

@@no_nameyouknow People throw that onto their games as advertising to suck people in and get them buying. Often whether it's true or not. Soul's like has some certain characteristics or you might as well throw the whole term out (which I'm not entirely against) for Retro gaming to begin with. Partly because a lot of what the Soul's games do is retro to the point that to some of the older games things like Dark Souls Difficulty is not all that standout. neither is some of the clipping that some of the mobs do that was incidental in some older games but actually is intentional in some of the souls games purely to artificially ramp up difficulty and unpredictability. Nor is the respawning of enemies because some of those older games are actually worse about enemy respawns than a souls game is due to hardware limitations of the time. What makes a soul's Game a souls game. Is a Combination of a classic 3D action adventure style, Mixed with a bit of a varied combat/gear based system and most importantly a somewhat rogue-like "death is not the end" way of handling player death combined with a somewhat unique leveling system that influence each other to a fair extent based on the points spent. The problem is that more and more of the games that people call souls likes have little to none of these. It's a combination of these details that is important. Simply Being a 3d action style game with combat isn't enough. That existed way before the souls games and is not enough to narrow something down to souls like. The Atmosphere of the games often isn't even enough because without the story context to them the environments of Most Souls games are fairly generic. So you need to have a lot of the elements and more importantly some or prefferably most/all of the more unique mechanics systems in place to make it a souls like. true Souls-like games do not have to drastically mirror each other in appearance and feel in truth. Games like BloodBorne and Nioh which take a lot of the same concepts and leveling system and often the "death isn't the end" approach to your characters proves this quite well. This is true of some other "genre's" as well. If something is a metroid-vania. It has certain characteristics, mechanics, and play styles. Same with Rogue-likes. There are things that are distinct about them and there is not necessarily a lot of room for overlap. Even when there is some overlap there is often some key differences to the way they function to why they aren't the same. As is the case of some Rogue-likes and some Souls-like games. The key difference to whether one is the first or the second is in how they handle their specific "death is not the end" mechanic inherent to those kinds of games in the areas that they do overlap.

If you get covered in oil it significantly increases fire damage and basically guarantees that the next fire damage hit you take will cause "Burn" which drains health quickly but also destroys paper items and any ice fruit (it's a long story) in your inventory. I *promise* this is an awesome game.

It was stupid af, or the weapon I liked I would lose if I die and have to again go through the same location to get it and then waste time to go further into the game with the weapon I like.

[@serpentnu3047]

[@Dranem337]

Dark Devotion is a rogue-lite Souls-like game that, imo, succeeds where Death's Gambit fails. It has great pixel art (which DG also has), the combat is more precise, and the atmosphere is thick with death and despair, with a plot even more vague and aloof than the first Dark Souls

[@jesuswagon666]

I'm glad someone brought this game up

[@Lexsed]

Dark Devotion is a fantastic game, but honestly, the "souls-like" comparison end with stamina based combat, that's it, everything else is way different even to Death's Gambit and S&S. It has the Zelda/Binding of Isaac health system, the progression is only rogue-lite in a sense that you unlock passive traits and weapons. The entire premise of the game is you getting locked into a single route and going down it, there is no way to go back to the previous room/floor/etc it's just going down and keep going whiling deciding on your build along the way

[@AK-ek7lf]

Just recently finished it, great game but has a minimal souls element but overall has a great tone similar to souls atmosphere

[@Dranem337]

For sure the souls element is minimal. But I feel that's the case in a lot of souls-like games these days. The main traits being a stamina bar, difficult combat, and foreboding atmosphere. Let's call it a "souls-lite" rogue-lite then.
