Brutal, but fun

You will die a lot. There are countless FAQ's and youtube clips of the best ways to start out in this game. Use them, and it will make the beginning much easier. That is really what is so daunting about this game. You have no idea what to do, where to go, or how to overcome a steep difficulty curve. Learning from others helps ease you in a little bit. This is true of the first world boss. He is incredibly difficult wihout prior knowledge of tactics and his weaknesses. Once you know what to do he is a cake walk.

Also, pick the Royalty class. It is the strongest starting out. You can go be what ever you want as you level but their OP magic with a regen ring makes the first couple of levels easy. You can more slowly learn the sword/shield mechanics that way.

Be patient and learn your surroundings. It quickly becomes absorbing.Read full review...

You are going to die.

welcome to demon souls a game made well-known due to its rumored crippling difficulty , and let's get this out of the way now YOU WILL DIE.

Story:
This game revolves around you, make a backstory for your character if you will but as far as i know the story is..you are a knight who heard of a kingdom enshrouded in a great-fog. No one has entered the fog and returned to tell the tale but in said fog lies a world filled to the brim with demons, undead warriors, and humans turned into puppets. undaunted by the mystery behind this fog you enter it, and whether you make it back or not is up to you.

Gameplay:
gameplay-wise demon souls is a combination between western rpg's such as diablo and action-adventure games such as to some extent uncharted ( but without the guns and set in the middle ages).as far as rpg's are concerned you start the game with a selection of about 12 classes . these classes will just determine the stats you start with and you will have the ability to manipulate them as much as you want. yes you can turn your mage into a warrior or even better you can make a mage that has the magic abilities of a mage and the physical strength of a warrior.

aside from the intro levels you will spend your free time in the main hub , within said hub are five stones that give you access to five different worlds. from that point your progress through different parts of the world in a level-progression style. for example world1-area 1 is refereed to as simply 1-1. all 5 worlds have 5 areas and they will test you, this game does a good job of changing the pace and providing visual tweaks to environments. You should never become bored of the environments demon souls.

sound wise this game is amazing...there is VERY little music and none except during boss fights in the normal levels. but you will here your sword clang as it clashes with the cobblestone of the castle, and hear your arrows as they penetrate the skin of an enemy. Every sound matters in demon souls, and some will send you into a panic while others will make you appreciate the environment even more. the blow of the wind through the empty halls of the castle just further reinforces what this land was and what it has become.





multiplayer: the multiplayer of demon souls i fantastic, during the singleplayer oyu are a lone warrior but with the use of stones other players can offer their services to assist you at nearly any time. to invite them into your world you look for blue writing and accept their offer to help. considering the difficulty of the game though having two allies doesn't ensure victory by any means .

overall demon souls is an amazing rpg, that while having very little story manages to still immerse players in its world. It challenges you and forces you to learn how to survive, you may have assistance but the greatest help you can get is to make yourself stronger. at some point you will become a badass of your own and you will not only enjoy the difficulty , you will love it. and once yo ureach that enlightened state of skill , i promise my friend your knight will be the first to emerge from the fog.Read full review...

Demon's Souls is a game you come back to

Yes, the title says it all. Game is hard because there's a huge learning curve. I died many times in the game, but I still came back to it. You just have to be patient and learn from your mistakes. This game is going to become hard to find, so if you are looking for some challenge then this is it. Game visuals are simply beautiful and it never gets old. If there's one word I can use to describe this game, I think it would be satisfaction.Read full review...

One of the best, if not the best RPG

Undoubtedly, Demon’s Souls is a classic and in our book, the best RPG title on the PS3 so far. Even with the crazy difficulty and the lack of any real story cut-scene, the game has a distinctive charm that make gamer want to plough on even when they’ve been killed for the umpteenth times. In fact, the game’s level of difficulty has successfully made leveling-up a genuinely challenging and enjoyable experience; instead of the mundane button-smashing ordeals in many other RPGs.

In addition, Demon’s Souls is coupled with an interesting worldview, carefully thought-up exploration areas, unique enemies, and a customization-based leveling-up engine that literally gives you the freedom to use unlimited fighting style. Most importantly, Demon’s Souls is genuinely enjoyable from start to finish – and that speaks plenty amidst the assault of game titles we get nowadays.

Move aside Konami, Capcom, and Square Enix. From Software has just become the first game developer to score a Perfect 5 out of 5 with Demon’s Souls on the PS3Hyper Review. Now, we demand a sequel, and quick!

This game is available for sale in my eBay store at a good price:
