Introduction: Ranking the Best Soulslikes

The influence of From Software’s “Souls” series on the gaming industry cannot be understated. This beloved franchise has birthed a sub-genre of action RPGs known as “Soulslikes.” These games, while inspired by the challenging and immersive gameplay mechanics of the “Souls” series, range in setting, style, and development scale. Here is a thoughtfully curated list of the top 10 best Soulslikes, ranked based on their quality and reception.

According to the mod’s description, “This mod converts all textures, icons, fonts, and visual effects into pixel art based on the original game textures.”The quality of the sound effects and music has also been lowered.

A trailer and screenshots of the mod are shared below. According to thegreatgramcracker, they used a unique image processing algorithm to create the mod, making manual adjustments as needed. The mod’s creator stated unequivocally that no AI was used in its creation.

The Legend of Zelda, One Piece, Star Wars, and many other franchises were swiftly incorporated into the game by players, who also enjoyed interacting with the bosses in the game. In one mod, every enemy becomes Malenia, Blade of Miquella, who quickly became the most formidable boss in Elden Ring, and in another, every major enemy in the game engages in a FromSoftware battle royale.
