Neat lil boss rush game with great pixel art graphics! Enjoyed the first half, cause after that it felt like the difficulty went up a couple of notches, and it got just too hard for me. The bosses seem very well designed, but they may have had a tad bit too much health for my taste. I've heard people complain that the game is unfair, but I think it's one of those games where you just have to put in the time. Whenever I died it felt like my own mistake. Interesting little world with a quest system similar to metroidvanias like Blasphemous and Hollow Knight, but way simpler. Combat felt like a roguelike with soulslike elements. I feel like calling the game Eldest Souls was a discredit to itself, because it makes it sound like a parody or a cheap ripoff. I think the game could've standed well enough of it's own without marketing it as a "Souls" game.
