What to consider
Summarized by AIDark Souls II fans want hard, atmospheric dark fantasy that tests resolve and rewards persistence. These picks all share the souls-like label but split up: Lords of the Fallen and Wo Long are the closest action RPGs, while The Last Hero of Nostalgaia, Mistfall Hunter and Lizards Must Die bend the formula.
A dark fantasy action RPG from the developers of Nioh, set in 184 AD during the Later Han Dynasty. You play a nameless militia soldier in chaotic China. Dark Souls II fans get a challenging souls-like with a different historical backdrop and a more hack-and-slash approach to combat.
Standout features
- Three Kingdoms setting
- Nameless militia soldier
- Hack-and-slash action RPG
A satirical action-adventure about the world of videogames collapsing into pixelation. The dark story is told with humor, and online co-op lets a friend come along. It is a way into souls-like combat for fans who also like a joke.
Standout features
- Videogame-world satire
- Online co-op
- Dark story setting
As a fabled Dark Crusader, you travel the realms of the living and the dead to stop the demon god Adyr's return. Colossal boss battles and fast, challenging combat should suit Dark Souls II fans, and online co-op is available in an interconnected world to explore.
Standout features
- Colossal boss battles
- Realms of living and dead
- Interconnected world
4. Mistfall Hunter
Best for players who want souls-like combat with extraction runs and other players.
104 votes
A third-person PvPvE extraction shooter with souls-like roots: you scavenge, fight and extract in a brutal cycle across a world where the gods have fallen. It has online co-op, and it replaces Dark Souls II's single-player trek with risky runs against other players.
Standout features
- PvPvE extraction
- Scavenge and extract loop
- Online co-op
A hack-and-slash souls-like against hordes of lizards, with a heroic tone and voice acting made with synthetic voice software. The art is deliberately low-polygon. It is a singleplayer game and far lighter in tone than Dark Souls II, so treat it as a quirky side dish.
Standout features
- Hordes of lizards
- Low-polygon 3D look
- Synthetic voice acting
