Demon's Souls (RPG)

Anyone heard about/played this game? It's supposed to be similar to Oblivion except in a darker, gothic type setting. I don't know too much about it other than it's supposed to be pretty difficult and I had to order it from china(not out in US). Anyway, just seeing what everyone knows/thinks about the game...


Here's the trailer:

Nope, play-asia was backordered along with every other site that imports games(that I know of). I had to get it from egay.

I will def. write a review when I get the game.

Wangan Midnight? is that a part of the TXR series? I loved those games...

[Spectic Tank]

Just looked up Wangan Midnight. I guess it's not part of the TRX series but is published by Genki. It was backordered everywhere I looked (couldn't check play-asia/egay though)...


How is it? is it in engrish?

no english audio, but some of the menus are in english... play it enough and you'll figure out where everything is :goodjob:

Finally got this game in...and it definately lived up to it's hype. I'm at work now so I can't really write a good review, but here's a clip of eurogamer's review(they gave it 9/10):


Eurogamer writes: "Demon's Souls is absolutely compelling; dark, detailed, unforgiving, creatively cruel. It gets under your skin and becomes a personal obsession, daring you to probe further into its worlds, fall for more of its traps and overcome more of its impossible challenges; it slaps you in the face with your own incompetence and dares you to overcome it.

It's stoic, uncompromising, difficult to get to know, but also deep, intriguingly disturbed and perversely rewarding. You can learn to love Demon's Souls like few other games in the world. But only if you're prepared to give yourself over to it".

There is a link to the full review on that website^^

I believe the only place to find this game 'In-stock' is now Ebay.

Is it in English?

The asian version has english voice and text. The manual is in chinese(with and english insert for basic controls).

The japanese version is NOT in english.

The Wiki page breaks down the different versions and their language:

It's a Western style RPG much like Oblivion. It's more focused on combat than Oblivion was.
