Is there any FPS like Dark Souls

[table]

The closest my be Borderlands, but its not that hard. I can't think of any for the PC. Does anyone know?

[Elseworlds]

DOOM on the highest difficulty, maybe?

In terms of difficulty yes, but I wanted drops, RPG elements, farming, etc.

there aren't many fantasy fps, one would be dark messiah, which doesn't have much in common with dark souls but it's very very kewl (it's half life 2 in a fantasy setting basically)

maybe ..........Skyrim? *starts drinking bleach*

Fallout 4 survival mode. You got shooting, difficulty, limited saves, RPG stuff, rare drops, scavenging (like farming).

Maybe not the best suggestion but this is a rather unusual request.

It isn't all about difficulty though, and this game isn't that hard, all the difficulty comes from hard bosses and people like Polygon being bad at video games.

I think a shooter like Dark Souls would have not unfair, but punishing difficulty, exploration, Limited save spots, deep character customization, tons of different ways to build your character with different skills and weapons, a connected world to tie into with exploration, interesting characters, and a good lore.

Borderlands can be difficult on high difficulties, it rewards you for exploration, and even going into areas you didn't think you could access (I love rooftop hopping in Borderlands 2), limited save and respawn spots, the character customization and building isn't that deep, but there are 3 different skill trees? So maybe that's something? The world is connected, the characters are amazing, and the story I guess is pretty good?

With all those, I agree with OP, I think the closest game I can think of is Borderlands. Maybe set it on the highest difficulty, if there is one, I don't remember. If you want the multiplayer from Dark Souls, well sorry m8, but the closest I've ever seen to Dark Souls multiplayer is Watch_Dogs. With the invasion system. (Which is actually pretty fun. I like the stealth tailing missions, and the intensity of normal hacking, plus, you know, the online connection isn't total ass like in Dark Souls.)

This can actually be true with the right combat, enemy, animals, dragon, perks, etc.. overhaul mods. And it would even make Skyrim much harder than Dark Souls but probably still wouldn't give as much satisfaction in my opinion (still way more satisfying than vanilla Skyrim though).

There are even mods that decrease the amount of loot in the world and a weapon/armor degradation mod.

I hate to necro an old post, but it still shows up when googling Souls-Like FPS...
Yes, there is an FPS similar to Dark Souls in theme, difficulty and mechanics (although not all of them are present) called Nocturne in Yellow and it's been around since 2015.

DOOM with mods

Remnant from the Ashes was a fantastic game, if a little short. I enjoyed every step of the way.

"Dark Souls with guns"
DO NOT play the second one in COOP though, cause it's seriously broken.
Particularly the final boss.

And what is broken about last boss?
Last time I've played it people did not understand how mechanics of it works and were stupid enough to never search for answer
Most prefered to whine on forum

I have zero ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ clue how'd you translate Souls gameplay to FPS.

Dexter, if you played it COOP when it came out (dunno if they patched it in the last year, but it doesn't really matter) you would've known. It was a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ mess of a game, really.
Deadbubble, it's not that hard. Just look around for videos of gameplay from both games I mentioned and you'll easily understand.

I did and that is why I wrote what I wrote...
I was there Gandalf, when people did not understand how damage buff works and that onhit weapons are OP in this fight...

[Deadbubble]

None of those are fps....they're tps.

Yeah Dexter, you forgot just a simple detail: you can't really change your build with a snap of your fingers. It's just similar to Souls games, it takes a damn long ass time to completely change your build, and both me and my buddy were playing with the wrong build in the end...

But You can, one simple mod to make this fight so damn easy.
And You can switch it on the SPOT

even switching to unupgraded weapon made this fight so easy
