Dark Souls: Prepare to Die – RPG on the PC

After Demon’s Souls for PlayStation 3 and the original Darks Souls edition only playable on consoles, Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition finally brings the unforgiving fantasy RPG on PC.

Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition for PC has the advantage to include three new areas compared with the consoles versions: Royal Woods, Oolacile Township and wilderness Chasm of the Abyss. Although it has been designed for PC, this game includes a control scheme that can be used on a game-pad, using traditional methods (keyboard and mouse) – definitely not recommended.

Obviously, the medieval story will put you in a world outside time and space, populated by monsters that you can’t even imagine and a few other survivors that you, whether cooperate with them or kills them – in fact, the game doesn’t really care. It depends on what you want, your hero wants, if any shred of humanity has left in you, so emaciated and red (I apologize for the hard words. This is the reality).

Only 10 minutes have passed on the game, and you are already dead: Dark Souls does not give a damn about the idea of a tutorial, although the first moments seem to be that way. But when you come across a monstrous guardian about 10 times bigger than you, so you will panic and will start to find a way to escape, not to try to kill the big monster.

You will find yourself in the situation to enjoy the fact that you come across a zombie and get the possibility to smash his head or manage to get rid of a rad radioactive debris only to come across a pack of hungry wolves. The unpredictable is the word that characterizes the best game.

As I already said above, besides the porting, the full version of PC has the advantage to include three new areas, where those who can get so far will have plenty of monsters and others to kills. Allow me to present you the new areas: Royal Woods, similar to another area, Darkroot Garden; Oolacile Township puts you to climb endless towers: Chasm of the Abyss is the exactly dangerous wilderness that its name suggests.

Surprisingly, Darks Souls has an online component where players can leave messages on the floor, and these will appear randomly in the game. Warnings or simple jokes can raise your hair on the back for good, while classic multiplayer mode puts you face to face with ghosts. In fact, this game happens something quite interesting: the other players will try to kill you or help you, depending on individual goals. That’s the main purpose of those random messages. They will be clues for you to discover who is your friend and who is your enemy.

It’s hard to have consistency when it comes to Dark Souls – it begins a lot like Lord of the Rings, continues atrociously, but many players will throw this game into the basket without patience and skill. It’s really not fair. It’s a game that should never die.
