This game is great! It's clear that it wants to just be 2D Dark Souls, and it's good at that, but it does also have some neat ideas of its own (e.g. the level up system). I beat the game and immediately started a new playthrough, which is generally the highest praise I can give this kind of game.

I do really wish this game had an in game map though. A lot of the screens look very similar, so it's frustrating to try and figure out where I have and have not been before.
