AI Limit, the other big Soulslike that released this week alongside The First Berserker: Khazan, has strong elements of FromSoftware games in its combat, but its developer prefers to refer to it as an action-RPG due to qualities that distinguish it from other games like Dark Souls and Bloodborne.
Talking to GamesRadar+, AI Limit producer Yang Bin didn’t outright reject the Soulslike label that’s the top user tag on the game’s Steam page, but he did confirm that it’s not his ideal descriptor.
