DarkMaus

The key aspect to a Soulsborne game in my opinion is the necessity of a slower more cautious approach to exploration and quick but careful movements during combat.

While most Soulsborne games feature third person gameplay, this one was perfect in isometric form.

Darkmaus is a pleasantly surprising start to the indie year, the game draws heavily from the Dark Souls games and has the difficulty of one to boot.

Lighting is important and torches factor into staving off the complete darkness and the color scheme along with the general setting depicted really create a dark and oppressive atmosphere that will keep you on edge.

I would highly recommend using a controller with DarkMaus, you'll still die but you'll die with more dignity.

There musical score, the sound effects and the ‘ambient noise’ fit very well with the game.
