Soulslikes With The Best Atmosphere

Atmosphere is very important in Soulslike games, even if most aren't aware of it. While there are tons of Soulslikes, these games nail it the best.

Of course, that won't stop melee purists from employing a wealth of weapons to decimate their opponents. However, the vast majority of weapons that players find in the world aren't all that visually stimulating, which is why so many people rely on mods to make the Arisen look cool and dazzling in combat as they use their flamboyant melee weapon to wreak havoc.

The Flamberge is a pretty common weapon players can find in the game world of Dragon's Dogma, with this weapon looking pretty common. While this isn't a dealbreaker by any stretch of the imagination, players can still use a mod that gives this weapon a texture overhaul for the ages.

This mod gives the Flamberge a notable look that makes it suitable to be wielded by high-class nobles who wanted their sword to look as ostentatious as possible. It's a simple mod, but a welcome one that makes the forgettable Flamberge a player favorite once again.

Change Helmbarte and Sapfire Daggers into Throatcutters mod for Dragon's Dogma

Dragon's Dogma is an entertaining game, but some design choices are rather puzzling for players. Players who love wielding twin daggers would want to get their hands on either the Helmbarte or the Sapfire Daggers, two weapons that are high-tier and dish out a ton of damage.

So, it's rather odd that both these weapons look pretty unremarkable, which can irritate players to no end. With this mod, the unremarkable textures of both these weapons are replaced with the look of the Throatcutters, which is more fitting than most people would expect.

Most games that allow players to mess around with rusted weapons will hammer in the point that these blades are ineffective and dull, and the look of these rusted blades in Dragon's Dogma certainly conveys this. So, it's rather odd that players can still viably use rusted weapons in the game without breaking a sweat.

To make these weapons look somewhat bearable, players are better off using a mod that removes the rust from these weapons. They don't look new by any stretch of the imagination, but these rusted weapons are more in line with their impressive functionality and don't look completely ruined.
