Soulslikes Don't Work in First-Person — Yet
Source ↗ 👁 1 💬 0
Now that I’ve spent some time fighting the plagued soldiers of Napoleon’s army in Valor Mortis, I’m not sold on its first-person Soulslike bona fides. The difficulty is there, as is the annoying “lose your XP on death” mechanic. But it doesn’t quite translate that distinct combat experience to first-person, and instead shows the limitations of such an endeavor.
