So after CO Expedition 33 I am craving a game with a good block and parry system. Since I am not aware of a turn based game with the same satisfaction that COE33 gave me (tough I am open for suggestions), I am now looking for a game with great satisfying combat. You know, the clang, swoosh, ENDORPHIN kinda combat.

Since its summer and my living room is bright as fuck for most of the day I simply dont want to play a dark, gritty depressing game like Souls, Elden Ring, Lies of P, etc.

I would play Stellar Blade, but ehhh 80 bucks for a 20 hour game is just a little bit too much (repeat playthroughs don't count).

Sekiro seems ok, but might just be a bit too frustrating at times. I just dont have the time to get really deep into the combat, I can only play a few hours per week tops.

So yeah, looking for a stylish, satisfying, life affirming action RPG kinda game (already played the devil may cries and MGS Revengance, since these are going to be mentioned for sure )

Another Crab's Treasure. Recently platinumed it, great game.

One day I would love to see the Kingdom Hearts of Soulslikes.

Not necessarily the famous cameo/crossover stuff, but the mixture of cartoon lightheartedness combined with a serious anime plot, all while being bright and colorful.

It could even try to replicate the PS2 games' graphics rather than the PS4 one.

Kena: Bridge of Spirits is one, but as others have said, Another Crab's Treasure is exactly what you are looking for. It's made specifically to be a cheerful soulslike.

 

[CuteFaceJay]

NO, That's why they are called Soul's like because they Depress the soul....

 

[Kenneth Haight]

Sekiro and Star Wars are very good as some gaffers mentioned above. High praise from our commander in chief for another crabs treasure as well, I had heard this was pretty janky but I must check it out if it is good enough for a platinum run through!

I remember seeing that game Enotria, the last song and was meant to be a "daytime" souls game. I don't think it was very good though. No personal experience.

Kena may look colorful but it's pretty grim game

Kena soulslike? Then Beyond Good Evil and Zelda are nowadays also considered soulslikes?

Gran Tursimo is and has always been a souls-like. Same as Super Mario Sunshine and Mario game after it. And I know people hate it when I say it, but it's the truth and they end up agreeing, but Myst and Riven were peak souls-like

 

[ShaiKhulud1989]

Rise of Ronin. It's quite interesting, realistic and hardly grimdark.

 

[Signalis]

Code Vein comes to mind. I mean it's kind of depressing but just drink some meds and it will be less depressing. Game has nice titties though

 

[IAmRei]

if You have Nintendo Switch, try BoTW or ToTK, the feel of parrying and counter is satisfying.

 

[DragonNCM]

It is not ?

 

[T-Barbs]

Please check this out. Not really a souls like, but possibly even more than that.

Its free to play on PS and PC.
