if no on9.. i'll pass-out this game also..

better wait for WKC~Henshin

mmm, i saw the preview for WKC...not as good as Demon souls. I also thinking which one is better.

both good la.. trust me..

Actually it's pretty simple. He has a few basic attacks if you're within his melee attack range. Try to memorize his moves. He has 2 types of shield slams and a single lance attack move.

R3 analog comes in handy. Target either one his feet first. If you see that he's going to use his lance, charge towards him by pressing down the X button, you'll be amazed that your character can actually run sideways in a parabola fashion, passing his large shield. Give it a few whacks on the foot. Continue the same with the other foot.

Try to stay behind him, his shield slams can't hit you from behind. Just be aware that sometimes he jump backwards, so should prepare to back jump as well after landing a few hits. After getting both his feet, he will fall to the ground. Make sure you run away when he falls coz' him landing on you is as painful as it gets. Aim for the head, and use R2 heavy attack. 3 good attacks would wipe out a lot of hit points from him.

Repeat and he should be down in 2-3 rounds.

Just a question, i just notice that if i use my US account, i will have to start all over again from the start without my current save game. Anybody can confirm it. I am currently playing using my SG account , anybody here would like to play together ?

flamelurker demon boss hard as hell hahaha.. super fast and raging like FF ifrits... hahahaha maybe not time yet

Hm. How do you get pass the door after beating the Tower Knight? Requires some Giant soul or something...

Currently playing like a chicken, lol. Scared to lose my soul again since now I'm back to human form.

incx, since you've completed WKC before, which do you think is nicer? This or WKC?

If that's the case, I'll just write up a short review about this game, for the benefits of those who's in doubt of getting this game.

I'll break it down into a few sections, like they always do.


GRAPHICS - 7/10
If you're looking for fantastic graphics, then you'll be disappointed that this game may not be up to par. Seriously, when I was watching some of the videos on youtube, I was actually thinking twice whether I should be getting this game because it looks so dull and plain. However, playing and watching it is a totally different story. Dungeon and world details are decent, but the boss' designs, they can totally rock your socks off.

I would have given it a 6 if it's not because of the monster designs. Otherwise, there's no load times during gameplay (a definite plus plus), although there can be framerate slowdowns when there's too much going on the screen at one time.

And if I were to compare it to White Knight Chronicles, there's seriously a big gap between these 2 games in term of graphics. WKC is definitely better.


GAMEPLAY - 9/10
If you're the kind of gamer who wants an easy going game, this is definitely not the game for you. I don't have to elaborate that since everyone here already know how it's like. You can see the frustration of some of LYN members here yourself. Just be prepared to die a lot of times in the beginning, and going through the frustration of starting all over again.

Otherwise, you start off by creating a character of your own. Character creation is o-kay. Not as bad as Fallout 3 but not as good as WKC. A decent one. However, there's many classes for you to choose from, each with their pros and cons. They are no tutorials in this game, so it's all try and error. Learning curve takes about an hour or so.

The menu is simple and the controls are easy to manage. Camera angles are pretty good, not much of an issue here.

This game uses a currency called Souls. Basically you go around the world killing demons and gathering souls, which you use them to upgrade weapons, buy items, buy magic skills, so on and so forth. If you lose in battle, you'll lose all your Souls. However, you get to redeem them back by going back to the spot that you died in game, there will be a patch of blood (your character's blood) on the floor, click on it to reclaim the Souls back. If you die before getting back to the spot, then that's the end of your Souls. Start from 0 again.

Generally, this game requires you to kill Demons by thinking strategically, level up, get new items and hunt for minerals for upgrades until you've killed them all.


STORYLINE - 6/10
Nothing new. You're the hero that saves the world from the Demons.


MULTIPLAYER - 7/10
I'm sure most of you are interested in this mode. It's a unique and interesting mode to play with, but you'll have to accept the new concept here. Before the start of the game, you'll automatically be logged unto the server if you're connected to PSN. Once you're in the game, you don't actually see characters in the game with you. You'll see "Phantoms" running around. Phantoms are actually other players who are playing the game the same time as you are. They'll appear a while in game and disappear. Having these phantoms around actually gives you some clue on where to head on next.

Players who died in game will leave a pool of blood as well. You can view how they died by touching their blood, so gives you clues on what to be done and not. You can also leave messages or hints, vice versa.

Now, the fun part is that there's an item that can be collected, which allows you to summon other players from their game to join yours. But that last only a while. So they're usually summoned during boss encounters. I'm not sure how many can you summon in game, but I've summoned at least 2 person to join me in battle before.

You can't chat in game. No text or voice chatting. You can only do gestures, similar to WKC. Otherwise, even bring up the gesture menu is a hassle. You have to press the O button for at least 2 secs before it pops up.

The drawback of this is that, if you're half way battling a boss, and Streamyx decides to give you trouble, you'll automatically be disconnected from the server and you have to start the battle all over again. Otherwise, you can opt to play offline.


REPLAY VALUE - 8/10
I'm sure you would want to try out other classes as well. This game is definitely worth your money since you can spend loads of time on it.


OVERALL RATING - 8/10

That's all I can comment about it at the moment. Hope this little review works for you guys.

incx, brilliant review. thanks a dozen. seems like this game is good and from your review, i guess the difference between WKC and this is that...WKC is prettier, better story but the boss fights are not as epic and might not have that good replay value?

and WKC is more for people who do not have very good patience

how to kill the blue dragon... she keep wagging her tail and sleeping there... cant target her watsoever..... and i cant open the gate after the tower knight as well..... giant demon soul? hmmm......

my demon ownage so far, in order of slaying:

phalanx
spider armor
idol's fool
tower knight
red dragon

pending: flamelurker, blue dragon

it's so hard to find the "chunk of hardstone"... still missing one for my sword upgrade.... sigh.....

one thing i noticed.... i left messages as hint for other players, if they rate ur message, u will b notified and ur HP will max out instantly!!

this game sounds boring if u rush....if u take ur time its beter..but so many games coming out....i don thiink replay value high lor...

ps: was thinking bout getting it...bt smtg holding me bac

where is the phalanx? I reach the bridge with the dragon.. did i go too far?.. I am tempted to replay to try and kill the vanguard..

Edit: Phalanx downed!
