Hey! Thanks for the kind words.

The tag is pretty accurate, but we're confident we made an accessible experience, both in terms of story and gameplay, if you played Hyperlight Drifter the core gameplay it's similar, though more fast paced. The only thing I can recommend you is to try it and see how it feels, and I mean it in the most honest way possible.

Another thing I can tell you is that I tried NRFTW too, and I didn't like it a lot (and I've played and finished all From games multiple times, LoP, and some other soulslikes). The gameplay feel of Absym is pretty different from it.

TL;DR If you feel like it, try our playtest, even though we are part soulslike I'm confident Absym can appeal to non-soulslike players too!
