Death's Gambit: It's good!

It's EXTREMELY souls but it looks and feels good to play

My biggest problem is the lack of a lockon - normally not an issue in 2D games, but holding down the shield button locks you in a direction adn it's not uncommon for large enemies to attack past you, and then turn around for a followup

so switching sides becomes important

I think I just need to get used to dodging through on those big attacks and then turning around with more space between us

The most interesting twist on the Souls formula: it's not your currency you leave on the spot where you died. It's one estus charge.

YOu can get it back also by paying a sum to the bonfire equivalent.
