Shattered: Tale Of The Forgotten King brings some vibes of Dark Souls

If you haven't heard about the game yet, Shattered: Tale Of The Forgotten King is a mixture of 2.5D and 3D, of action and adventure, of open world and challenging bosses.

Sometimes 2.5D, sometimes 3D. Should I call it 2.75D?

In the game, you're controlling a wanderer in the semi-opened world of Hypnos. You'll have to explore through the vast area scattered with ancient ruins, encountering very tough bosses, and defeat them to step up to your final glory.

Apart from the adventure elements where you can choose several paths to follow, the bosses are also special parts of the game. The combat is very similar to Dark Souls, where you'll have to learn every move of the bosses and make a wise decision with precise timing.
