The beta for this is now open and available on the Epic Games Store. f*** Epic but I ended up downloading it just to try this. Definitely Souls inspired with a few mechanical changes. I'm not sure all of those changes are a good idea though... As an Unreal game though it does look amazing.
When I found out it had no online play my excitement went away but I heard it still gets good ie the person initially didn't like it but then wanted more.
I don't do The Surge or that other game the surge dev makes because of this.
Hard to sell a non Japanese Souls game to me
Salt & Sanctuary is fire though.
Anyone getting this game. I heard only good things about this game, & I have a soft spot for Indie studios. It also cost 1/2 price of AAA game, which looks better than most. It's not as long as other souls like games, but I prefer shorter games (in general) anyway. The long game tends to be dreadful near the end.
I was going to, but not anymore. Between the joke of the bosses and the dumb healing grind it is a non starter for me.
Started this over the weekend and holy moly is it fun. I could never get into DS although loved Bloodborne. I think like Bloodborne this game is more offense based with the use of the harden feature to tank attacks and not just roll away. Mind you there is plenty of that as well but it feels more like Bloodborne which is a positive in my book.
This game is great. I’ve unlocked all the shells and weapons and there is some good combos. The bosses are decent, not sure what menace-uk- is on about.
The best thing is the combat. There is a serious weight behind the attacks that make them absolutely brutal. I’d highly recommend this for anyone into Dark Souls.

Same here on the shells and weapons. I've beaten a couple main bosses now (where you get the mace and then Martyr's blade) and the side one near the main tower. I think I've explored everywhere so just have the final location left where you get the hammer and chisel. I had already taken a peak in that area but left due to having low health. I think that area is recommended for last. Not sure how much is left after that but I have a feeling due to it being made by so few people and only $30 that I'm probably coming to the end
. I really hope my love of this game can translate to the Demon's Souls remake because I'm having a blast. Definitely see myself playing through again especially to try a no shell run.
Also D-V-ANT do you have a favorite shell and weapon? I think Solomon for shell as I love having all of the resolve. Tiel is also nice for the stamina. I love Eredrim's design but not a fan of tank characters. For weapon I have mostly used the Hallowed Sword for its middle of the road qualities. Not sure how many acids there are but I have three on that, two on the mace, and I think one on the other two. It looks like in NG+ you can even buy acids so would be nice to have all of them maxed out. I might find I enjoy the others just as much if they did the same or more damage as the Hallowed Sword.
Tiel with the hammer and chisel is my absolute favourite. The speed of his attacks and dodges with that massive stamina bar is just beastly. Plus his dodge let’s him teleport through enemies which is great for getting out of some situations.
