I loved this game. I won't neccesarily recommend it to you, but I really enjoyed and it was mostly thanks to the setting and its vibes. It's not great at a technical level (some human character models belong to the PS3/360 era), the plot is not really that interesting and it reuses assests all over the place. But I still found the artsyle gorgeous and, as an history buff, I just couldn't resist the idea of clockpunk automatas on the french revolution.
I also loved that this wasn't my usual experience with soullikes. It started kicking my ass, as usual, but the combat and build system was so malleable that after a few hours I was able to make a "frost/fire build" that allow me to break the game, winning against the biggest bosses at my first attempt.
I didn't wrote an usual review for this one. What I did was an article about the clockpunk genre, how it fits on the french revolution and how the game represents a social conflict that was mostly about the burgeois taking power instead of the popular masses.
Its is spanish and, as usual, you can read it in GamerFocus.

I know …

I know this is not a great game. As usual, Spiders (the game studio, not the arachnids) is biting more than it can chew, but I appreciate the ambition.
Me writing an article about the historical, cultural and visual influences of a niche soulslike game that only two people played.
Me when the article only receives two visits.
I'm still trying to understand why this soulslike hooked me in a way Elden Ring wasn't able to.
(And I still loved Elden Ring)
