"From the creators of Bloodborne and Dark Souls"

No secret that this is how they're planning on selling this game. Too bad fans of those games are being bamboozled. =(

How are they bamboozled?

This is beautiful! The environments, the traversal, the enemies, and the atmosphere. The gameplay also looks good with vertical movement. Looking forward to this one.

Everything I've seen in the trailers and interviews indicate it's going to be a considerably different style of game than the Dark Souls and Bloodborne games. They're throwing out the RPG stuff, no character creation, a more up-front type of storytelling, and a more action-y style of combat. If people go into it expecting it to be like Dark Souls or Bloodborne, then they're likely going to find something different than they were expecting.

I got this impression as well but I thought "bamboozled" is strong term to describe it!

It simply says "creators of Bloodborne and Dark Souls" and it does not say "copy of Bloodborne and Dark Souls"!

Yes agree. I am also looking forward to this one as well.

Does it rely on grinding? Well then. Copy, clone, potato, potato.

I just picked "bamboozled" cause it was silly-sounding. XD I realize it doesn't say it's a copy (or even a "souls-like"), but by referring to the developers as "the creators of Bloodborne and Dark Souls" instead of something like "is being made by FromSoftware (known for the King's Field, Armored Core, and Dark Souls series of games)", there's a reasonable chance that people that haven't heard much about the game will think that it'll be similar to the ones mentioned. It may not be intentional, but it may confuse people about what to expect from the game.

Anyway, it should be interesting to see how it turns out. I don't have anything against them or the game, it just doesn't sound like my cup of tea. Nioh 2 has been announced and is in development and that sounds like it's more my thing, but gonna have to wait and see.

This isn't from software's fault though. They aren't misleading anyone. They have been very transparent. they've said it's a departure from the souls games, it's an action adventure game not an RPG, no leveling, no armor, no souls, no bonfires, no weapons other than the katana ( you do get prothesis for you arm though), no stats, no classes and I'm sure I'm missing a few more no's.


This is a usual case of poor reporting. You've said yourself that you've watch videos and read interviews. From softwares been upfront and put the information out there. It's not thier fault if sites dont do thier due diligence and misrepresent it.


There are plenty of good sites saying it's a totally different kind of game so if consumers pay any attention at all they should no this is no dark souls game.
