Sounds like another Soul's Like or Souls Clone. I'll keep my eye on it.

Last night, I got caught up watching Cohh try and fail numerous times and finally succeed (2 hours later) in beating a boss called "Viper". From what I understand, the parts in between bosses aren't great, but the bosses are, and a game built mostly around tough bosses isn't for me. But it is fun to watch, and looks pretty cool for those who are more into boss runs than I am.
The demo didn't click for me, but the reviews are very positive so far. It's at 94% on Steam right now.
It's a souls like, @Couchpotato you will hate it.
I beat Viper last night. It took about 45 mins. Very tough boss. I noticed today they released a patch that nerfed him. I'm currently stuck on Volbaino, the boss right after Viper. As mentioned above the bosses are where you'll spend most of your time. (at least that's how it's been in the early game) The areas in between are pretty linear and much easier. There are some branching paths to offer some exploration, but it's not a strong point.
Where the game shines imo. is the combat. It can be played more souls style, More Sekiro style or a mixture of both which is kind of unique.
Overall the game takes from a number of souls likes. You have DS stamina based combat, Bonfires, stat leveling complete with weapon scaling. You have Sekiro's parry combat, complete with the Mikiri Counter with the flashing symbol. You have some NIoh with selecting moves at level up and summoning revenants to fight to farm if you wish and lastly the graphics and what they use a bonfires gives me a Lords of the fallen vibe except for the characters that are cell shaded.
I'm really enjoying the game, but I will say it's either a tad on the too difficult side or maybe my skills are just diminishing with age. 45min plus per boss is a tad on the too long side for me.
