souls like

Eh I'm not sure about that, though I've only played a couple of hours so far.

Shares more DNA with something from Platinum imo. This is not meant to be a judgement on the quality of the game as I generally love Platinum's games.

Edit: maybe a better comparison would be the modern Ninja Gaiden games (though not as difficult. Not yet at least)

It's definitely not a soulslike. There's no stamina, you don't have to commit to attacks (can interrupt them mid swing by dodging). There's double jumps, dashes, no estus, no bonfires.

Yeah exactly. More like the modern Ninja Gaiden games maybe?

Yeah I think that's right. I'm about 6hrs in now. I'd say it's easier, but similar.
