Dark Souls

"Dark Souls" is built around deliberate, punishing combat and exploration:

• Combat: Weighty, stamina-based, and precise. Shields, dodges, and parries are essential.

• Estus Flasks: Healing items that refill at bonfires, creating a risk/reward system.

• Bonfires: Checkpoints where you can rest, level up, and restore health—but enemies respawn.

• Souls: Used as both currency and experience. If you die, you drop your souls and must recover them.

• Permanent Deaths (for enemies): Kill some enemies enough times and they won’t respawn.

• Multiplayer: Unique online features—summoning other players for help or invading their world.
