Demon's Souls is an upcoming console role-playing game by From Software. With a dark fantasy theme, the player will set off into the heart of Voletaria, a kingdom of warriors that was destroyed after the appearance of beasts and demons. The game is described to be a spiritual successor to the King's Field series that was on the PlayStation 1 and 2.

Stage progression and battles are both very difficult, and it comes down to trial and error. In addition to all that, character development and item purchase both use the same thing (Souls) and there are no recover points in the middle of stages, so I came away with the impression that the game is really strict. The online portion is unique and interesting in that you can see impressions left by strangers. 7

There are screens where you will die over and over, and it's the type of game where you advance through trial and error. As an RPG, the battles are numerous... BUT... as you progress in the game you start to realize the variety of enemy attacks and the bizarre stage design and the game becomes very deep. If you want to try a particularly deep RPG, then by all means try this!! 9

Extremely difficult. It has a certain fascination in that you have a feeling of accomplishment and want to keep trying just one more time. Saying that, you have to use "Souls" to both strengthen your character and purchase items. This is severe enough, but on top of that the game gives you no hints and the game is just too stoic... 6

A game where death equals nothing. It shows From Software's true worth. I felt like it was a game that offered no compromise nor concern, but if you fall to hell you can see a little bit of heaven. ... (the rest was too blurry for me to read) 7
