No Rest for the Wicked

Fantasy setting

An isometric soulslike action RPG with weighty, deliberate melee combat, stamina management and loot-driven builds, wrapped in a gorgeous painterly dark fantasy style. Town building and co-op round out the grim adventure on the Isle of Sacra.

Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin

Action-packed real-time combat

A fast action RPG spin-off in the Final Fantasy universe with Soulslike influences: as Jack you fight through a grim reimagining of the original Final Fantasy using a deep job system, parry-based combat and optional co-op. Its melodramatic story is memorable and often enjoyed ironically.

Nioh 2

Action-packed real-time combat

Nioh 2 is a punishing samurai action RPG set in Sengoku-era Japan, where you play a half-Yokai and master stances, timing and supernatural powers. Its deep loot and build variety and fast, demanding combat make it a standout for Soulslike fans.

Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A fast-paced Soulslike from Team Ninja set in the collapsing Han Dynasty, where deflecting and countering define the combat rhythm. Demon-corrupted warlords and mythical beasts provide tough fights that can also be tackled in co-op.

Remnant: From the Ashes

Action-packed real-time combat

A Soulslike with guns, set in third person. You fight through procedurally assembled realms beyond portals and take on punishing bosses, ideally with up to two friends in co-op. It blends a post-apocalyptic Earth with alien fantasy worlds and rewards repeat runs with new weapons and secrets.

Salt and Sacrifice

Fantasy setting

A 2D soulslike where you play an Inquisitor hunting powerful mages across several regions and claiming their gear and abilities. Combat is demanding, builds are varied, and you can also play it cooperatively.

Bloodborne

Dark, serious atmosphere

A fast, aggressive Soulslike set in a gothic nightmare city, where you win by staying on the offensive instead of hiding behind a shield, and the story slowly turns into cosmic horror. Interlocking levels, brutal bosses and cryptic lore make it a genre landmark.

Ravenswatch

Fantasy setting

An action roguelike where you play as fallen heroes from folk tales and legends fighting an invading Nightmare. Each hero plays very differently, and it works solo or in online co-op.
