Solidly okay. As far as "souls-like" games go, it's very straightforward and doesn't have a ton of RPG choices to make beyond what shell you have and what you put your level point into.

But that simplicity is nice too. And the parry mechanic is more forgiving + intuitive than a Souls parry (you release a block, rather than pressing a separate button or starting a block). Pretty easy and cute, and "Battle for Bikini Bottom" is a very novel aesthetic to apply to a game like this.

I don't think it'd satisfy the buildmaxxers or the grimdarkers or the combatheads, but I'm enjoying it for what it is. Inoffensively charming. Much better than other kid-friendly games I think.
