challenging quest. Additionally, there will be in-depth explanations

automaton. "On it, humans will find information about the upcoming

About
Demon's Souls
King Allant the XII, the last king of Boletaria, searched tirelessly
to expand his might. The Nexus, a great ice shrine nestled in the
mountains, bestowed the power of the souls onto him, bringing
prosperity to his kingdom. Still unsated, he returned again to the
Nexus, where he foolishly awakened the Old One from its eternal
slumber. This long forgotten evil, now wrought upon Boletaria,
plunged the realm into darkness and fog. A mighty demon horde poured
into the kingdom, devouring the souls of men.
Champions from other realms learned of Boletaria's fate and sought to
deliver the kingdom from evil; none would return from the cursed land.
Called upon by a mysterious maiden in black, you go forth, the last
hope for humanity in a place lost to demons and darkness...
Key Features
Ultimate hardcore RPG challenge -- In this brutal land, death is
inevitable, but not final. Combining the best features of an action
game and RPG, you'll slice, smash, shoot, and ensorcel some of the
most horrible, vicious enemies ever encountered. Are you strong enough
to face the impossible and win?
Groundbreaking online capabilities -- Network features go far beyond
any previous RPG, allowing players to leave hints for each other,
replay death scenes, cooperatively revive dead players, or invade
another player's game to wreak havoc. Not merely an add-on feature,
multiplayer options are vast, and uniquely focused on changing and
intensifying the single player experience.
Freeform and flexible -- The open-ended structure of the game means
that there is no single path, but rather a wealth of options. Set your
own pace and progress as you like. Build exactly the character you
want by creating a detailed avatar, nurturing the right stats, and
customizing your skills and equipment.
You act, the world reacts -- The World Tendency system changes the
aggressiveness of monsters and the rewards for killing them based on
players' actions. Different events and NPCs may be triggered, as
well.
