Death’s Gambit is effectively a beautifully animated 2D mix of Shadow Of The Colossus and Dark Souls. Just let that just sink in a minute….
In the game you play an agent of death, on a medieval alien planet, full of beasts, knights and massive SoTC-Style bosses. As is Dark Souls, there are no easy kills in this game, with each enemy you encounter being a unique hack-and-slash puzzle to solve. You’ll need quick reflexes and quick thinking if you’re going to survive in this beautiful and deadly world.
Interestingly, the devs have come up with a unique way of signing up Beta testers for Death’s Gambit. During their regular Twitch Streams, they will throw out a micro demo containing ‘Über hard’ monsters. The first person to defeat the monsters and post a screenshot here will be added to the list for playtesting the full game. If your skills aren’t up to the challenge, you may still have a chance of getting into the playtest with some awesome artwork, or by being making positive contributions in the forums and Twitch.

Dark Souls isn’t about being über hard. It’s about trial-and-error. but I get your point.
Sure man, just to clarify it’s not Death’s Gambit that’s ‘Über Hard’, just the micro demo that you have to defeat to get into the play test. The comparison to Dark Souls is because every enemy is a complex hack-and-slash puzzle that requires quick thinking and strategic combat to defeat. :)
