      After...essentially doing that, here's what I think Dark Souls is: a game where you smack stuff with a sword, but that sword is made of cardboard and your armor is just a hologram. If you can somehow get past the smaller enemies, you get to fight the bosses...which will kill you if you go too far left. Also death. Many much death. I am unsure if the game follows any sort of story.

    As someone who initially bought Devil Slayer Raksasi when it was in early access and now that the game has been fully released, it's honestly a really good game! There's a lot of content in its roguelite style and the devs have constantly added in new areas, weapons, items, and bosses to keep every run feeling fresh. Truth be told, I still haven't properly beaten it. The gameplay style definitely feels more like Binding of Isaac than a souls game and I guess i'm just not used to it lol.

      Batman: Return of the Joker for Gameboy is a great example as well.
      While it probably doesn’t need both, mastery of the grappling hook allows you to play the game a bit differently, much like flying over entire levels in Super Mario World.
      And of course, wall jumps are always cool; gives the otherwise short game a bit of a NES Batman vibe. Definitely worth checking out for Batman side scrolling fans.

    Another Souls-like I found is "LET IT DIE" (yes all caps), a souls-like, Dungeon Crawler looter/gathering game.
    Essentially what your doing in the game is climb this city sized tower where the floors contents are randomized to a degree. You got the usual stuff with checkpoints along the way that function as shortcuts to this games version of the Nexus. When you think about the game it really is just a dungeon crawler game with a "quirky" (dark) look that just so happens to have a lot of Dark Souls mechanics like the fighting system and such but I have to say it’s not a copy, this game changed a lot of souls mechanics it has adopted. For example, if you die your character is basically gone and you have to make a new one, but its not like erasing a save, just this character. Then your dead character turns into an enemy where you died, called a hater, and attacks you with all of the stuff you had when you died. Of course you can kill your character and retrieve your stuff but an interesting thing is that your Hater can appear in other peoples games and if they are killed by your hater (which is not that uncommon because the hater has your stats and is somewhat like an Invader with a player Character controlled by a bot) you get the killed players stuff. It’s really interesting figuring all the mechanics out and there are a lot of them. My biggest complaints about the game are really the horrible microtransactions/premium things because of how heavily impactful to the game they are and how heavily they are shoved into your face at every turn and how hard it is to get into the game. Because there is so much going on in this game right from the start it gets very confusing and overwhelming very easily and it just keeps coming at you when you think you got it. It should be very apparent but it took me a long time to understand that this game is above all a gathering game. Going back constantly and not rushing through is the way to play this game so the Souls Mindset outside of battle is really detrimental to your experience and its easy for me at least to fall into this mindset because of the souls type movement, fighting system and other mechanics.

    If you get the chance I’d recommend souls knight on mobile, it’s completely free and isn’t much of a ripoff on any game but rather uses multiple ideas to make a game with great replay ability

    5:15 A starcraft's unit had an grappling hook. It was called "the herc" and he could jump to the enemy using a grappling hook and a kind of shootgun. It was too powerfull and it didn't pass the beta

    Fun fact: StarCraft 2 once had a terran unit called the HERC in the Legacy of the Void beta. Its special ability was a grappling hook and it made the unit completely broken :)
