10 Settings that Souls-Like Games Could Travel to Next

Western

Setting a Dark Souls style game in the old west would benefit from the unique weaponry of the time. Six shooters, rifles, horses, and other preliminary guns would add a new wrinkle to a formula that has largely succeeded due to incredibly precise close quarters combat.

A supernatural element could also be worked in, creating a title that draws inspiration from classics such as The Dark Tower. A combination of long-range battles, the same melee combat with swords, bats, and other various tools, and maybe even horseback combat could work, mixing things up even further.
