10 Upcoming 'Souls Like' Games To Play After Dark Souls 3

10. Ashen

A forlorn fantasy world, passive multiplayer and meticulous combat mechanics. Obviously, I'm not talking about Dark Souls but about Ashen, the open-world survival game coming to Xbox One and PC.

Proving that there's far more to this than Dark Souls emulation however, is Ashen's lovely cel-shaded visual style and, according to the developers, a focus on 'forging friendships', as you can unite with other people while exploring the sunless land. We don't know much yet about how character-levelling works yet, although the game has a survivalist focus as you need to eat and craft, while being aware of weather patterns that will affect gameplay.

Combat is stamina-based and requires patience and composure, much like Dark Souls. The devs have been open about the Souls inspiration, and are intent on creating an experience in which "one wrong move can cost you your life"...

... which is exactly what the Souls faithful want to hear!
