Onimusha: Way of the Sword

Historical setting

Capcom's revival of Onimusha sends a samurai wielding the Oni Gauntlet through a demon-infested Edo-era Kyoto. Its core is weighty, precise swordplay built around timing-based counters and gory, cinematic presentation.

Steelrising

Historical setting

A soulslike set in revolutionary Paris of 1789, where you play the graceful automaton Aegis fighting the king's mechanical army. Alternate history, steampunk flavor and dodge-and-counter combat define it, with assist options making it more approachable.

Demon's Souls

Dark, serious atmosphere

The original Soulslike: you fight through the fog-cursed kingdom of Boletaria across brutal, interconnected stages full of traps and demons, where every death costs your souls and every victory feels earned. Asynchronous online touches like messages, bloodstains and invasions give the lonely journey a unique edge.

Valor Mortis

Historical setting

A first-person soulslike from the Ghostrunner team that casts you as a resurrected soldier of Napoleon's army. You fight horrifying monsters with blades, firearms and supernatural powers, in tense parry-driven combat set in a grim, twisted version of the Napoleonic era.

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.

Demon's Souls

Lavish presentation

This remake of the genre-founding classic sends you through fog-shrouded, bleak fantasy realms full of merciless enemies and punishing bosses. Modern visuals and fluid combat make the birth of the Soulslike feel fresh again.

Dark Souls: Remastered

Dark, serious atmosphere

The genre-defining Soulslike: a bleak, intricately interconnected world of punishing combat, hidden paths and bosses that demand patience and precise timing. The remaster adds sharper visuals and includes the Artorias of the Abyss expansion.
