Bleak Sword DX is a well done retro souls like that is a bit more punishing than it should be. You lose all your current XP progress towards the next level up AND all your items if you die twice in a row. You can reclaim your XP and items if you beat the level the second try, but for that second try, your items are already not active, so you are weaker than in the first try. Leveling up is rather quick in the beginning, but takes multiple levels (4-10) later in the game. Losing the xp shortly before you would have leveled up is really frustrating. Fighting feels good in this game. It is mandatory to learn how to handle each type of enemy. There are a lot of different enemies and I disliked only one or two because they annoyed me. I finished the game in basically one session and would recommend playing it that way.
