Phantom Blade Zero is an upcoming action RPG that isn't a soulslike, but it does feature some challenging combat. Some players at Gamescom thought it wasn't hard enough, though, so the devs kicked things up a notch.
In Phantom Blade Zero, you play as Soul, an assassin searching for answers about the murder of their organization's – The Order – patriarch. It's billed as a playable kung fu movie channeling the genre's golden age and folding in the creative spirit of the best PS1 and PS2 games.
