The areas, while pretty, are also tiny, taking less than a minute to run through at their longest. The game itself is little more than a constant boss rush, with very little, if anything, to do outside of the ten boss fights. While the art is still beautiful for the most part, the game is also wholly littered with assets that look cheap and bought – something I probably wouldn’t have paid all that much attention to if I didn’t constantly have to traverse the same area after each and every death. Upon actually playing it, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t disappointed, though. I’ll be honest, I am a complete sucker for pixel art games, and Eldest Souls looked exceptionally pretty when I first checked it out. the single most challenging game I’ve ever played.
However, I broke my cardinal rule of avoiding death simulators when I decided to jump into Eldest Souls A.K.A. It’s for that reason why I generally try my absolute best to avoid games like Dark Souls and Bloodborne – I’m too old to have that kind of heart-attack-inducing stress in my life. What I can’t handle is dying again and again and again at EXACTLY the same spot over and over until I feel like I might actually die. And sure, you might be thinking to yourself that dying is a part of every video game, and fair enough. If there is one thing I literally can not handle in video games, it’s dying.
