Eldest Souls wears its influences on its sleeve. From its story, to its combat, to the general atmosphere of the world, the game is not afraid to mimic From Software's iconic series. Prepare to die again and again against larger-than-life bosses.

Combat is simple and controls are tight. The Shard and Infusion systems help to create a build that matches your playstyle. The only enemies in the game are the bosses of each location, which can make the overworld feel a bit empty. Eldest Souls is a little on the short side, but it's overall a great experience.

100%: The hardest achievements by far are completing the game deathless and beating each boss hitless. With enough practice, you can get a feel for most attack patterns. Some fights, such as Eos, are absolutely rage-inducing to try and complete without getting hit.
