Armed with one or two handed weapons, bow or wand, your aim is to defeat your enemies. The gameplay expresses the struggle for survival in Dark Souls 2. Simple equipment is repaired at the campfire, but most enemies also return. Once activated, you can relax or travel to another campfire. Ĭampfires are both spawn and transport in the world of Dark Souls 2 They can be found scattered across the level. These potions can be found in the game or can be bought from merchants. Death is relative in Dark Souls 2 though: With special potions you can get your life force back. Parallel to this decline, the maximum life force is gradually reduced from death to death by half. Meat falls from the bone until eventually only a skeleton remains. After each death, the character loses some of its humanity. This is not only annoying, but also has consequences. One false step, an overlooked monster in a dark corner or the brute force of an all-powerful Boss depletes your life force in a split second.
There is one thing that's easy about Dark Souls 2 - it is exceptionally easy to die. The fact that most of the enemies you've already defeated are alive again, makes this considerably more difficult. You die on the way, and the souls are still lost forever. There is one major snag with the souls: if a villain kills you, the souls are lost. With souls you can level up or exchange them for medicinal herbs, pieces of armor, or weapons. Instead of the usual experience points, the player earns experience by killing monsters for their souls. There's only a very short tutorial that newcomers to Dark Souls 2 can (maybe) get their questions answered. One false move and you end up dead - if you're not careful you'll be devoured after the first few steps.
That's where the similarities with other RPGs end. First, you build the character by putting various character customizations together, once you've got the height, build, and hair color set, you then choose a fighter class. Dark Souls 2 starts off in a way that's not all that unusual for an RPG.
