This is an RPG Maker 2k3 game? No way. The only reason I believe it is because I’ve worked with RM2k3 and recognize the RPG_RT.exe file you need to open to start up the game. The game opens up with this Secret of Mana-esque scrolling image with some text over it. The mood even gave me

I have never played a “souls-like” game before. With that said I immediately started a play through on the hardest difficulty. Why? I hate myself obviously. The good:Gameplay is pretty good. You get punished for being sloppy even by freaking goblins. Combat was fun and addicting and when I died I wasn’t mad, but more

Oh man. Believe me when I tell you how pumped I was when I saw this during the direct. Then it was announced that there was going to be a demo available right away. I pulled my Switch out of it’s dock and downloaded it as soon as the direct was over. At first I
