Well. This is not a souls like game. Not at all. The gameplay is pretty fast and easy. Soul games are slow and needs lots of more attention than this game. I admit some bosses were a bit tricky but others -up to this point- are really easy. Dodge and you are good to go. I consider this game as a GOOD anime vampire RPG game. It adds lots of new ideas. Blood Codes. Scaling. Leveling up. Blood veils. Gifts. A partner. I mean these are actually really new and good (Although we had scaling in DS but scaling here is sth different.). Lots of new mechanisms. Verity of gifts will keep the game new and fresh as you progress. Also the vampire atmosphere is really good. Character customization is nice. It is more than good. Also the ability to restore memories and lots of classes. I mean they are unique. I have never seen them before. I recommend this game. I'm looking forward for Scarlet Nexus. That game seems a pretty good game too.
