Hey guys! As another little thank you to the community, I would like to give back to the community: I’m giving away a number of soulslikes and soulslike-adjacent titles (PC).
Here is what you can win (a choice of one per tier):
Tier 1 (1x winner):
- Lies of P (code)
- Enotria (code)
- Hollow Knight (code)
- Remnant 2 (code)
Tier 2 (2x winners):
- The Surge 1 & 2 Dual Pack (code)
- TUNIC (code)
- Code Vein Deluxe Edition (code)
- Ashen (code)
- Steel Rising (code)
- Nioh 1: Complete Edition (code)
Tier 3 (3x winners):
- Blasphemous (code)
- Blasphemous 2 (code)
- Death’s Door (code)
- Curse of the Dead Gods (Steam Gift)
- Tails of Iron (Steam Gift)
- Eldest Souls (Steam Gift)
All of these games are amazing and worth an entry if you haven’t played one of them for sure! Lies of P is definitely the standout here since it’s a very quality soulslike that can compete with the big FromSoft titles easily.
The giveaway will be open from when the post is live on 17th July 2026 to Wednesday 22nd July 10 pm CET.
What you need to do to participate:
-
Post a comment here. It can be anything you want. Have you heard of the games? Why would you like to play them? Anything, really.
-
You need to be subscribed to the community at the time of entering the giveaway (no minimum amount of time being subscribed).
-
You don’t need to be a Lemmy.Zip user. However, your account needs to have been created a day before this giveaway goes live (ie. on 16th July, roughly 24h ago).
-
You need to have a Steam account and be fine with adding me on Steam, so I can gift the game to you. Alternatively, you need to keep an eye on your DMs, so I can send you a key where applicable.
-
After the giveaway ends, ie. around 10 pm CET on 22nd July, please check the post again and be in your DMs if you’re pulled as a winner.
-
No regional restrictions.
Here’s how the giveaway works:
The giveaway will be handled by Zippy Bot ie. the winners will be pulled automatically. This means that at the end of the giveaway, I will lock the thread and Zippy will pull six random entries as winners. The six winners will be given a choice of a game from the specific category their name is pulled for (from top to bottom in order of names pulled).
Should you have your name pulled for a category in which you already have all the games, where applicable, you may get a game from another category, granted it is from a lower-tier category.
That should be all. Good luck to everyone!
I’ve wanted to play souls-like, but still haven’t jumped into the genre. Definitely throwing my name in the ring for this one.
What a G, let’s roll the dice! Lot of solid options
That’s pretty cool, there are definitely some cool titles here that I would be interested in
If I can I always play souls likes as a woman. I’m perfectly comfortable as a man, but dark souls 2 stole my gender.
Mind you, I didn’t know until I googled “coffin that shaves your facial hair” as before this I was playing as Mr cleans evil twin but from that point forward it’s buff bald ladies first, followed by elderly ladies if I sl1 the game or its equivalent.
Is this just visual preference or is it for speed purposes? 🤔
(iirc, the female body type reaches max run speed faster than the male body type in DS1-3)
I had no idea about this! Thanks!
Nah there’s a coffin in the game dark souls 2 that changes the player characters gender. I didn’t know that’s what it did until it was already done. I could have swapped back, but I thought it was fun. Played a girl since. With armour on the aesthetics are normally the same anybow.
Had no idea the female player model was quicker though. That is awesome
🔥💜
The best prize here is your friendship. 🫶
All great games. Most of them on my wishlist too. A friend recently showed me there’s a Seamless Coop mod in beta for Lies of P. A fun event could be held here someday thanks to that.
This is awesome, thanks for doing this! Events like this are a great way to grow the fediverse!
How does Blasphemous 2 compare to 1? I haven’t finished the first yet, but the platforming controls often put me off because they feel so rigid. Perhaps I’m just too used to 2D platformers having some movement leniency like coyote time.
I do really like the atmosphere and theme of the game, but boy is there a lot of platforming.
Blasphemous was my intro to soulslikes and I picked up Blasphemous 2 during the Summer Sale, but the rest look great!
I love remnant 2, but never really got into too many of the other souls like games. Tunic has been in my radar for a little while though! And lies of p.
Nice way to know some new games. I never heard of Eldest Souls, looks nice.
Not all of them are soulslikes in the strictest sense, but we apply the term loosely here in this community and allow for games to be discussed that “only” incorporate a couple soulslike mechanics here and there. From what I got, Eldest Soul is kind of a roguelike soulslike?
I already accept Iron Pinapple’s definition of souls like: anything that has a dodge button
Fair :D
Hope this doesn’t sound too greedy but I already have most of the games in tiers 2 and 3, so tier 1 is all I’m really interested in.
That’s not greedy - you’re just being transparent :)
Ok, glad it’s not an issue. Also, thanks for doing this!
I remember that hollow knight was the game that reignited my desire to play games. What an amazing game!
I hope this is the giveaway where i win something
The Blasphemous series is excellent!
I can heartily recommend hollow knight, I’ve spent many an hour playing that game, it has enormous depth and lore and the art-style is really unique :)
HK really is a gem among indie games. There’s a lot of amazing indies, but HK really stands out to me. They could have easily charged 40-70€ for Silksong and it still would have sold as well as it did. The fact that they stuck with a 20€ price tag is just such a chad move
I’ll give a try!
