“A masterpiece of a game with awesome graphics,story-telling,fast-paced combat and challenging boss fights. Although it has souls-like elements,it plays more like a hack&slash in my opinion, with a lot of spells,combos…”

“good gameplay and good world shape but the boss is disappointed design i have zero emotional connection with them otherwise all 10/10”
