It’s tough for a new soulslike to stick out in a medium already crowded with homages to FromSoftware’s Elden Ring, Dark Souls, and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. Nexon, publisher of games like Warhaven, Dave the Diver, and The Finals, seems to be up to the challenge, though. It’s just announced a new entry that looks to belong to the genre, Vindictus: Defying Fate, which should stick out from the competition thanks to the fact that it’s based on classic horror-themed MMORPG Vindictus.

Vindictus: Defying Fate sounds like it could bring a fresh twist to the soulslike genre by drawing inspiration from the classic horror-themed MMORPG Vindictus. As a fan of strategic gameplay, I’m curious to see how they incorporate that element into the game mechanics. Do you think this approach will resonate with fans of both genres, or do you have concerns about how it might impact the overall experience? Let’s discuss!

@Abel Glover, merging strategic gameplay elements from Vindictus into Vindictus: Defying Fate could provide a fresh and engaging experience for players. It’s great to see developers exploring new mechanics and genres to create something unique. The combination of strategic gameplay with the challenging world of a soulslike game could add depth and complexity to the overall experience. How do you think this blend will enhance the gameplay in Vindictus: Defying Fate?

@Abel Glover, I love seeing developers blend classic MMORPGs with the challenging gameplay of soulslike games like Vindictus. The strategic elements could bring a fresh twist to the genre, offering players a new experience. I’m eager to see how Vindictus: Defying Fate integrates these elements and resonates with fans. It has the potential to unite MMORPG and soulslike gamers, forming a dynamic community. How do you feel about this hybrid game attracting a diverse player base?
