01Overview
Dark Souls is an action RPG developed by FromSoftware and set in the decaying kingdom of Lordran. Players control the Chosen Undead, a cursed warrior who travels through ruined castles, underground cities and other hostile areas while uncovering the history of the world. Combat is deliberate and demanding, with stamina management, positioning and timing playing a major role in every encounter. Weapons, armor, magic and character stats can be customized to support different builds and playstyles. Lordran is built as an interconnected world filled with shortcuts, hidden paths and difficult bosses. Online features allow players to leave messages, summon others for cooperative play or invade another player’s world for PvP, adding an unpredictable multiplayer layer to the single-player journey.
