    so I’m not sure I know what you mean.

    I was mostly basing it on videos I’ve watched. I haven’t actually played it. I’d kind of consider any fight that lasts more than 10 minutes to be well into bullet sponge territory though.

    Having a stance meter instead of healthbars sounds pretty interesting though, I think I’ll check it out.

      I’m not sure I’ve had any boss fight last 10 minutes in Elden Ring and I’ve played through the game 20+ times. Unless you’re doing challenge runs, that could obviously take way longer depending on the challenge run. But a normal playthrough? I’d be surprised to see any boss take 10 minutes to kill. One of you would be dead long before then I think.

        Have you ever played nuclear throne? That’s kinda my preferred pacing in a game, but there aren’t many. I’d love a soulslike where combat was that fast and frantic, and bosses are really difficult but also die really fast if you play it right.
