Soulslike Games: Focusing on Intense Boss Battles and Their Growing Popularity
In recent times, Soulslike games, known for their challenging boss encounters, have become increasingly successful, with the standout achievement being Black Myth: Wukong last year.
Alongside these, online FPS games are also trending, particularly with the recent surge of interest in titles like Marvel Rivals and Rainbow Six Siege. Despite some minor issues related to the sporadic gameplay of titles like Concord and XDefiant, the core essence of the genre remains strong and vibrant.
What Happens When Developers Merge These Two Game Genres?
By combining these two genres, we are introduced to Covenant – a title that has yet to be released but is already capturing significant attention on Steam.
Developed by Legion Studio, Covenant is a first-person shooter with a dark fantasy Soulslike style set to launch soon. It combines fast-paced gameplay with the use of various weapons like swords and guns to fight against formidable foes. Alongside combat, players will explore expansive environments, face numerous enemies, and level up their abilities throughout the gameplay.
Through the latest trailer, players have gained a better understanding of this exciting bombshell. Covenant also seems to create a vast number of hidden pathways for players to explore, filled with numerous treasures within the game. While not much has been revealed about the core mechanics of this game, it is suggested that the weapons used in Covenant can unlock powerful abilities, though the game may lack the fluidity often found in traditional Soulslike experiences.
Currently, the game does not have a confirmed release date, but Covenant will feature a co-op system and PvP modes with various match types including 1v1, 2v2, or 3v3, where players will need to prove their skills in combat and movement dynamics.
