What is a Souls-like?  I found myself asking that question a lot while playing through Death’s Door, as in some respects it clearly apes FromSoftware’s venerable franchise, while in others it distances itself.  With the rabid fanbase those games have accrued (not to mention all the memes about “X is the Dark Souls of Y”), I’m always a bit wary when slinging the Souls-like label around, lest I be called a filthy casual who doesn’t understand the genre … or worse.  In the case of Death’s Door, though, I feel relatively safe assigning the moniker, as even the Steam store page has it tagged as such; the fans have spoken, and all that jazz.  I think that it’s also one of the more accessible Souls-likes I’ve played, though that’s not to say it’s easy.  Rest assured that Death’s Door is more than willing to provide a stiff challenge, but – well – we’ll get into that.
