It promises fast-paced, hack-and-slash action and a deep progression system against a uniquely sinister backdrop, with a story players must piece together themselves.

It doesnt mean well never see another dreary action RPG in trademark FromSoftware style they are working on something new, after all.

Some feature satisfying, precision-based combat systems while others prioritize RPG skill trees and upgrades most have some intricate, mystery-laden tale to tell and, sometimes, huge, mysterious worlds ripe for exploration.

But if youve accepted the end of the series and are looking for something to fill the void, there are a ton of great games out now (and some exciting ones on the horizon) that every Dark Souls fan should check out.

IGNs recent preview of Blasphemous praised its moody and foreboding atmosphere and dark world-building.

Ashen features both a dangerous, dreary world inspired by The Road and emergent storytelling inspired by DayZs unpredictable and hostile multiplayer.

IGNs review of Ashen called it a very good take on the formula that delivers satisfying, strategic combat and progression that rewards careful play.

Theres a lot more to Dark Souls than its combat, so naturally that isnt the only thing Dark Souls fans look for when we want to play a similar game.

Exploration, tension, mystery, the feeling of overcoming challenges in a hostile world and the reward of making just inches of progress at a time all things Dark Souls and Rain World have in common.

Rain World is brutal and scary, and it refuses to hold your hand, making every discovery that much more exciting.

Rain World will definitely test the patience of players who dont enjoy that kind of experience, but for those that love the feeling of getting lost in a dangerous, but beautiful game world, Rain World is for you.

Still in development, Eitr is an isometric action RPG set in a world inspired by Norse mythology.

It has the look and feel of old-school isometric dungeon crawlers with a more modern edge, with highly detailed pixel art and gorgeous lighting.

If youre looking for something less dark, Dead Cells offers a fresh and colorful take on the Souls-inspired metroidvania.

IGNs review of Dead Cells called it a triumphant union of instinct, forethought, fun, and failure.

With a dangerous, dreary world inspired by The Road and emergent storytelling inspired by DayZs unpredictable and hostile multiplayer, Ashen is sure to appeal to players who prefer their adventures sad and unforgiving.
