  • As I am sure I have said a hundred times - Elden Ring is so DAMN GOOD… with that said I have seen a lot of people asking if we have anything similar on the Nintendo Switch. We have a few great Souls-like choices available and here they are! Let me know what your favourite is! Hellpoint could/should have been on this list - just thought of it! Annoying! Haha. Mark

    Elden Ring is not only a great souls game but a great open world, you can choose which boss to take down, which path to take, finishing the game as quickly as possible or taking all the time of the world, with that idea I would recommend The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild as well, and it feels weirdly familiar with Dark Souls 1 except by the punish for die

      @viktorthevictor6240 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That kinda makes me wish dying in BOTW would send you back to the last Shrine/Tower you interacted with. Especially since you can pause the game at any time and heal up. Would force you to strategize more.

    • @rhovrox9291

      Sounds like a stupid idea. Games being open gives me anxiety because what if i am doing it wrong? what if i didn't pick up an equipment that was picked up by 90% of the players? what am i missing?
      i like dark souls better where its linear and i dont feel left behind. With that said, elden ring still deserves GOTY.

    • @ih_yt

      All about the player I guess. Platforming is typically more difficult for me too.
      If you’re having a hard time I’d recommend starting fresh or changing weapons, typically the hammer and great sword are good for smashing your obstacles.
      You can find a very strong hammer (the war hammer) in the early game in the sunken keep. And if you’re stuck on the dragon you need that hammer it gives him a serious headache.

    Great grouping of games and one of my favorite genres if Soulslike is an official genre. And don't worry about all the mixing and matching because it is hard to find a game these days that fits solely within just a single genre. I, myself, have Dark Souls, Death's Door, Blasphemous, Hollow Knight, Dead Cells, Morbid and the Animus games. Eldest Souls and Death's Gambit are on the Wish List. I suppose I truly like dying, its unfortunate that I am not used to it yet however.

    Awesome! I have Fury which I've played only a bit which is definitely different, challenging yet rewarding. I just have a bit of that feeling where I wish there was more in between with the bosses. But it's a boss type of game I suppose, that downtime and simplicity is just non existent. Hollow Knight I recently snagged on a sale and a lot of these I've heard of! Ashen is super tempting to me. I LOVED Remnant from the Ashes and have been curious about Chronos as well as all THQ Nordic since then- Darksiders as well. Great vid, keep up the creativity!

    @minecraftotalwar 2 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    like you guys said, in much ways dark souls is a metroidvania (more in line with metroid prime), because of the interconnected maze-like world, the ambiental storytelling, and the combat more focused on dodging. And not many people know that, and I think we (switch owners) should look forward to that, because it gives us hope that Metroid Prime 4 wil be as impactfull as Dark Souls has been. If you could, I ask kindly to you, Mark and Glen, to share this knowledge.

    Blasphemous is a little slow and takes a lot of patience to get into, but the artstyle and the fascinating Spanish cultural references make the experience worth it
    The pixel art is gorgeous and the architecture in some areas blew me away when I first discovered them
    While this may be controversial I also think it takes the best approach to world design out of any metroidvania I've ever played, it gives the player a lot of freedom to explore without becoming aimless because each area will always funnel you towards a boss fight, and said areas don't feel disconnected because the game always finds a way to link them back to the rest of the map, which is similar to Dark Souls 1

    Absolutely LOVING Elden Ring. My friend was over last night and forgot to bring his Xbox to play while I was on my PC so I threw him onto my Switch and recommended Dragon's Dogma just to itch that scratch for the evening.

  • @TetsuoIronMan
    @TetsuoIronMan 2 ปีที่แล้ว +18

    1700+ hours in Dark Souls I. Elden Ring is the first since DSI that’s captured that same magic for me. Nothing better than a souls-like. While Dragon’s Dogma may not quite fit the bill, I do feel like it has that dark fantasy feel, and definitely the replayability.

    • @minecraftotalwar

      It's not on this list but maybe look at Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight. It's definitely easier than Hollow Knight but still has that melancholy, all-hope-is-lost atmosphere.

  • @andrewtyrell4795
    @andrewtyrell4795 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    No list of games on Switch that are "like Dark Souls but" is complete without Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight. A metroidvania with that same melancholy, world gone bad atmosphere, dodge rolls, limited healing items that refill at checkpoints, enemies that will punish you for not paying attention, and some tough boss fights (Pardoner Fennel is a favorite of mine). It's relatively short at about 5-6 hours but it's fun and satisfying.
    On another note, the first Dark Souls definitely has metroidvania elements in its world design so it's no coincidence that several of these are full metroidvanias.

    @R0B1NG5 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I honestly have not even got around to the first Dark souls yet and I don't want to even think about Elden ring or these new souls inspired games until then. Dark souls has been on my steam wishlist for years but I was hoping for the switch magic to help me fit in the time to play it like it has for some other older ports I got around to on it these last few years. Maybe the next time its on sale I'll go for it.

Eldest Souls is my latest purchase and I am loving it.. only con: the text size is ridiculously small. Still need to get Death’s Door, which I believe is currently on sale, I think that’s gonna be my purchase of the week.

    When the switch itself has had sequel remasters and ports such as AssCreed 3/4 & Ezio collection, to the Excellent Crysis games, to the DMC’s 1+2+3 collection and more. Yet the switch still lacks DS 2 & 3. Bandai namco is just weird I guess, lol.

    I see you mentioned it in the comments, but Hellpoint is probably my second favorite Souls-like on Switch. Second after Dark Souls, and frankly if it weren't for the occasional frame or resolution drops and the crashiness in some areas, I might even consider it a tie with Dark Souls.
    They also have DLC coming out soon - AFAIK after the initial Elden Ring rush dies down.
