THIS IS A SOULS LIKE!!!!

[mitalieneekaan]

This is a souls like, the small differences do not make this an action hack and slash. its way more akin to something like nioh or whatever.... i get they wanted this game to sell so they weren't honest about the difficulty level and did not market the game how it really is but come on!!! This is nothing like god of war or something like that.... its a souls like game with too many bosses.... cant even refund cos the game really picks up after the 2h mark...

It is a soulslike.
Most probably....The devs only deny it because they don't want to admit they were inspired by From Soft.... which is a Japanese company.

I still like this game xD

The bosses are getting harder
But they become easier.

Let me explain
When I fought the tiger in chapter 2 I died 15 times. Then I decided to play only defensively and dodge everything. The time I beat him he didn't get me once.
All bosses after that felt much easier because I wasn't attacking blindly.

Then along chapter 4 I finally understood what "seeing through" attacks meant. And the game suddenly dropped a difficulty again.

And in chapter 5 I started using magic more. Found ways to abuse mist step and immobilize. Mist step is actually very overpowered. And immobilize as a defensive tool is extremely strong.

Pluck of many (shadowclones) can cast immobilize as well... which makes nearly every boss fight super easy xD


The bosses are getting harder
But at the same time, they're getting much easier because you grow as well.

sigh, i was looking for a casual third person action game. i have played souls like games and completed dark souls 1-3. lies of p and remnant 1 and 2. i wasn't looking for this hard of an experience at the moment.... i guess i keep playing anyways... maybe ill grind to 30 or something idk

[MxWu1337-bilibili]

You're hard-core xD
I frustrate easily so I'm staying away from souls games and soulslike games..... normally.
But yeah... I'm playing black myth because I'm chinese -_-

Still... I find it manageable.

Just keep at it. I also had a very hard time. But like one poster said, as we learn to play and get more skills it does become easier in a way as well. I admit I was slow to learn and did not even use those resoolute strike and skyfall combo till later in chapter 2 lol. It really made a difference in a lot of bosses.

have you not played one?
there's an entire ecosystem that makes a soulslike a soulslike, for example, beyond combat, the fact that you can rest at certain rest points, and in doing so, replenishes your health but also respawns all enemies in the zone.
combat style does not define what a souls like is.
there are souls like with firearm combat, some with melee only.
just stop yourself in your tracks.

I'll just say it once.
"Souls" in souls-like refer to the "souls" mechanic, not the difficulty.

It's about acquiring "souls" to spend as XP or for items and lost upon death but recoverable.

Demon Souls is a Souls.
The Dark Souls are Souls.
Lie of P is a Souls. (Easy game)
Sekiro is not a Souls (as stated by FromSoft, it only shares action with the Souls)
Wukong is not very obviously not a Souls.

That should not be too difficult to understand but I know I tend to overestimate people.

used to play tekken tag tournament 2 back in the day, my friend actually was at the national level in my country. apparently won couples rounds against jdcr. didn't won the match though and everyone wanted to play him when he was here so he didnt have a rematch. tekken 8 might actually be a good pick.
