Submit your soul to the dungeon
Another <insert_name> Souls game? You will certainly feel this way at the beginning. Pixel art font is hard to read on a FullHD monitor, and even with the tutorial I felt lost and I was dying often. But later, as I unlocked some additional characters and recipes for the weapon forge and as I managed to collect money (note that you will not get money at the EASY difficulty, some character unlocks won't work either) to forge those weapons and to buy some crucial passive bufs, I started to think a little bit more about the tactics and I fell in love with this game. Everything from the attack system to the inventory/potion/active item handling is very simple, yet hard to master. You will have almost always insufficient potions with you and remember - ranged characters are always in a great advantage. As in Spelunky, the gorgeous dungeons are filled with traps that will easily kill you if you're not careful enough. It's worth to mention that pretty much often you'll find yourself in a room full of money/enemies/both with no idea whatsoever in which corners are the traps. That's a bit of a problem, because money glows, attack effect glows and you can see literally nothing in that mess. But you'll get used to it. You'll be like "one more dungeon" and nothing will stop you. In overall, this game is fun to play, has a nice learning curve, features a lot of items, enemies, tactics, bosses, even secret levels, some level of grinding. And since it's still in EA, we can hope that character balancing and rendering mess will be taken care of in a next update ;)
