Dark Souls

1 story
At the heart of Dark Souls are stamina-based combat and shield blocking, two systems that define how its Soulslike action role-playing game plays. The campaign follows Chosen Undead and Gwyn Lord of Cinder across Lordran setting and Age of Fire conflict, connecting personal stakes to the wider conflict.

The design also makes room for dodge rolling, parry and riposte and covenant system, giving players several ways to refine their approach. Relevant coverage includes release updates, combat or progression guides, platform behaviour and retrospective assessment of Dark Souls.
