Hi All,

I am looking for some Obscure/unknown soulslike/arpg games to try.

Recently discovered a underrated chinese ARPG from DOMO studios called Xuan-Yuan Sword VII (55% off on GOG atm).

Aside for some performance issues, it's a decent game.

I would say it's soulslike-ish because it has bondfires, typical souls like control scheme (R1+R2), posture bar mechanic (Sekiro).

I'd like to hear your suggestions/views on other obscure/unknown games you like.

Does it have to be 3d? If not there are 2d souls' titles, but they are definitely more adult in nature.
There's " Black Souls 1-2 ", and " The Heart of Darkness" with a google search :ninja:

Too add on, I personally thought The Heart of Darkness was more polished with play-ability for multiple runs.

Hellpoint is a favorite of mine. It's kinda like DOOM meets Souls. You're on a drifting space colony that's been overrun with demons after scientists accidentally opened a portal with an AI. It was developed by a couple of guys who worked on the first two Assassin's Creed titles. Mortal Shell and Remnant are a couple more good ones. If you want 2D, and maybe something a bit more lighthearted, I highly recommend Death's Door. If you want to go further down this path, I also recommend Morbid: The Seven Acolytes. It's kinda done in the style of a GBA game.

    I know the pricing of electronics nowadays isn't "how much it actually costs" but "how much we can get away with", but putting up a poll is just cynical.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Probably $150 someone said Anbernic said around the same price as rg556

    that game's engine is really fucking intensive so it runs like literal shit on xbox 360 and ps3
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Nah I'm getting value creep again. I look at a $50 console "but for just a few more dollars you could get XYZ" and I end up considering the Steam Deck.
  • Julie_Pilgrim @ Julie_Pilgrim:
    like the lighting in that game was genuinely so good
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Not getting dragged into that again.
  • Julie_Pilgrim @ Julie_Pilgrim:
    i dont get why they didn't port the one game that ran the worst on consoles, to pc
  • Julie_Pilgrim @ Julie_Pilgrim:
    like you port everything to pc except the one game where it would make the most sense. why. what do you gain from this
  • Julie_Pilgrim @ Julie_Pilgrim:
    is sega just personally fucking with me? are they laughing while watching me through my kinect camera as i get up to restart my xbox for the third time because the game froze again
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Buy handhelds from five below better quality
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Valve probably going to do another refresh of the deck this fall with rog ally like specs tbh
  • Veho @ Veho:
    A smaller form factor would be nice too.
