least genaus captivating as Demons Souls.

Oh, what made me (after a difficult start time) then pulled Demons Souls in its spell and excited for months, it was a regegelrechtes dive into this fantastic and challenging game world. But only downside was that I then no longer touched some games which I had started the same time as these made by this intense gaming experience no longer fun or were too little demanding.
So it was clear to me, Dark Souls is needed.

Dark Souls is the (unofficial successor) of Demons Souls a brilliant third person adventure game that was not meant for the European market, because this is very demanding and such games are usually being considered only for the Asian region.
Since this game was imported but hardworking and the demand it has been introduced but a few months later in Europe.
But do not worry, it is now not the case that this game is unfair, unplayable or just for hardcore gamers.
This in no case. There is so much more that you play wisely and must be aware of every step clear.
I would call myself an average player and I am very well have coped after a slightly longer period of familiarization with Demons Souls and after I knew about what happened to Dark Souls comes to me, this was not frustrating.
One should in no case after the start, it should even not going so well (see review on Demons Souls) be discouraged, but to play it wisely and consider apprenticeship until you realize that this is not about dull buttons press is.
It is only important that you understand that the game is not unfair and the prudent play is rewarded.
When you die, you are mostly to blame themselves and should be his choice of weapon or tactic think again.
The battles are as intense as in any other game. And proceed depending on the choice of character, armor ,, the weapon or the strategic, this will vary.
Because each of the many different weapons in use and the degree of injury should choose this intent.
So it is advisable for example to narrow passages with heavy armor the shield in the keep a hand to cover high and fast to collide with the other with the spear or the opponent to push down a slope.
Where it is contrary may be useful to take in open terrain against tough opponents a light armor with a large sword in two hands to slam the opponent to circle and powerful.
I could go on forever on about weapons that can be created with demon souls, Holy weapon or causing the bleeding, cursed weapons will help against ghosts ... I prefer to leave it
Moreover, it should diligently leveled up, forged weapons, improved, transformed, magic, miracles are learned, healed and collected.
A dream for RPG fans. You see there is a lot on offer.
From the unique atmosphere created the game and not to mention the unique nature and character throughout.

One does not necessarily have played the first part in order to understand Dark Souls because this is a standalone game that History is not linked to Demon Souls.
I must say that my Dark Souls seemed easier than Demons Souls, however, this may of course be that I by Demon's Souls now knew how the wind blows.

The Game:
You're as shell go an undead creatures which find by and used by humanity again the human form can attain. Although this brings some advantages, such as the call of other online players, a higher drop rate of opponents, etc. This holds, however, only until the next passing on (which can be quite short).
Compared to its predecessor, there is now savepoints, rested the so-called beacon to those leveled up, regenerated, can be learned and stored spell. In addition to leading healing potions with their number can be increased to beacons kindled by sacrifice of humanity.
Even if you do not believe it at the beginning but the vast and diverse game world is completely erbunden together and you create in the course of the game ingenious abbreviations, this creates an ingenious large, free feel.
The different game sections are different and beautifully decorated and provided with appropriate opponents that one feels transported into the respective world.
It's a dark world the cold and brutal appear, but always holds surprises and in many a dark hour you suddenly raised a tower and enjoy the beautiful light effect the last sunbeams that shine gently on the hard land and as a generate almost romantic mood.
This world is truly unique and so varied that it is easy to get lost in it.
So there are for example the dirty Schandstadt stop the force with their disgusting Mutant opponents, the poison mosquitoes, blood disgusting and poisonous swamp a almost to the air so much believed the game world this atmosphere.
But the opponents give best to create the illusion to get her upright so are these perfectly adapted to the levels and look beautiful to absolutely disgusting. In addition, each opponent has a different vulnerability and you have to choose a different strategy depending on the armor of rivals, so the armored wedge must be pierced, for example by the back or be lured with bait under a paragraph and then attacked with a case attack. By the way then you get with a little luck the head of the boar as a helmet.
Wherein, however, the best goes into combat against the Skeleton Knight and acting with raised shield and stabbing weapons.
But there is not only the standard enemies, but a plurality of intermediate and Spielabschnittendgegnern in which the vulnerability to be spied to stay afloat, even the bosses here are as unique as scary.
The struggles are demanding a drive the adrenaline in the veins and are more than exciting.
The game has so many secrets from a ring with which you can talk to the spider woman or the in place a secret door opens up to the immersion into the painted world of Anor Londo, find the great void or and of course avenge the the fire guardian.
Another unique feature is the join different groups (which is partly the online games involving), so it is possible the forest rangers to join in order to protect the forest, or to hunt oath breaker or to be opponents of dragon stones to kill slowly even to a dragon.
Of course, one must also online simply summoned to assist in a difficult spot or a boss ... Or one penetrates into a hostile world of men, and the winner gets humanity and and and
This game is so complex and alone to explain the various options and forge convert weapons would take tens of pages to complete.
Therefore be advised to inform themselves online something and the game often by being able to see as much as possible to play each.

Conclusion:
I did not think that I to Demons Souls also can be drawn from Dark Souls under the spell and I could not get out from the swarms.
This game is beautiful, mysterious, awesome thoughtful and intense as there are very few who can do with the genre something does not come around to this game!
You just should not be discouraged by the tough start and possibly get help online from questions.
I love it! Buy recommendation!
