Knight of Nevermore is an Indie, Action RPG Sidescroller with random dungeon levels and Dark Souls like combat.
Knight of Nevermore is good.

Dark Souls Like Combat:
In a 2D sidescroller format: yes.
Like in Darks Souls and other Soulslikes, Knight of Nevermore has a stamina system, adding depth and impact concerning which abilities you use in battle, as both your attack, and your dodge roll have a stamina cost, not merely a cooldown, encouraging smart usage depending upon the foes you’re facing, as opposed to just using reflex timing and cooldown rotation.
Your block also cost stamina when you absorb a strike, adding additional depth towards which tactics you use to overcome your many monstrous foes.

Knight of Nevermore also has a mana system, much like Dark Souls itself, and many other excellent soulslike games.
Here, the mana determines use of your power attack, which varies depending upon your equipped weapon, and which spells you have found.

Knight of Nevermore understands that the meat of the game here is engaging exploration and impactful combat, which serves to add even more depth and meaning to the player’s made decisions, like any good soulslike should.

2D Darks Souls Like + Random Dungeons?
Yes!
The dungeon in Knight of Nevermore is made with procedural generation, so you will never know exactly what is down the passage or behind the next door, or which item awaits you in the room.
This adds a massive amount of replayabiltiy to the game, helping to prevent that feeling of knowing what is around each bend, and adds unpredictability and excitement to repeat dungeon runs.

There are many side passages in the dungeon, doors in the background which lead to new rooms, making the game feel bigger and more immersive.
There are many room types: fighting rooms, armories, shops, markets, shrines, libraries, item rooms, vaults, treasuries, and more!
The libraries have a spell in them.
While the armories have a pick of 1 of 2 weapons from what I saw: the rapier, or the greatsword, with both having a different attack, and power attack option.
The item rooms have passive, yet powerful items that buff your character for the run; fun.

Controller Support is present, and good, which is very good, as Mouse and Keyboard control is flat out not an option here, only two hands on keyboard.
So, unless that is your preference, I foresee a gamepad in your future.
Due to the above, I went with a controller here; which felt good in this 2d sidescroller.

Note: This is the demo version of Knight of Nevermore and thus any encountered bugs or other oddness is not representative of the final product.
Still, Knight of Nevermore is offering a fun, Indie, Action RPG Sidescroller with random dungeon levels and Dark Souls like combat: Knight of Nevermore is good.
Watch, and see the good?
