I gave this a bit of time but there are a few things about this that I wasn't too keen on:

-No real options in game. Keybind functionality very limited. If you have a joypad it is locked to the joypad and several people complain they cannot switch weapons when playing with one.
-losing all your 'souls' upon death with one chance to get back. Very, very annoying in a metroidvania system.
-tough boss battles Relying on finesse and memory. Wasn't able to get past first one.

Oh, losing your souls in a boss room forfeits them.

This feels like a lukewarm symphonia of the night. With the souls retrieval system in makes grinding painful. Having only played the beginning of the game, I can imagine how tough this will get if i were to hunker down and slog through it. Disappointed in this game and had hoped it would have been both a bit better designed and not this daunting. Best make sure you have an actual XBOX controller if you do get this game, just to be safe.
