The combat is quite intriguing putting emphasis on dodging and parrying, reminiscent of souls titles.

Souls-like fantasy action-adventure game that looks pretty, has good music, and has a good story.

very impressive preview of Prime Time's Steam debut, I've played a lot of indie ARPGs lately that are either just souls-like (not a genre that I personally enjoy) or clunky and dated - there was a great level of depth and detail for a free prologue, I can't wait to see the full game next month!
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
6 of 81 sampled reviews raised it
Voice acting is good, except for a couple of lines that didn't quite get the inflection right.
