15 More Difficult Hack and Slash Games You Need To Experience

Eldest Souls

The Souls-like machinations of Eldest Souls are fairly obvious at first glance but the game is intended to be a boss rush above all else. This makes it a test to discern their patterns without getting instantly gibbed (and suffice it to say that figuring out dodge timing and attack hit-boxes unique to the game can also be frustrating). Earning upgrades makes later fights easier, at the very least, but it’s still a slog to get there.
