Who would have thought in 2009 that a game on the PS3 would create a whole new genre. Sony didn't even envision it, because Demon's Souls on PS3 wasn't released by PlayStation makers outside of Japan. Now, more than ten years later, Demon's Souls is back for the PlayStation 5.
Demon's Souls is an action RPG game that was the brainchild of Hidetaka Miyazaki. The idea was to create a game where players were given a minimalistic explanation of the world and its mechanics. As an adventurer, players must work their way through the deadly world of Boletaria. If the player dies, they have to start the game again from the beginning.
Curse of Darkness
In Demon's Souls, the player's task as an adventurer is to free the kingdom of Boletaria from a dark curse. Game Demon's Souls certainly won't disappoint players from the first moment, because after a simple tutorial they will immediately be faced with a big boss that can destroy players. Boletaria will be an exciting place to play as long as players are willing to pay attention and learn the mechanics. After the tutorial is finished, the player will not be explained anything more and the adventure really begins.
In Demon's Souls there will be five different worlds and the Nexus as the overall connecting space. Players always have the choice of which area to explore first. Various locations full of secrets to discover and various types of enemies that can result in players finding death with a few hits. When a player dies, the progress that has been made at that level will automatically be lost except for items.
At each level the player collects items and souls. With these souls players can improve characters in Nexus. Players need more souls to upgrade skills. In addition, players must first learn skills according to the goals they want to pursue.
Deeper Game Mechanisms
If players take a close look at Demon's Souls' game system, they'll quickly notice that the mechanics are implemented much deeper. Therefore, discovering new elements in the game can be quite exciting, even if only for minor elements, such as discovering how Equip Burden works or something else. However, having to find so many mechanics will not appeal to every player. Information obtained from other players is not always correct. Players must adjust their playing style to run this game.
Every Level Is Equally Difficult
Each level in Demon's Souls is difficult, but very challenging to beat. World 1 is difficult because players will often fight with annoying dragons who always burn every bridge that players will cross to continue the adventure. Then in World 2 there are enemies that are resistant to most types of damage.
World 3 is a maze that players can get lost in and protected by guards who can kill players with just one or two hits. Then there's World 4 which adopts a fairly aggressive frame that can stand up to most types of weapons besides sticks and hammers. As well as World 5 which offers a variety of enemies that are easy to kill, but will surround players and launch fast attacks with wild patterns.
Completely New Experience
For the most part, the 2020 version of Demon's Souls is very similar to the same game for PS3. That's understandable, of course, because many fans expect as few gameplay adjustments as possible. The biggest changes can be found graphically. This once again shows that Bluepoint Games is a master when it comes to providing a whole new gaming experience. On PlayStation 5, the Demon's Souls game looks stunning thanks to its original 4K format in Cinematic Mode which, in combination with HDR, is able to bring every grisly detail to life from Boletaria.
Bluepoint proves that Demon's Souls was deliberately made so that players can enjoy a perfect view with 60 fps screen quality. Running, fighting, and shooting are as smooth as hot knives sliding through a box of butter. Various additional features are also provided, for example the DualSense feature which will allow players to experience addictive gameplay like never before.
Demon's Souls is a really cool game that is really fun to play. But maybe the level of difficulty will make players feel afraid when they start playing it. Demon's Souls isn't always difficult if players are willing to take the time to discover gameplay secrets (and Boletaria). Gameplay at 60fps will basically make players amazed and as if challenging to try again. When the player finally succeeds in defeating the boss in an epic manner, of course the player will feel very satisfied.
