Its a Final Fantasy world. Its an action game but not like Monster Hunter probably closest to Nioh. Although the look of it is a lot like the FF7 remake.

It plays kind of like a Dynasty Warrior game where most of your combos are all going to be some form of:
R1 -> R2
R1 -> R1 -> R2
R1 -> R1 -> R1 -> R2
They have a charge attack by holding the button and some small variations depending on the direction you're holding when you attack. Also the R2 finisher can be changed depending on the weapon type and as you level different jobs you start to unlock tons of abilities.

It has a souls-like feel, but not as difficult and the combat is a lot more fast paced. Enemies hit hard, but it's not as punishing as traditional souls games. You have a Estus flask system with potions that refill at checkpoints throughout the map.

As far as Monster Hunter comparison goes, it would be closer to Rise I think. The weapons all play differently, but not nearly like MH games. The enemy patterns aren't nearly as complex as MH games either.

They have online co-op and the entire game can be completed co-op. When you join other people's games you will take place of one of their NPC characters, but you will use your own equipment. So if fashion is a thing you care about, the host won't see your gear.

As Viper mentions, an action game - and a fast paced combo oriented gameplay with other options for sustained ranged and magic combat. And while you can try to play it slower and more paced, as you progress into the post credits and the DLCs, the game will expect more out of you. Either on the numbers, the synergy, or the gameplay. Combat feeling very responsive and could not say that the combat

Co-op is possible for most of the base game and much of the DLCs, though a bit restricting around the late endgame for the guest. (Works better with a friend / partner than a random since you can voice chat and coordinate.)

Where the game could be closer to if scaling to have a longer dance with the boss: (3
minutes of fight including first and second phase with soul burst animations) https://youtu.be/91eJHD3l8rA?t=4

Or if you start to scale the stats up to Where the katana gameplay might look like (30 seconds of fight): https://youtu.be/-KOAtZTzT9Y

And then if looking to overgear content and go for the clear in the DLCs, it may just look like (15 seconds of fight):
https://youtu.be/EK8FO426AVY?t=31

At the extreme, you can destroy a boss phase in under 6 seconds. Or become so tanky late endgame in Rift (without trials) that you can go to the bathroom, take a pee break, wash your hands, come back, and the enemy will still be trying to slay you. And then throttle it down to have a longer flowing dance with the enemy if desired.

Not Dark Soul. Not MonsterHunter. It's more like Devil May Cry combined Nioh

[FafnirChaos]

It has Dark souls/Elden ring style button inputs and some parry mechanics, along with Monster hunter weapon class abilities.

Greatsword in here is very smiliar to GS in MH.

Thanks to all

Forget Dark Souls.

Think Nioh mixed with Final Fantasy lore and mechanics (job system, etc).
It's way faster paced and more colorful than Dark Souls type of gameplay.
It's punishing/unfair like Nioh and you have exact same mission structure, co-op, etc.

I would recommend this for 2 player types:
- The OF FF1 fans who want to know more lore about FF1 and generally FF universe.
- Nioh/Wo Long fans, and generally players who like games that slap you in terms of difficulty.

The combat system is similar to Nioh in difficulty, it throws a gigantic amount of classes (jobs) at you, they play completely differently (for ex you can be Mage, Ninja, Monk, or Knight, etc), and bosses are hard.

is there a "difficulty" option "start the game in easy/normal/hard ETC ?

Yes

feels and plays like nioh 2, gamefeel is extremely similar as well as timing for blocks/parry and skill usage

less emphasis on lengthy combos more emphasis on build + spend resource systems
