I'm writing this as a Dark Souls veteran (1000+ hours) who doesn't really care for Anime
I'm writing this as a Dark Souls veteran (1000+ hours) who doesn't really care for Anime. First off - is this Anime Souls? Absolutely. But is it a bad ripoff? Absolutely not. Overall comparison: - movement is a bit more floaty in this one - Combat feels a bit less beefy but still very good - Weapon movesets have been replaced with active skills which I like more. You unlock them over time and after mastering each skill you can mix and match cross classes - Bosses are very similar to Souls but still feel fresh and challenging - most of the consumables and game mechanics are basically 100% copy&paste from Souls, which I don't mind because of the familiarity it creates for players like me - Level design also feels very similar with shortcuts and gorgeous views along the way The story gets interesting very fast with elements of post-apocalypse, underground rivers of Blood, Vampires etc. When it comes to the art style - I'm not a fan of Anime in general, but holy hell this game looks gorgeous! The characters are lively animated, the world is interesting with lots of details, it's colorful and the character customization is the best I've ever seen in any game. You can not only change your person itself but you can also customize different outfits and change between them whenever you want. Fashion Souls+ Oh yeah one mention about the difficulty: some people say this game is easier than Souls - wrong. Turn the AI companion off and you'll see. First "real" boss took me 20+ tries and it felt just as rewarding to finally beat it. Overall I highly recommend this game if you're a fan of deep character customization and want a fresh Souls experience in a wonderful world with gorgeous characters and interesting story.

Still thinking about it
It is pretty much what it looks like, an anime-like dark souls, with a more explicit story and a different take on character progression and building. *Technically it's basically flawless for me, looks good, runs well, no significant bugs encountered (just a couple of flickering textures and that's about it). *Being able to change your build on the fly without having to respec is really neat. *Combat works well and is fun, it's not hard once you get the hang of it but the healing available to enemy damage ratio is kind of unforgiving, you have to try to not get hit. *Light weapons lack impact but that seems to be a deliberate choice, heavy ones feel really powerful and make you feel sorry for the poor sods you are crushing under them. *The AI partner is pretty useful and doesn't get in the way, and you can choose to go alone if you want more of a challenge (I'm eager to do a solo playthrough in NG+) *It is surprisingly polished, looks like they put the extra time from the delay to good use, it feels like a complete package, like nothing has been cut from it to sell back as DLC or microtransactions, which is refreshing nowadays. I can't guarantee that you will like it but it competently does what it sets out to do, if it looks like something you'd enjoy you probably will. The boobs are good, also.
