They chose the latter, and with that Code Vein was born. With the announcement from FromSoftware that Dark Souls III will be the final game for the series, publisher Bandai Namco is left with either having to publish Souls-likes from other developers or develop their own. It Wouldn’t Be a Souls-like Without a Challenging Boss Fight: Sekiro will feature bosses relative to the 16th century Japanese period, such as this Corrupted Monk with supernatural capabilities and a huge sword. As a shinobi, Sekiro is well-versed in stealth and certain areas of the game reward you for using stealth as a way to catch enemies off-guard. Stay in the Shadows: Sekiro features another component that is not found in other Souls-likes – stealth. New and Exciting Ways for Traversal: With the shinobi’s prosthetic arm, the player can traverse areas such as rooftops, adding a new layer of complexity and variety to the game.

The boss is surprisingly agile and has supernatural powers which allow him to cloud an area with smoke and appear out of nowhere, making it a good first taste of what is to be expected with the game’s full release. With the help of a busshi, a term for a Buddha sculptor, and being rechristened as Sekiro, or “the one-armed wolf”, the shinobi gets a prosthetic arm loaded with weapons and tools in order to assist him in his journey.īoss fights to watch out for: As the game is still in development, news regarding the bosses of the game is still scarce, but From has released a pre-release version which features the Corrupted Monk, a tall, imposing humanoid armed with a katana bigger than a normal man. The game focuses on a shinobi’s efforts to rescue his lord after the latter was kidnapped by an enemy clan, and take revenge upon them after they severed his arm and left him for dead. Sekiro’s story is set in a reimagined late 16th century period Japan, filled with otherworldly enemies in addition to various warring clans. Fans of the original Dark Souls who repeatedly died at the bridge/roof-way guarded by the two silver knight archers will rejoice at the fact that Sekiro offers more mobility than previous From games, while still retaining the challenging aspects of enemy and combat design. Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice lacks RPG elements, but the combat and its environmental design will heavily remind you of a Souls game, albeit with more leeway and freedom in your movement. Even after saying that their next game would not be a Souls game, FromSoftware and lead developer Hidetaka Miyazaki still can’t help themselves and ended up using Souls-like elements with one of the most anticipated games of 2019.
