The game definitely has some appeal. And for a free game, its nice. But as far as "souls-worthy" goes, it falls flat. The controls and gameplay are clunkier than Dark Souls 2 was originally and it feels like the framerate is always stuck under 30, even though my iPhone 6 can play several other more graphically impairing games on at least 30 fps. The gameplay so also really repetitive. There is no tactical dodging like in actual dark souls, you just roll forward. Bosses are pathetic. Its a nice free promotion, but not one that really holds up to Souls game standards.
