As always, the souls of fallen enemies serve as both the in-game currency and the only means of levelling, forcing gamers to choose between improving their character and purchasing vital items.Souls are hard-won but easily lost in Dark Souls II, thanks to strong enemies who capitalize on any mistake, and giant, brutal bosses who can kill in a variety of ways and break from attack patterns at unexpected times. Players create a character and allocate stats into a variety of base skills, then head off into a dark and incredibly dangerous world in hopes of ending the suffering of their cursed protagonist.

From Software's critically acclaimed and enigmatic action RPG series returns with improved graphics and sound and a greater focus on Covenants and online interactions in Dark Souls II.
