Ever since FromSoftware revolutionized action games with its Dark Souls series well over a decade ago, developers the world over have attempted to recreate its winning formula in a range of new and inventive ways. The latest game putting its own spin on it is Kristala, an indie soulslike with dark fantasy visuals and challenging combat that's straight out of Dark Souls, but here you play as a cat.
It's not as if the adorable tabby from Stray has been let loose in Lordran, though, as Kristala's kitties have a lot in common with hoomans. They wear clothing, walk on two feet, and know their way around a sword. Think the Khajiit from Skyrim, and you'll have a pretty good idea. There are six clans to choose from, each offering its own unique combat strengths and magic specialties.
