The Game:

Beautiful, compelling, and unforgiving, Demon/s Souls is the hardcore RPG experience PlayStation 3 owners have been waiting for since the platform/s launch. Revolutionary online features support your adventure like never before, presenting seamless interconnectivity that serves in every instance to enhance the single-player game. Team up with other players in simultaneous cooperative play, working together to topple some of the game/s colossal bosses, or force your way into the games of skilled players and challenge them to PvP battle.

Leave hints and clues for those who will follow in your footsteps; either intentionally or through your own inadvertent demise, your bloodstains will allow your successors to view a replay of your death, hinting at how to avoid your gruesome fate. Unprecedented in its depth and subtlety, peerless in its relentlessly challenging gameplay, Demon/s Souls is the ultimate action RPG.

Story:

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...

Features:

*The 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.
The cult hit that has swept America and Japan is finally released in Europe, but will you be up to the challenge of this stunning action role-player? Many heroes have already fallen in the battle to save the kingdom of Boletaria, but with a little help from your friends you can make the difference.

Rise to the challenge in this award-winning spectacular

Master a variety of different weapons and equipment

Every victory helps customise your character further

Heed the warnings of online players as you explore

You/ll have to carefully plan your every move though, in one of the most demanding games ever made. Luckily help is always at hand as fellow players leave clues and warnings on how to tackle traps and monsters, or join you online to aid in battle.

Your own actions will determine the level of challenge too as the game tracks the morality of your choices and your character is constantly upgraded with new equipment and abilities. The penalties for failure are harsh but the rewards for persevering create one of the most rewarding games of recent times.
