Sword Sage: Awakening Hands-On: A Breezier Kind of Soulslike

Sword Sage: Awakening, developed by Sword Panda Games and published by 4Divinity, is a breezier Soulslike action-RPG starring Pei Sanniang, a disciple of the Yuangong Sect who hunts yaoguai from Chinese folklore. Its combat replaces standard rolls with Evade Cyan dodges and Strike Red counters, and broken weapons can be reforged almost instantly. XP comes from quests and defeating yaoguai, automatically converting into merits spent on a skill tree.
