Dark Souls: The Roleplaying Game review
After more than a decade since the launch of Dark Souls and Demons’ Souls on PlayStation 3, it is rare to encounter casual gamers who haven’t heard of this legendary franchise. Known for its soul-crushing difficulty influenced by Kentaro Miura’s manga, Berserk, and the idea that determination eventually triumphs, From Software’s Dark Souls series has left an indelible mark on gaming. With complex lore, formidable bosses, and crumbling grandeur, games like Dark Souls, Bloodborne, and Elden Ring are renowned for challenging and puzzling players. Given the immense popularity of these games, it seems a no-brainer that a tabletop roleplaying game set in this universe would be an instant success. However, Dark Souls: The Roleplaying Game by Steamforged Games faces some daunting challenges of its own, including a few particularly formidable foes.
