The game feels similar as any Dark Souls game regarding playability and dark fantasy setting.

The combat can be challenging if you act too impatient or careless but it's balanced and enjoyable, the bosses could have been harder though.

Besides the known dodge mechanic, you got the harden mechanic instead of block and shields, where you become a stone while holding the button or until you get hit absorbing the damage and it feels forgiving as you don't lose stamina when getting hit while using it.

The game doesn't feel very RPG like, there is no character creation, customizations, armors or jewelry. Instead of wearing armors you wear a shell. There are five shells in game and they must be unlocked by finding them laying around. Each one offers unique stats and unlockable passive skills.
The skills are limited, 2 per weapon, but you must find the weapon's item upgrade first to use the skills and requires resolve which you fill by hitting enemies. Also you have 3 different parrying effects if you got resolve and one of them can heal you but you need timing.
There's no magic or archery ways to play, just melee combat.

The game is kinda short but easy to get lost if you get distracted meaning you might spend time walking around the places trying to find where you should be, making it feel lengthier than it actually is. Also there are no side or major quests just the main story and the enemy variety is small but since the game is also short it's not an issue.

The game looks good visually speaking and I only had a few minor problems like getting stuck sometimes due to not having jump mechanic, but rarely happens and you can just return to the main menu.

It's a good and challenging action game that can be sometimes frustrating like any game under souls like tag but it's worth playing.
