While the following titles may not be the most expansive or polished in the genre, their boss fights alone make it worthwhile to push through the rest of the game. Unlike the top-tier soulslikes with numerous bosses , these games have their flaws, but they still offer memorable battles that fans of the genre will appreci

SonSon and Mega Man: The Wily Wars are good for references, but what if players wanted to experience the actual novel in a video game format? Later games managed this with some artistic license, though some old school games did try to cram the novel into an NES cartridge or an arcade board, to varying degrees of succ

Challenging and climactic boss fights are at the heart of every soulslike experience . Encountering formidable enemies players have no idea how to defeat at first is part of the genre's charm — but there's more to it than just the difficulty. Soulslikes often pair these intense battles with rewarding exploration, flexible character-building, and great itemization, attracting players for more than just their boss encounters. Sometimes, though, the rest of the game doesn't quite measure

Wait, wasn’t Mega Man: The Wily Wars just a Genesis remake of the first 3 NES games ? Well, yes. However, that was only part of the story. After beating all 3 remade games, it would unlock a new section called ‘The Wily Tower,’ where Mega Man could choose any of the weapons from MM’s 1-3 to tackle its sta

The secret boss encounters in Black Myth: Wukong are some of the most challenging and entertaining to beat after the effort you put into tracking them down. One of the more unnerving foes you're tasked with beating is Duskv

Darksiders 3 marked Gunfire Games' early attempt at incorporating soulslike elements , which they later refined in the Remnant series. As such, it's no surprise that Darksiders 3 feels like a transitional game — caught between the action roots of the Darksiders series and some distinct soulslike elements, which at times can feel forced and unnecessary. However, the game's premise, where players hunt down the Seven Deadly Sins as Fury, lends itself to some truly memorable boss encount

Black Myth: Wukong is the latest action-RPG that has sparked debate over whether it truly fits the soulslike mold. While not as punishing as typical soulslike games and featuring more traditional action-oriented combat, it borrows several elements from the genre. These include a "bonfire" system, healing and stamina management, and a number of challenging bosses. However, due to its somewhat limited exploration and streamlined structure, the game primarily revolves around boss fights, with a new encounter typically every 15 to 20 minu

The video game Black Myth: Wukong , which is currently making a big impact in the entertainment world, is yet another example of this story's continuing popular

It turns the story into a Donkey Kong Country -esque platformer with Prince of Persia puzzle-solving, where players can switch between Sanzang, Wukong, Kihong (Bajie), and Sandmonk (Wujing) on the fly. That way, they can switch between their different skills and abilities (gliding, double jumping, etc.) to navigate various obstacles. It’s a fun little game that fell under the radar for many, but it delivers a strong showing through its deep ties to Journey to the We

Black Myth: Wukong is full to the brim with interesting characters, all steeped in layers of Chinese mythology, as well as parallels to the 16th-century novel Journey to the West. With such a wide array of characters, it's natural that you might wonder which lines up with typical Zodiac sign personality tra
