Today, we’re venturing into the dark and punishing world of Demon’s Souls, the game that laid the foundation for the Souls-like genre. We start by exploring its troubled development, from its rocky start at FromSoftware to how Hidetaka Miyazaki rescued the project and reshaped it into a unique, challenging experience. Then, we’ll dive into its innovative mechanics, including methodical combat, cryptic storytelling, and an unusual multiplayer system inspired by a real-life experience. Finally, we’ll reflect on Demon’s Souls’ legacy, from its influence on Dark Souls and Elden Ring to its lasting impact on the industry. So, steel yourself for battle and join us as we step through the fog on today’s trip down Memory Card Lane.
