I'm only 3 hours in the game now when i'm writing this, so it might change when i beat it (if i beat it of course) So first impressions were not really good to be honest but it's also because i'm used to play with medium or high settings as my computer is not a beast. The textures were a bit poor and unpolished so i tried the "ultra" settings and it was much better. Even though i had to turn it back down to "high" when i reached the prison because the game was lagging A LOT ! But it might come from my machine, maybe. The controls and the combat feel slow and clunky, it took me some time to get used to it. I was actually about to rage quit when i encounter the Cyclop. And then i tried again, 2 more times and understood the mechanics and got him. So i thought "ok, let's continue and see" Right now i just killed the 3rd boss and i'm getting used to the gameplay and rythm of the whole thing. So basically i thought it was hard to get into as i was expecting some Dark Souls like experience and in a way it is a bit like Dark Souls, with less polish of course as it's made by one guy only and not a whole team I want to say thank you for doing this, thank you for the effort and congrats for your work. It's not perfect, it's note quite done yet but i'm enjoying this. I guess i'll send an email to the dev with some stuff that i noticed that could (i guess) easilly be fixed. EDIT : i just beat the game after 10 hours roughly and i have to say i really enjoy playing it until the end. I got more and more into it and i didn't care anymore about the unpolished aspect and other issues. I'll play NG+ now and try to get the last achievement i guess. Thanks for your work ! Keep on doing it !

This game is awesome! I love the homage it pays to souls-like games. Great game for a first time developer. Looking forward to what the future holds! Keep up the good work.

it was just kinda stinky. played sorceress, found only 1 spell, couldn't use it, stats too low. normal enemies die in 1-2 hits, bosses take a billion hits. there's 0 area of effect on anything in this game, 0. I have a special move that does a big slam explosion, it's cool, only hurts the 1st thing it hits. there are better scuffed janky souls games on steam, sorry. it's not like a super bad game or anything, it's just like kinda boring and the jank isn't super janky. it's just like extremely alright.

This is actually a pretty good game. You need to temper your expectations a bit, it is made by a solo developer and is certainly not AAA quality graphics. It definitely scratches the Dark Souls itch, and really has a certain retro feel that takes me back to Playstation 2 and even Nintendo 64 era gaming. The classes feel a little bit imbalanced so far, the spellcaster feels too weak and then suddenly starts to feel too powerful by nature of long range damage vs. melee enemies. I feel like this is a great buy on sale & even worth it at full price if you enjoy this genre.

There is obviously a ton of effort that has gone into this game. Unfortunately, it just isn't very much fun. Souls-likes tend to live and die on their gameplay and the gameplay in this is extremely clunky and not enjoyable. I played as the sorcerer. Essentially, when you are casting you cannot move. Don't worry though because it won't matter until AFTER the first boss who will stomp towards you and then make zero other sounds. The controls are sluggish and the game just looks kind of bad. It is a promising first entry for a solo dev but my recommendation would be to work with a team on your next game or even polish this one a LOT more. https://youtu.be/Ud6MMbcqXzY

Great first attempt by a solo dev. I found after a few hours I was hooked and am currently pursuing 100% completion. Obviously it is a nod to Dark Souls but I have more fun playing this than Dark Souls, personally. Great game, and I'm glad to see the developer is actively updating things based on feedback from streamers and stuff.
