Demon’s Souls is a fantasy action RPG games that developed by From Software for the Playstation 3. With a dark fantasy theme, the game was described as a spiritual successor to the King’s Field games. In the game, players can customize their own characters by setting the name, gender, hair style and other characteristics. Players will face against a variety of beasts and demons, making use of a variety of different weapons. After a player is killed, they become a Soul, and continue playing, though with less health. After defeating a particular demon or using a particular item, the player is restored to life. Souls are collected through collecting the souls of dead soldiers and heroes, as well as siphoning energy from enemies killed in combat.

These Soul Points can be exchanged for equipment or to improve player stats. The hub world that takes place between missions is the Nexus, was a small area where the player can interact with NPCs, shop, and store equipment. The game world is divided into five stages, which will be accessible via portals. The game includes integrated online features. Players can find messages on the ground containing hints and advice that other players have left, as well as bloodstains where other players have died which allow them to view how those players’ deaths occurred.

Ghosts of other players currently in the same stage also appear randomly, though no interaction takes place. Co-operative play allows three players to team up and play through different levels in the game through Soul Links, until a demon is defeated, when the Soul returns to life. In competitive play, a player who is a Soul can force themselves into another player’s adventure, where they’re known as Black Phantoms, and play against their opponent. If the Black Phantom kills the other player, the Phantom is returned to life in their own game. If the Black Phantom is defeated, a portion of the invading player’s souls is transferred to the victor.
