Story

121 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I came in interested as I was told the story was incredible, and I was genuinely interested in seeing how a traditional turn based rpg adaptation of dark souls mechanics would play out.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
78 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The gameplay is quite fun, the story is good, and the character are a hit or a miss.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
48 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I liked the combat and weapon and magic system, BUT I can get it if it comes off as a little TOO simple to folks and might not be their cup of tea! ...
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
26 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
If you enjoy turn-based mechanics and are not turned off by more simple gameplay, Black Souls is really fun and satisfies in both difficulty and fairness in its gameplay.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
13 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack is minimal but effective, alternating between fragile piano melodies and tense ambient drones that make even moments of calm feel uneasy.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
8 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The regular CGs, as well as the H-scenes, are really good too, featuring a unique hand-drawn art style that only gets better in the second game.
