Top 5 Games Similar To Dark Souls On Mobile

Dark Souls is one of the best action RPGs you can play on PC and console, with very unforgiving difficulty. However, the game is not ported to mobile yet. In this article, Gurugamer is going to list out the top 5 games similar to Dark Souls on mobile so that players could try out while waiting for the actual Dark Souls to get a port.

1. Revenant Knight
2. Grimvalor
3. Swordigo
4. Pascal's Wager
5. Ronin: The Last Samurai

1. Revenant Knight

Revenant Knight is a hardcore action game that copied the core gameplay and aesthetics of Dark Souls. You control a knight that must defend the tombstone of a lady from enemies that are drawn towards the sounds and light.

The graphics and animation are stellar for a mobile game, not to mention the hardcore souls-esque gameplay which is very well polished. The controls are intuitive and easy to use, allowing players to perform all the split-second maneuvers on mobile to avoid enemies' attacks. There are dozens of enemy types for your to fight alongside bosses to defeat. The more nights you survive, the more points you gather which can be used to improve your attack or defense.

2. Grimvalor

Grimvalor is yet another Souls-inspired game with everything from level design, enemy design, and the story... being dark and gritty. Its controls are intuitive and responsive but not overly so. The game is very well optimized and runs buttery smooth, even on a low end phone.

The enemy design is fairly well balanced. They are challenging but not too difficult - you can eventually overcome whatever obstacle you are facing. The soundtrack is absolutely amazing and will get your blood pumping at all the right parts.

3. Swordigo

Swordigo is a mobile adventure game/3D platformer where you run, jump and slash your way through a vast world of platforming challenges and embark on an epic adventure.

The difficulty was designed pretty well - the game was challenging without being so difficult it's not fun. The puzzle elements are interesting and a great tribute to traditional platformer games. The controls are smooth, responsive, easy to remember, and adjustable. As Swordigo is an old game, players should have no problem running it on weaker devices.

4. Pascal's Wager

Pascal's Wager is a challenging action role playing game set in a world of dark fantasy. Step into the shoes of Couriers, as they discover the tale behind the mysterious Dark Mist.

While the game is still a bit rough over the edges, it got all the most important parts right:

Complex, well-made level design with solid art direction.
Challenging boss fights with multiple evolving patterns.
Plenty of side-content between quests, secrets and DLC areas.
Several optional game modes with tons of related achievements.
Five characters each with their own unique game mechanics.

5. Ronin: The Last Samurai

Ronin: The Last Samurai is a fighting game – a precise, methodical one that emphasizes timing and tactics over button-mashing. Overall, players can consider it to be a mobile Sekiro instead of Dark Souls. This game is visually stunning. The art style is reminiscent of a traditional Japanese painting.

Gameplay-wise, Ronin: The Last Samurai is a rogue-like samurai action game. Players complete runs where they face off against waves of enemies with a boss every five levels. Each run yields resources used to upgrade equipment for higher stats. Combat involves blocking, parrying, and attacking, and it relies on you knowing which approach to use with which enemy.
