Most played cute soulslike games
Soft colors and small fighters do not make these fights any kinder, and that is the point of these most played cute soulslike games. You still study bosses in Hollow Knight: Silksong and TUNIC, time your dodges and blocks, and lose progress when you fall, then try again with sharper timing. Another Crab's Treasure keeps the same loop of watching energy and repeated attempts, only with a small crab in scrap armor. Cute looks, strict combat.
