Looks interesting so far, I was immediately drawn to how cool your character looks at the start, I got strong Engineers from Prometheus vibes.
It's currently in a small closed beta, and launches sometime later this year.

I'm pretty excited to see how this game turns out because it at least appears to have a basic understanding of what makes the Souls games so special, while also knowing its place well enough to recognize what works and not shy away from mimicking (see what I did there?) what Fromsoft did.
There are a lot of concepts that strike me as the sort of thing that, as a fan of the Dark Souls series, would be ideas in the vein of, "wouldn't it be cool if you could do [x], or if this weapon let you do unique [y]?"
Another video that happened to be one of the first on my Youtube recommendations for more mechanics/footage:
I dunno, for being a small developer studio, this just looks damn good.
Plus, I'm the odd one out who sees these kinds of dark, spooky environments and gets all happy. Yeah, Undead Settlement is a happy place - what of it?
To be fair, full price is only $24.99.
Another positive indication is that the developers seem to have taken immediate action to criticisms of their initial reveals and have indeed tuned it in the mean time.
This day and age when indies are cropping up from the wood works, including tackling souls-likes, it's refreshing to see at least a higher level of standards here, I suppose.I will stand firm, I refuse to kneel - The fury in me is divine
My dark grave awaits, my fate is revealed - But I'm not afraid to die
If you have any problems or need advice, feel free to ask

The game is out now, has anyone picked it up?
It's pretty damn cheap, $32CDN, so not sure what you Americans are paying, 25?
It's neat that it's done by an indie studio of about 15 devs, no AAA bullchit.
ACG said he liked it a lot in his review, and all of the comments I've seen have been positive so far.
