Engage in realistic melee combat against overwhelming odds, defeat powerful enemies, and confront the fate of your own cursed existence.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Your character will be able to toggle between bone and sand forms, unlocking different combat capabilities and puzzle solutions as a result.<\/p>\n<p>In a world of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/games\/ps3\/dark_souls\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dark Souls<\/a> clones, the combat looks fast-and-frenetic, as you take on multiple enemies at once in that traditional God of War style. You\u2019ll also unlock various skills which will allow you to further refine your approach.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s no release date attached to this just yet, but everything shown thus far looks absolutely fantastic.
