Listen, im a soulsbourne vet. Played through many indie souls like titles and none of them was able to capture the feel of the original dark souls. This game has done it. Funny that’s its a mobile game. Great story, solid game play, and i have been having alot of fun figuring put the rpg elements. I’d say if you ever do a future souls like, adopt the aspect of show don’t tell, i have no problem figuring out the story through actually finding it in universe. Other than that it is 100% worth money, i’m even considering buying the dlc when i finish. Now for the bad, the game sometimes doesn’t register my moves on both controller and touch screen, fighting feedback is iffy at best, in most cases be ready to die a cheap death because your opponent won’t stagger. The sanity system need to flushed out, every other enemy encounter causes my to lose sanity to the point of lunatic. The enemies themselves take way too long to take out, i mean i’ve leveled up my characters about 16-17 times and and im still just barely getting through areas. And every enemy is a tad faster than you they can stagger you, and most of their move sets are too fast to dodge. It’s absolutely infuriating, and not in a “get gud” way. The characters in general move too slow, and these maps are somewhat big. Im still interested and amazed by the game but there ARE blatant problems that are holding it back from being the best indie souls like.

Thank you very much for your great support of this game. Your review is an encouragement to us. We will do even better in the future.

This is a very simple review. If you are at all a fan of Souls like games (Dark Souls, Bloodborne, Nioh, Lords Of The Fallen) you will love this game no doubt. It is more than a Souls clone, the developers have created some unique aspects not found an the aforementioned games that really stand out (though I won’t ruin the surprises here) Graphics are beautiful, gameplay is wonderful especially considering this is on a mobile device, voice acting is so-so but doesn’t take away from the enjoyment at all, story is there but like most “Souls” like games you have to search for the story which is part of the fun, sound effects are wonderful and match well to the atmosphere of your changing environments. One VERY IMPORTANT thing to note is you most certainly will need to use a Bluetooth controller of some form to play this (ps4 or xbox controllers now supported on iOS 13.3 I use my ps4 controller and it’s just like playing Souls) it would be remarkable to see anyone play this game and be even decent at it using the touch screen controls only, just my opinion anyways. The developers are active and interact with the people who buy the game and have even mentioned that DLC and updates are on the way! Very cool.

TL;DR
If you are a fan of any of the souls like genre then get the game you will love it, just make sure you have a Bluetooth controller to use as touch screen controls are very difficult to manage for this style game.

Hey Adventurer! We really appreciate the detailed feedback and support! The Teams goal is to create a fantastic world that delivers an authentic Souls-like experience to players. Thanks again for the support and review! More game updates are on the way so stay tuned. Happy Gaming! /Sirius

Ok let me start off by saying I have played all of the dark souls games and every “souls like” game out there and this is definitely the closest anyone has come to replicating the feel and the amazing world building of those games. The combat is great and I had 0 trouble getting through the game control wise.... however I found the final boss insanely and I mean insanely overly difficult, even after the recent update with it being patched and the difficulty lowered it still took me DAYS to beat the last boss. And the rest of the bosses I had nearly no trouble completing after a few tries. I feel as if the final boss can very easily one shot you and is very overpowered. However the rest of the enemies were great and had difficult to master move sets that challenge the player in every way possible and although I found the final boss crazy hard the boss is very well designed and one of the best final bosses Iv seen in video games so 👍🏼 just lower the difficulty by a lot in the next patches please. And I should also mention I did beat the whole game on “hard mode” that is not using the egg in the beginning. But great design and amazing game wish there was a bit more none human bosses as well but very excited for the dlc.

Hey there Adventurer! Our Team appreciates the support and praise by far! We have free content inbound and DLC on the way so stay tuned! Also, congrats on beating the final Boss! /Sirius
