Why you should buy Dark Souls?

Dear residents of Gamer.ru, I would like to tell you about a wonderful game called [Dark Souls](/games?search=Dark Souls).

"I'm having for whom the bell tolls

Oh, I'm a seller of souls"

- Van Canto

Sell your soul.

Why should you buy the game?

Well, first of all, it’s an RPG. Secondly, it’s a great RPG. Let's take a look at this game.

1. Character

"I am the Alpha and the Omega, and I am cooler than everyone else" (c) Cool Player.

The entire game is balanced around the hero; you can be a strong warrior, a fast archer, or a wise mage. Each will require its own tactics, equipment, and leveling. You can choose a character at the very beginning of the game that is already somewhat leveled in certain stats, but how they will be in the future will depend only on you.

An assassin can become a warrior or a mage, and a mage can become a strong warrior; there are no restrictions in character development. Everything will depend only on your wishes and desires.

But your decision also affects your character's life, as enemies come in various forms. You will have to develop tactics against them; for some, they will be easy, and for others, not so much.

2. Enemies

"Wow, a dragon!" (c) Dead Newbie.

You need to know your enemies! And you will have many... no, no... not many... A LOT!

Running, jumping, crawling, biting, flying, and all sorts of other enemies await you. Even an ordinary chest can attack you!

Since there are so many enemies, hitting them must be more fun? Of course, you should first prepare, as enemies will resist you.

3. Equipment

"I am beautiful" (c) Beautiful Player

To fight, you need weapons, and to avoid dying quickly, you need armor. There is plenty of that in the game as well. And it’s all quite well done. To suit every taste... swords... rapiers... spears... bows... you are in heaven! Of course, weapons have a habit of breaking (and if you hit them against a wall every time, they will break even faster), so you need to keep an eye on them and change them periodically since enemies may be stronger than you.

The armor is very well designed! Seriously, it looks beautiful, and you can feel it on your character. If you wear heavy armor, your character will move like a snail and, unfortunately, won't be able to dodge quickly, but you will have a chance that you won’t be knocked down or pushed back.

You will have to seriously think about what to wear and what to discard, which also depends on your character because if they are very weak, they won't be able to carry a huge sword and heavy armor.

4. World

"Ha ha ha" (c) NPC

The world here is huge and beautiful! When you go through one location, you can look down from some cliff... but could you have imagined that you would end up there in 30 minutes? You will visit every location more than once since at the very beginning of the game, you will not have any fast travel between locations.

You will also need to interact with this world and its local inhabitants... no, no, I'm not talking about enemies, but about NPCs.

There are many NPCs here, some you can help, some might be hostile, and some might sell you something, but most importantly, every NPC can be killed, but why would you want to do that?

Each NPC has their own slang and life story, and you will often encounter the same NPC. Some will wander from location to location and may even get into trouble.

The most useful NPCs for you will probably be the blacksmiths, as they can repair, upgrade, and even sell you something.

5. Multiplayer

"Praise the Sun" (c) White Phantom

Your character exists in their own world but appears as dead. You can revive your character with "Humanity," but there are pros and cons to this.

The biggest pro for you is an increased influx of souls (I forgot to tell you that the main currency is souls) and a chance to find some items.

You may also be joined by white phantoms (good players) who can help you in battle. Yes, yes, another player can join your game! But your world is only yours, and the fact that they help kill some monster won’t count in their world.

But the biggest drawback closes your advantages... in two words... Red Phantom. A Red Phantom is another player who has invaded your world with different intentions... to kill you and take your souls! So you should think about whether you can handle a Red Phantom that can appear at any moment or if you just want to run around. Everything depends only on you.

And so... my post has come to an end, and I hope, dear participants of Gamer.ru, that you liked it. Although this is my first serious post and I am not very strong in Russian and the Mighty Language, I do not expect much.

There is much more in the game than in this post, and there aren't enough words to describe it all, so it’s all up to you.

I wish you luck in your endeavors in Dark Souls.
