I don't know how you would categorize this game but Souls it is definetly not. It has some mild souls traits but it is so, so far from souls. When you die you keep all progression for one matter, it's easy as all hell. DMC/God of war on normal is more difficult and takes more effort. There are so many ways to level or gain a boon that you have to consciously decide not to take some of them so you don't trivialise the bosses. I started melting bosses so I stopped leveling up my stats and down graded myself and choose not to take certain end of level boons.
This is like old God of War but with an inability to tell a cohesive story and a lack of puzzles more than it is souls, even though it looks like souls. The core gameplay isn't even the heavy light attacks like souls, it's an RPG auto combo like FF16. Square, square, square etc.
