http://www.preparetodie.com/en/What is Dark Souls?Dark Souls is a hardcore hack n slash RPG similar to Monster Hunter combat but with a difficulty similar to the old days of the NES era. Die in 2 hits from pretty much everything and even get 1 shotted by bosses, take a wrong turn and run into a monster 50 levels higher than the place you are currently in, die and go back about 30 minutes, lose all your XP, and reset all the monsters. Discover secrets items by beating bosses in unique ways or exploring the areas, level up your character and find new gear.
Dark Souls Multiplayer?Dark Souls has a unique multiplayer system in that you can summon other players to help you at random, you can't just invite a friend to play with but you can exploit to get you and your friend together. Also People can randomly invade your game at any time and kill you or you kill them. Players can leave little hints on the ground too that other players can see while playing alone, but be warned every game has its trolls and what looks like a helpful hint could actually be a trick to get you to Self Delete.
I just bought the game last night and have been playing it ever since. I never played Demon Souls which is the games predecessor. I think I have died at least 100 times and I am only about 30 minutes in the game if I were to not have ever died, but it took me like 5 hours to get there. The game is very unforgiving, even just little zombies or skeletons that die in 2 hits can end up wrecking you if you forget to block or walk into a room and get ambushed. You can fall off edges with ease or even get knocked off. Bosses can be deceptively easy but until you figure them out you will die countless times without even landing a blow in. Over-all I love the game and wonder if anyone else has it?
tl;dr Imagine Monster Hunter with a Diablo type theme and the difficulty of old NES games with a unique multiplayer system and deep RPG system.
