This is essentially Zelda. But it draws inevitable comparisons to Dark Souls because of its somewhat higher difficulty along with the fact that your currency in the game is, well...souls.

The weapons are not very interesting at all. I pecked through with the Umbrella for an achievement, but after switching to the other weapons in post-game, I found that they mostly just dealt bigger damage.

The music is the surprise hit here. Death's Door is well-made overall, but the music is jarringly its greatest quality.

The game has a way with humor, relying on audio cues and typical video game expectations. It does feel a bit derivative, but it's worth a chuckle none-the-less.
