Playing as an unnamed hero afflicted with the disease, you must explore Lordran while searching for the truth behind their humanity. Our story begins with humanity struggling from a mysterious disease that resurrects them upon death and slowing begins to rot their mind.

In short, Dark Souls takes place in a fantasy world once ruled by dragons, but at the start of the game, the dragons have been destroyed and the world has been overtaken by four legendary creatures.įueled by icons of power known as the “Lord Souls”, these four ancient beings have begun to lose their hold on the world, as humans begin to rise in rank. This lack of clarity adds another element of surprise and suspense to the experience, as you're rarely sure what will come next. Apart from an opening cutscene that sets the stage, most of Dark Souls' story must be gathered from investigating the environment, talking to various NPCs, and reading item descriptions.

Taking place in the dreary yet evocative world of Lordran, players must navigate a deadly world full of horrifying monsters and seemingly unbeatable bosses. Dark Souls is a crushingly difficult third-person action game developed by FromSoftware and is a spiritual successor to their popular title, Demon's Souls.
