Ever since the reveal of Team Ninja's game, it became an instant meme regarding the overuse of Chaos. Now here I am, facing off against Chaos, and boy does Jack love to say it! Early comparisons to games such as Nioh or Dark Souls have been bouncing around the internet for a while, especially after the demonstration versions of the game have been released by Square Enix.
However, this isn't a fair comparison in my view as Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin stands out on its own two feet; the only thing I see that ties this to anything souls like would be the cube system that replenishes health and revives most enemies that you've defeated. What you get your hands on is a competent action game that will have you hacking, slashing, and chucking spells to your heart's content. Yes, you can block attacks, dodge out of the way, and even parry, but you can do those things in other titles that aren't labelled as soulslike.
