Fans of the Soulslike genre have a promising new game to play on October 13, thanks to the release of Valor Mortis. Valor Mortis is in development at One More Level, the studio that previously made the well-received Ghostrunner games. But while Valor Mortis comfortably fits in the Soulslike genre, it's doing a lot to help itself stand out compared to the many other Soulslike games on the market.
The vast majority of Soulslike games are third-person action-RPGs, but Valor Mortis uses a first-person perspective instead. Valor Mortis' first-person view immediately gives it a unique identity when compared to the other Soulslike games out there, but that's just one way it's differentiating itself from the pack. Valor Mortis is set in alternate-history 19th century Europe where players take on the role of a resurrected soldier that died fighting for Napoleon. Players have to fight their way through hordes of undead creatures utilizing weapons appropriate for the time period, like swords and flintlock pistols, along with their ever-growing supernatural abilities.
