The Soulslike genre has flourished since its inception in the late 2000s. The genre is named for FromSoftware's Demon's Souls and Dark Souls titles and describes games that evoke their gameplay. Most Soulslikes are third-person action-RPGs with punishing difficulty, a melee combat focus, and certain design conventions.
