If you like soulslike games, don't mind reviews and try it. This game has a great storyline, extraordinary design, very interesting and new classes that you can switch any time, and a lot of weapons and abilities. For me, it was an easier version of Dark Souls, where you knew what your next move was and didn't have to walk around a ton to find out, which made it very enjoyable. The combat system and bosses were mediocre, but had fun whole game. 8/10

It is kinda sad to see, that the game has mixed recent reviews. Yeah it is not the Elden ring, but the game is still quite good. Gameplay and combat is generally fun without any significant bugs. Bosses felt mostly unique and some are quite memorable. Story is not mind blowing but it is good enough to keep your interest. The main weakness of the game are its levels. Different locations feel kinda unique, but within individual levels are used same assets again and again. So it starts to look bland and boring quickly. Overall it is good game that does not deserve those recent reviews.

This game is indeed anime dark souls. Unfortunately, this game only has three elements that could potentially set it apart from its mediocrity as a souls-like clone. The first element would be the character customisation, with quite an in depth character creator, it is easy to create any of your favourite anime characters and play the game as them. My only complaint would be that there is not a convenient way to import and export your character presets to share with others and play as other presets easily. The only way for you to create characters others have made is to meticulously copy the same settings when attempting to remake the same character. The second element is the character customisation of the builds. As the player progresses through the game, you unlock classes which have their own unique stat spreads and passive and active gifts (the games term for spells). The gifts are initially restricted to the specific class to use, but you can "master" the gifts through killing enemies and this unlocks the class restriction on the spells, allowing you to use the mastered gifts on all other classes (outside of a few powerful gifts which are locked to a class no matter what). While some weapons, gifts and armour have a stat restriction, since the stat spreads are tied to the classes, you can just freely swap classes on the fly for no cost meet the stat requirements. You basically have access to all the builds and can freely switch from one build to another once you have unlocked the required classes and the relevant gifts you want to use. The weapon system is simple as the weapons can be enhanced to +10 with in-game materials, I found that the game gave you enough of the enhancement materials so it would not be a problem if you wanted to try a bunch of weapons. Additionally, in the later areas, when finding new armours and weapons, they come upgraded to the expected baseline(+3,+6 or +9) of your current weapon/armour set so you don't need to enhance them from +1 to +10. The last element that is quite important to this genre that the game does deliver on is thankfully the bosses. While the graphics of the game is a bit lacking for the overall experience, the gameplay of the bosses is quite superb for the most part. Outside of a couple outliers, the bosses are all quite fair and challenging as a solo experience. While most of the bosses movesets and attacks start out basic, usually they have a soft phase change halfway through the fight. The base moveset is built upon with small and simple additions that add to a fair but still challenging boss encounter. There are a couple of moves that lack a react-able tell for some bosses, but this is rare enough that was not a source of frustration when learning bosses. Unlike the general enemies, the bosses had minimal reuse outside of one remixed fight. I do know that the depths area just reuse these bosses, but that area seems more like a bonus option side area for you to grind in. When coupled with the build variety and freedom to switch to any build on the fly, learning a boss has never had more options available especially when a boss is giving your specific build a hard time. Unfortunately, outside of these 3 factors, everything else in the game is either painfully average or subpar compared to the Fromsoft games. However, as flawed and subpar as this game is, overall, I still had an enjoyable time as the game was what I expected for the most part for a game that seems like Dark souls with an anime aesthetic. Would recommend this game on a heavy sale for anyone who enjoys Souls-likes, the anime aesthetic and the excellent boss gameplay of the genre.
