There's many mechanics coming straight from Dark Souls, even some of the player aura effects from abilities are identical and some items work the exact same way.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
97 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
If you want an introduction to a 2D Metroidvania with combat mechanics then this is a good place to start, and that is why I am recommending it despite my criticisms.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
86 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Worth noting: It has genuine replayability, be it increased difficulty, trying to find all the things, or simply wanting to get the extra achievements (like play through without dying once...), which are pretty engaging.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
83 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Great narrative, but a bit more emotional reward after accomplishing anything would be nice.
Graphics
