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'm not great at a lot of the Soulslikes but there are some I really got into, like I went through Death's Door with the umbrella challenge and had fun the whole time.

    Anyway, thanks for putting this together. Here's some sumo wrestlers:

    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)

    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

    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.

    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 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

    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.

    The only one I don't already own and haven't even played is Entoria. And I only haven't played it because a few posts about it here made it sound kinda not good. 🤣

    Now here's a slew of games to add to my wishlist, I don't think I own a single one of these.

    I have been going through with completing all the soulsborne games, and I've been having a great time, so I can only presume that I'd like most soul-adjacents too

    Game What is it? Heard of it? Notes
    Lies of P 3rd Person Action ☑️ (played) This game is fantastic. It really feels like a Souls game.
    Enotria: The Last Song 3rd Person Action ☑️
    Hollow Knight 2D Metroidvania ☑️ (I own it) For years I've planned to play it soon™
    Remnant 2 3rd Person Shooter (co-op focus) ☑️
    The Surge 1 & 2 Dual Pack 3rd Person Action ☑️
    TUNIC Isometric top-down, Puzzle ☑️ !!! This one is intriguing … I will at some point definitely play it.
    Code Vein Deluxe Edition 3rd Person Action (~Anime) ☑️
    Ashen 3rd Person Action (co-op) ✖️
    Steelrising 3rd Person Action ✖️
    Nioh 1: Complete Edition 3rd Person Action ☑️ I will probably play a Nioh game at some point. I think, I heard 2 is a better starting point (?).
    Blasphemous Metroidvania ☑️
    Blasphemous 2 Metroidvania ☑️
    Death's Door Isometric Platformer/Action ☑️ I really like the graphics in this one.
    Curse of the Dead Gods Action Roguelike, Isometric ✖️ This one reads more like Hades than a Souls-like. But it apparently has stamina and parrying.
    Tails of Iron 2D Action ✖️ Not a Metroidvania
    Eldest Souls Isometric, Boss-Rush ✖️

    Wow, didn't expect a full table for this. This should be quite handy for people, thank you!

    TUNIC is really charming. I played it for a couple hours, and it really feels like a perfect blend of Zelda and Dark Souls.

    Yea, Nioh 2 is quite a bit better than Nioh 1, but it's also more expensive :P It's still a solid game.

    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.

    hk was the first hard game i actually finished most of after becoming an adult; between school and early career i really couldn't devote the dozens of hours to really get good at a skill based game so it'll always hold a special place in my heart

    death's door was a little easier but had a lot of charm

    might just end up buying lies of P whether i win or not!

    I just bought Death's door, playing it now, love it but the lack of a map is a bit annoying.

    I also got Tunic and Hollow Knight already, not sure about the rest.

    Anyway, still throwing my hat in just in case I can win something!

    All of these games look amazing. The only one I have already is Blasphemous and it's next up on the playlist. Thanks for the giveaway!

    Blasphemous was my intro to soulslikes and I picked up Blasphemous 2 during the Summer Sale, but the rest look great!

  • [–] 4 points 1 week ago

    I haven’t played a lot of souls like games. Only Deaths door. It sounds a lot like work tbh. But if there’s one with a good story, maybe it’s worth it?

  • [–] 4 points 1 week ago

    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

    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.

    I own most of these games, and would regift the rest here if I won, so basically if I win, at least one other person wins, too.

    From the ones listed I have played Remnant 2 the most and also enjoyed it the most. Only thing I like less is that it's 3 man co-op and our group had 4 people who have the game. So we always ended up excluding 1 person.

    Hollow Knigt and Curse of the Dead Gods I own and tried but it just didn't click at the time, perhaps I just need to give them another chance.
