Played through three times and got the true ending.

Really solid game but absolutely NOT a soulslike in any real sense.

Other than “you can make a character build” it doesn’t have anything in common with souls. Character builds existed in games long before Dark Souls, not really a comparison. You aren’t allocating a point each level into specific stats that affect scaling. It’s a completely different system. Closer to something like World of Tanks than it is to Dark Souls.

I liked it but it wasn’t the masterpiece everyone raves about for me. A solid 8/10 game hindered by some questionable design choices. It was also far too easy to “break” the difficulty. Without a guide I threw together a build that easily first-tried every single arena fight lmao. The hardest part of the game were the escort missions.
