10 Souls-Like Games You Probably Never Played

Ultima Underworld

In essence, however, the Souls games are all dungeon crawlers with players venturing forth into labyrinthine levels, battling all kinds of monsters, discovering treasure and eventually defeating the boss. If we’re talking about King’s Field, then discussing the game that inspired it – Origin Systems’ Ultimate Underworld – is mandatory. Essentially a first person RPG, Ultima Underworld featured CRPG elements like real-time combat and dice rolls while also having weapon deterioration, trading with NPCs and even the need to eat and rest.
