This game is currently in the Humble Choice for November 2022, this is part of my coverage of the bundle. If you are interested in the game and it's before December 6th, 2022, consider picking up the game as part of the current monthly bundle.
A Boss rush with Souls-like combat.
I don’t think Eldest Souls deserves a Souls-like comparison but the word is in the name of the game. Eldest Souls appears to be focused on exploring an interesting world and constantly running into bosses. I ended up getting stuck on the second boss but also enjoyed throwing myself at the extreme challenge that it provided. The music here is a bit loud but man, it gets you pumped as well.
The downside here is it’s not a Souls-like experience in that the only real gameplay is the bosses, so it’s more like a hard version of Shadows of The Colossus without the implied morality. The fast-paced combat is all about reading attack patterns and trying to survive long enough to see and learn the move sets of enemies.
Pick this up if you like challenging games. I enjoyed this quite a bit but the focus here reminds me of Furi, where players will have to play challenging battles over and over to beat each boss even as those bosses made me feel foolish after every loss. I spent almost fifty minutes on a single battle and still want to come back to get that win.
