Demon’s Souls, initially developed by FromSoftware in 2009, pioneered the Souls-like sub-genre of action RPGs. It essentially crawled so its spiritual successors (Dark Souls series and Elden Ring) would run, creating a surprisingly vast fanbase.
Sure, Dragon’s Dogma can boast its fearsome firebreathing fiends, but Demon’s Souls has an actual Dragon God for a boss battle. Featuring crushingly difficult foes, a brutally oppressive atmosphere, and a nigh-unforgiving death mechanic, Demon’s Souls will surely deliver Dragon’s Dogma fans the hefty challenge they seek.
