What is the dark SOULS of retro gaming?

>>	Anonymous Tue Aug 31 02:00:28 2021 No.8088636 The whole appeal of Dark Souls is that it felt like a throwback to retro design in all the right ways. There is no Dark Souls of retro games, because games were just expected to be challenging back then.

>>8089447
the stamina bar in particular is the common link.
you run out of stamina very fast so you're forced to play defensively. then they have to design the whole game around that because the player character is very weak.
make the enemy miss, go in for a few swings, get out to bring your stamina back up. slow and methodical.
