[Discussion] Is Bleach: Dark Souls a good starting point for a Soulslike newcomer?

I'm new to Soulslikes and did some research. Apparently, this is the first Dark Souls game that was released for DS. The gameplay looks solid, but from what I've heard, the difficulty of Soulslikes is quite high plus I'm not sure if I'd be down for a DS title at that since the graphics would likely be pretty bad.

Have any of you guys played this? And will I be fine playing this as my first Soulslike?

Appreciate all your thoughts on this - hope I'm not breaking any rules ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐Ÿ˜Š

I don't know the answer to your question.... But if you are looking for an entry point into soulslikes... I would suggest Another Crabs Treasure. It's a great game and on the easier side of the difficulty spectrum.

In case it's actually a genuine question, "Dark Souls" โ‰  "Bleach: Dark Souls".

And hard to say which would be a good entry specifically, since these games are made to be hard.

I was just joking :D Take a look at my profile

Another Crab's Treasure would probably be my recommendation as well. Dark Souls 1 and Elden Ring would also be pretty high up, I think. DS1 because it's relatively easy compared to some of the later entries and more difficult games, and Elden Ring is probably the most approachable because of its open world and unlinear approach to gameplay.

Lies of P might also be good now that I think of it since it has difficulty options.
