    What we thought
    Dark Souls is an unforgiving and refreshing game, in a time of regenerating health bars and hand holding game mechanics. Dark Souls offers none of this, it offers a heavy challenge and addictive gameplay if you can get over the steep difficulty curve.

Features:
  • Dynamic Player Interaction System:
    - A player‐directed hint system for collaborators & miscreants alike; see shadows of other players as they traverse the same roads and cross the same bridges in their own copies of the same world.
    - Activate memories of slain players to watch the last few moments of the poor souls' existence.
  • Conventional Cooperative Play With A Twist:
    - Join other players directly in their own worlds by offering your assistance. Or, become his enemy.
    - Place summon signs on the ground to invite other players into your world and the dynamic matching system will select a player who will appear to assist you. Non‐playable characters can be summoned for offline players.
    - Leave blood messages for other players to find, warning them of dangers lurking ahead or precious hidden treasures.
    Be warned! Messages can be a help or a hindrance!
  • Character Customization:
    Characters can be created from a highly detailed roster of ten different classes with multiple parameters:
    - Warrior: Fearless and dexterous weapons expert.
    - Knight: Solid armor‐clad character not easily toppled with High HP.
    - Wanderer: Agile, scimitar‐wielding character.
    - Thief: Guilt‐ridden character with a Master Key, inflicting critical hits.
    - Bandit: Has high strength and wields a heavy battle axe.
    - Hunter: Bow wielding hunter who can handle close‐range combat but is vulnerable to magic.
    - Sorcerer: Educates dragons and casts soul Spells.
    - Pyromancer: Casts fire spells and wields a hand axe.
    - Cleric: Pilgrim who wields a mace and casts healing miracles.
    - Deprived: Armed only with a club and a shield of old planks.
  • Carefully craft your player upgrades as this will determine your progression style.
