It really isn't. It is all very well for a Dark Souls veteran to complain about it being easy after they have played through the Souls games countless times, but most people have not.
It isn't meant to be hard, it is meant to be challenging, which it is. If you do not guard/roll at the right time, or wear the wrong armour or attack at the wrong time, you will likely be killed quickly. After hundreds of hours in the Souls games it is bound to seem easy, but then most games would.
LOTF is good game but it could be much better I hope there'll be a sequel,and then they'll polish it more.Story so far is **** I'm going to change to Rouge cos Knight is blady slow...
I agree that it could be better, but you have to cut it some slack tbh. It is the developers first effort at this type of game, and the balance is so crucial to a game like this that there are bound to be teething problems.
I also hope there will be a sequel, as I look at this as a 'learning the ropes' game, and I think they will learn, and create a great sequel. An expansion for this would be nice too, as it is a bit small. I think it is important that this game does well imo, as it is really the first 'Souls-clone', and I really hope that becomes a new genre.
Edit- Btw, if you want to respec, it is easily done, but you have to collect an item in a secret area(accessible in the first area) and use it at a specific area. I respecced to a Rogue at NG+ after playing a Warrior for my first run. Also, you get to pick a new magic tree for NG+
