Soulslike Templates

Create soulslike games with Summer Engine. Get inspired by templates below, or start from scratch with AI.

A soulslike is deliberate combat under pressure. Stamina governs every swing and dodge, enemies hit hard enough to demand respect, and death sends you back to a checkpoint with your hard-won resources on the line. The reward is mastery: learning a boss until its impossible pattern becomes routine.

A template gives you that framework: stamina-based melee, lock-on targeting, a dodge roll with invincibility frames, punishing enemies, and a checkpoint and recovery loop. With Summer Engine, the AI game engine compatible with Godot 4, you tune the challenge by describing it: ask for a parry window, a boss with a second phase, or a bonfire that respawns enemies, and the AI wires the systems with you while you fight your own build to keep it tough but fair.
