DARK SOULS 3 AGE OF WATER SERIES
Then they'll stumble into another location with incredibly powerful enemies that rank among the hardest the series has yet generated. Some areas (and bosses) are easier than you'd expect for a Souls game and may lull the player into a sense of false confidence. The maze-like world through which we travel - while often just as elaborately laid out and as fun to explore as in past games - has a handful of areas that just aren't much fun thanks to their dull, open structure. It helps that the combat - now bolstered by a new weapon-arts system that sees each weapon given its own set of special moves, adding to an already hefty number of options available to players in battle - is tight, tense, and rarely anything less than thrilling, especially when you're going up against super-powerful and highly dynamic boss characters.īut there are a few chinks in the armor. Players who stick with it will die countless times, but with each hard-earned victory, every new bonfire, and each seemingly tiny step of character progression, they'll feel like they've accomplished something worthwhile, something that not every gamer has the fortitude to do. It's a brutally challenging and thoroughly unforgiving experience but also one with a capacity to imbue a sense of achievement uncommon in modern games. Players familiar with previous games in this franchise or last year's Bloodborne know what they're getting into with this extremely difficult game. Add to this the lack of a map to help navigate the labyrinthine world, an inability to pause, and an automatic-save system that ensures every decision the player makes is irreversible, and you have an action role-playing game designed only for players possessed of a deep tenacity. More than that, all defeated enemies will respawn, and all progress will be lost.
But should they die - and, given the game's difficulty, this is bound to happen often - they will lose all the souls they haven't spent to level up their character. Characters level up and become more powerful through the acquisition of souls collected by the creatures they defeat. It's designed to be challenging in the extreme players begin with minimal equipment along with low attributes and performance statistics.
Known only as the Ashen One, this hero's objective and duty is to see to the destruction of the imposing Lords of Cinder to prevent Armageddon. DARK SOULS III sees a lone adventurer wandering through a fallen and deserted kingdom now populated only by a variety of evils, including shambling undead, dark knights, and massive beasts.
