I had fun with it so far. Some minor issues like gamma being way too high and mouse cursor showing on the screen when using controller. Camera freaking out when close to walls. Other than that it runs fine maxed at 4K. Noticed the load screens are at an obscene framerate which will probably lead to problems on some computers.

Story seems cool. Not the best translation or VO but it gets the job done. Graphics are decent. Little too much color banding though. Probably because of the gamma problem. Combat is all right. The usual souls style but you can actually change the controls. Worth the price IMO.

Like Dark Souls, if it was developed during the time of Fable.

Bout as close a description as I can see. *CLEARLY* a *very*, very good Souls-like!! The more you play, the little nuances become clearer and clearer. Graphics at Highest settings are pure butter, I havent seen any slowdowns at all. Flashy transitions in menus, nice effects (the item on ground effects seem dated but are rendered pretty well), Strange Lore! Strange Land!! Love it!!

If you're on the Fence, Get it!! My only huge concern is the characters.. will we be forced to swap between them throughout the game? Kinda a deal breaker for me but I'll stick it out... just really will ruin the momentum.

Like a PS2/ early PS3 Dark Souls. I like the concept.
A clunky 'Souls'-alike, as if it were made on the N64 or as a Ps2 launch title. It's playable; the atmosphere is nice; the characters are endearing enough; and the story is interesting enough.

The dialogue is sketchy, and the voice acting is amateurish (albeit, amusing, rather than annoying). The map design seems very linear; the enemies are rote attackers sans much "A. I."; and your character's reaction speed rather tardy. Not being able to choose any character from the get-go, is irritating -- especially if one's default class in games like these, isn't a dual-wielding slasher-masher.

So far, it's a solid 6.5/10 (I've only played past the first boss, and haven't tried any of the other three {?} characters). I'd say it's a good foundation for a series, and could be expanded on with more resources / a bigger developer.

Scotch my entire post. Having played the game a bit more now, I can confirm that THIS GAME IS UTTERLY AWFUL, AND AN UNMITTIGATED, CLUNKY, BUGGY MESS!

I don't think I've experience gameplay / melee combat as poor as in this game... Certainly not as clunky and skewed towards CPU cheese. It's like the developers knew the shortcomings of 'Souls' enemy A. I., and decided to, instead of improve on it, make the player's controls so unresponsive, and the characters' actions so nonsensically laggard (how long does it take to swing a sword you can easily carry when one hand?!), that every battle with even the lowest level grunt = a veritable 'Souls' boss fight... And I won't even touch on the crapfest it turns into with more than a single enemy is attacking the player (spoiler: the camera instantly becomes enemy no.3).

Unless one is a clinically assayable masochist, avoid this game at all costs. It's painful to play, and hasn't anywhere near the depth of a 'Souls'-alike title, such as to warrant the gameplay torture that the game dishes out in spades.

The game is belittled only by the pretentious negative from the mega-walkers of DS, who are better at passing DS 100 times than something new. I watched several streams and gameplay where they initially had a preconceived attitude or high expectations for the game. But it came out on smartphones less than a year ago. What has been done for the DS remaster in several years and what is the price for it?..
I really don't like the inconvenient combat in the game. But I think this is the only serious disadvantage for the early port on PC.

First 2 chapters little bit boring. Other chapters of the game are very good.

I don’t fully understand her though. Any guide to playing her? How do you do Rhythm attacks?

it's amazing. Some complained about slow running but that is just on the heavy armour characters, which are meant for the heavy battle times. and you can swap between 4+ just in the first half of the game in which a few characters are meant for running. Great concept.
