In this video, we’ll take a look at the Top 10 Soulslikes to Play While You Wait for Elden Ring. This list includes old and new titles that have been greatly inspired by the Dark Souls series in terms of combat, depth, and difficulty. These are widely available on most modern systems and consoles.
Soulslike is a subgenre of action RPGs that are heavily inspired by the mechanics of Demon’s Souls and the Dark Souls Series. Both games focus on Stamina-based Combat that rely on skill-based tactics rather than stats to defeat challenging enemies and bosses. Every swing of a Weapon as well as every dodge or sprint reduces stamina, making timing essential. Death isn’t the end.
