Soulslike - Discussion, News, Memes
This is a community for discussion, news, and memes pertaining to the video game sub-genre "soulslike".
Given Lemmy's size, the definition of soulslike may be treated relatively loosely. While games like the numerous FromSoft titles, the recent Star Wars Jedi games, Lies of P, Nioh and similar games should be the focus, games that incorporate soulslike elements - like Hollow Knight and Blasphemous, for example - may also be discussed here.
Basic Lemmy-quette applies. Additionally, since flairs don't exist yet, please do make sure to include a marker to denote what game your post is about in square brackets for clarity's sake. An example could be:
[BB] This enemy is so difficult!
or
[DS1] Anyone struggling with the gargoyles?
Friends:
Should you have any questions, please do let me know.

If you're referring to the one in Elden Ring, they added finger rings to it.
I have no idea if that was the devs being cheeky or just coincidental.
Was that well received by the fans?
They kept it exactly the be in the others
Don't see why it wouldn't have been, it's almost identical otherwise.
The smaller differences actually seem to play into Elden Ring's lore, where the curved crossguard and spikes seem to evoke the symbol of the Elden Ring itself.
Zweihander is a part of Elden Ring rune itself... Peak lore
