Dark Souls 3 Gameplay and Character Creation

Are you the type to barge into a fight, guns blazing, only to die and repeat the process until you win? Well, with Skyrim’s loading times and basic combat system, there isn’t much dying to do. Dark Souls 3, on the other hand, lives to kill you. The Kingdom of Lothric is in peril as the First Flame is slowly dying and the Prince refuses to do his duty to relight it. You play as The Ashen One, an undead soul brought back to life to perform the fire linking ritual in the Prince’s place. To do this, you must travel the kingdom, kill the creatures that are rising in anticipation of the First Flame’s death, and light all of the fires you come across. You can find a variety of ranged and melee weapons, equip unique armours, and fight horrific monsters using a dynamic and specialized combat system.

How it’s like Skyrim: Customize your character and choose which skills you want to focus on as you progress. Explore a (uniquely dark) high fantasy setting killing monsters.

How it’s Different: You only encounter a few NPCs, the game is more combat and exploration focused, with the goal being defeating the boss at the end of each area rather than chasing quests.

Face off against epic boss characters with unique move sets and abilities that will test all of your skills.

Sometimes hanging back is your best strategy, because Dark Souls is designed to punish you for rash decisions.
