well does any one really know the game mechanics to proof it? this alpha demo only exists for 1 day so far, and from i have seen there is tons of stuff espacially in the combat system. Not only does it have different weapons but even 3 different ways to hold a weapon and each can be upgraded with new abilities. Alot of the animations you can choose from look even like they came from Dynasty Warriors, the lance one.

Then there is the bow which can be used at any given moment its not a weapon class or something but a gameplay aspect like in bloodborne with the gun.

Item exist too, you have to use them make your weapons burn with elements and stuff.

And a ninja aspect exist too with shurikens. I didnt even bother at that point because i was overblown with so many game mechanics i am holding it back on porpouse for now lol.

Why not trying it out first?

ehh i dont think its THAT hard, still hard but it gets alot easier when you get use to the controls and systems. Will definitely be picking this up a launch.

Is it as rewarding? And is it fair?

Not bad at all. I was talking out of my ass tbh, based on YT gameplays and what I could see and read, but I definitely want to give it a proper try myself since I'm a Dark Souls fanatic XD. What I could see seemed pretty brutal. And I'm still not sure that brutal in a good way. 

OMG !

I met the same exact guy, he did the same things and i reached the second one two only thanks to him, i wonder if he's not a developer, or maybe the first man to finish the demo in the world

It is definitely hard but somehow addicting because of all the different ways you can attack an enemy. I thought by increasing my stats and getting decent equipment I would be able to defeat the enemies in the starting area but wow, I still got killed a lot by even the first enemy you encounter. LOL. Then one time I decided to be more careful and be more defensive and do more running around and actually was able to reach that area with lots and lots of enemies without taking damage(well until the area with lots of enemies where I thought I was about to ambush one enemy and then suddenly all these other enemies appear and attack me all at once).

the game gets easier the more you level up, (not talking about farming to become over leveled or anything like that, just normal progression), or by finding better gear, that being said i agree the game does feel more challenging than the soul series.

Actually, it should just be: "prepare"

Yeah I didn't progress any further after hours of playing lol, thought it wasn't for me. Then I got better loot and started upgrading myself, now I can take more hits and do more damage.

You can perfectly take on 3 guys, dodging at the right time and looking out for your stamina is key.

I got to the first boss/semiboss I think, the one up above in the house.
