FAN ART
PROS
Bosses are all unique in look and feel with own attack patterns and strategies required to defeat them.
Alot of skills and options to try and can customise builds to your playstyle.
Very challenging difficulty on all booses.
Very pretty 16 bit graphic style very dark world.
Combat is very fast paced and frantic.
Story was interesting from start to finish.
Only way heal is to charge attack making you play more risky is a cool mechanic.
CONS
Difficulty may put some off as you will die lots.
The world felt empty and not alot to explore seemed be boss after boss.
Would have liked a potion/heal as only way heal is to do a charge attack which made me die alot as if get timing wrong you would get punished.
OVERALL SUMMARY
I GIVE THIS GAME A SCORE OF 7.5/10
Overall is a fun pretty game but is very HARD even for people used to souls type games expect to die lots while working on the timing and may not be to everyones taste.
