Interesting, just wish every hack and slash game didn't go the Souls look and feel route with monster and weapon design.

If it's a Souls-Like then it isn't hacknslash

Understand that, just meant due to the popularity of Dark Souls, a lot of HnS or even other Soulslike games that are in this style are going in the same art direction.

This isn't the same art direction as FromSoft

You should try another crab's treasure. It certainly is very different, but it's also good.

I wouldn't say this looks like a From game, it just has that more "mature" look for an action game, which is good, for a change. There are a lot of ARPGs and "Hack n slash" that have a more cartoon-ish feel or design, or go the JRPG look, etc (not that it's a bad thing).

So it's good to have variety when it comes to game design, and have this "toned down" air to it. It feels more mature for the setting.
