What are some other games with the Demon's Souls/Dark Souls aesthetic? The gloomy, hopeless atmosphere and the medievil/mythical beings (knights, dragons, undead, etc)
All I can think of is the Souls series, Diablo, and Castlevania

ICO is probably a better example, wide open spaces are rare in Souls, which SOTC is almost entirely made up of. ICO was a direct inspiration for Souls (especially the undead burg type areas) and exploring the castle you start to see how it all connects, much like shortcuts and stuff in Souls.
The gameplay is nothing alike, but the level design, atmosphere and vague storytelling are reminisant.

I would recommend the first Shadowman if you can deal with the annoying sound effects.
Eli Smith
The first Devil May Cry, maybe.
I haven't played a single Souls game yet because reasons

King's Field and Shadow Tower Abyss. Play them asap, they are like proto-Souls.
Nathan Cox
Did any of their first person PS2 games ever use a playable control scheme similar to modern FPS's?
Sebastian Turner
Yeah DMC1 is pretty spooky, good choice. Soulsfags could probably appreciate that one more than the other games in the series. DMC1 is special in atmosphere though, and still a pretty superb action game to this day.
Blake Smith
No, I remember Shadow Tower Abyss having more or less human controls.
Problem isn't even the way you control the character, but a slo-mo turning speed. Really takes some time to get used to it.
Hudson Hernandez
That too. But I just really hate moving the camera and character at the same time.
Ian Gomez
Don't let controls keep you away from playing them. They are really great RPGs.
I'm myself more a fan of a really minimalistic ICO-esque Demon's Souls atmosphere and KF4 totally nails it.
Michael Wood
bloodborne
Jack Sullivan
I have tried a few of them. Never could get into them due to the controls though. Which is a shame because otherwise there seemed pretty dope.
Jordan Brown
Anybody mention salt and sanctuary?
Josiah Martinez
You can try them on an emulator and fuck around with the controls to map the camera to the analog. That's what I did myself.
Anthony Torres
Tried it with Eternal Ring I think, and it just didn't work all that well since the game just isn't built with it in mind. It got a bit better but it was still a major pain in the ass to play it.
Mason Smith
Not exactly the same, but I think Drakengard 1, Nier & Nier Automata captured this dead world perfectly. Automata being closest.
Michael Scott
>odallus
no.
Isaac Martinez
Medievil PS1 actually.
Super underrated game and the primitive PS1 graphics actually add to what you are looking for. Don't play the remake though. Heard they botched it.
You just don't get good unique games like it anymore.
