Let's Try Demon Peak - Giant Guardian Cat!
I've tried a couple games that look like or claim to be Dark Souls but 2D and most of them have failed in some way. Demon Peak however seems to succeed where the rest flopped. The combat is tight, the difficulty is on point and the enviroments are beautiful!
