Featuring classes, a life-and-death cycle, and overall exploration, Lords of the Fallen offers a variety of different approaches to the soulslike formula. There are also some unique aspects to combat, such as Soulflaying and Withering mechanics. These mechanics work in and against your favor in this slightly different implementation of our (not so) beloved grey health.
