Doesn't Dark Souls give you infinite lives? Probably the equivalent of Contra with infinite lives cheat.

Obviously Grand Master

Ghosts N Goblins series? Also, not /vr/ related, but why the fuck has Capcom not made a 3D GNG's in the vein of Dark Souls? It would fit so perfectly.

Literally this. This is the series that lead to the Souls games. Same devs. Similar themes,
But seriously: Zelda and clones of Zelda. Especially the first one. That's the biggest influence.

not entirely happy senpai. sure it's generally more upbeat than souls but zelda definitely has a darker side and moments to it desu. I'd describe zelda as more melancholy than anything else... at least the games prior to the cartoon one on gamecube.

Ys Eternal and all its revisions. Nightmare mode makes Dark Souls look like Cooking Mama in comparison.
