Mortal Shell Open Beta; Beyond Soulsborne

Souls‘ fans delight; the Mortal Shell Beta is open to all. With now over a year since FromSoft first teased Elden Ring (dare only to whisper the name lest the project disappears completely), and with no firm release date on the Demon Souls reboot, it seems our collective, insatiable appetite for digital masochism may be satisfied sooner than expected. And all this from just a handful of developers.

Not hating on this game, I hope it's great. But so far every "Soulslike" game I've played is trying to be a Souls game with some gimmick and just misses the mark. As if they can't quite capture what makes a Soulsborne game great.

DarXyde2067d ago

I don't disagree with that.

I think the one game people seem to like that I really don't is Lords of the Fallen. Couldn't get into that game at all.

There are a lot of Souls veterans who liked what they saw. It has the makings of a great game, but we really do have to wait and see. The environments look great, but they do need different locales to explore apart from barren landscapes or dungeons.

Immortal unchained
Lords of fallen
Surge 1 n 2
Nioh 1 n 2
Remnant from ashes
All amazing souls games

DROPBOMBSONMOMS2066d ago

played it and enjoyed everything about it. I've played bloodborne, nioh 1 & 2, dark souls, etc. and the atmosphere, of those games, can be found here. Definitely worth a try.

Those are the type of articles that kills a game even before it releases...

Demon's Souls isn't Soulslike. It's the original Souls game. WTF? And Elden Ring?

Another Crab's Treasure simply is not.

All the journos claiming things are "Soulslike" simply don't know what that word means.

GeeEssEff389d ago

The term “Soulslike” has become ridiculously diluted. I have seen it used for games just because they are difficult.

Cacabunga389d ago

Reminds me of Doom like back in the days for every FPS game

blackblades388d ago (Edited 388d ago )

Yeah, souls, souls lite, souls like same goes for rogue.

anast388d ago

It's either AI or the writer doesn't know the subject matter.

robtion388d ago

I've played all of these bar the Crab one so not a very accurate title.

Goodguy01388d ago (Edited 388d ago )

Nioh 1+2 imo are the best souls clone. Love the melee combat and ki system, really hoping team ninja doesn't abandon the IP and continue with a new title, hell just give us your take on the western fantasy setting for a new nioh game.

robtion388d ago

Yes Nioh 2 in particular is great. Also Wo Long (which is basically Nioh 3).

qalpha388d ago

Should have included 'Lies of P'. Seriously fun game.

Nacho_Z388d ago

That's what I was going to say, great game. Best non From Soulslike I've played.

jznrpg83d ago

Lies of P and Wuchang Fallen Feathers are best soulsikes to me. I slightly prefer Wuchang ut they’re both awesome. I’d say Black Myth Wukong too but it’s a little more action than most souls games but it could fit in there as well.
