I've got the game in a sale and I was really surprised in a positve way. The game is neither a Dark Souls nor a Dark Souls clone. It has some inspiration from Dark Souls regarding the fights, but the rest is it's own. Fights and bosses are not challenging as in Dark Souls but for me it's okay. I like it, because it has a story with cutscenes and audio files, the fights are challenging but fair, the bosses are fun, the graphics are good, and I like the level design as well despite I know others think it's a mess. If you can grab the game in a sale give it a try.
