Though its knightly get-ups remind us of the Arthurian tone of Dark Souls, and its gothic environments carry the miasma of Bloodborne’s Yharnam, it doesn’t take long for Hexworks’ Soulslike to spill beyond the mould in which it’s been set. When we misjudge the reach of our flail in an early scuffle, we’re met with a flurry of fatal blows and fall to the ground defeated. But rather than seeing a taunting death screen as we’ve come to expect from the genre, we receive something all the more encouraging. As a second chance, we are instantly resurrected – rising from the same point we fell, albeit not quite in the same place.
The world of the Umbral awaits you
