As I said before, this game looks like a Weird West version of Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past to me, but the developer calls it a souls-like. I plan on giving the demo a try to see how souls-like it really is.

Ok, played the demo, I get it now. They have campfires to refill your health and respawn enemies. I guess that鈥檚 just a requirement to be considered a souls-like. Also, the enemies hit really hard and you have to dash a lot. Oh, and if you die it leaves behind a corpse which you have to reach to get back any dropped coins.
One thing this game does which I think is interesting (and not an aspect of a souls-like) is you have both a melee weapon and a gun. The gun only has six bullets and you refill ammo by using your melee weapon. This means you spend a majority of your time using your melee weapon because six bullets really isn鈥檛 much and not every melee hit refills a bullet. I鈥檓 guessing ammo regeneration is dependent on melee damage dealt but I didn鈥檛 find any real pattern there (it isn鈥檛 1:1).
Overall, it鈥檚 an interesting game. Definitely a tough game, but I don鈥檛 know if I would鈥檝e said it鈥檚 a souls-like. I鈥檓 also not an expert in souls-likes so maybe I鈥檓 just ignorant. It鈥檚 a fun but tough game. Probably too tough for me, but that鈥檚 fine.
