Prepare to Die!
To prevent the coming darkness, a curse has been unleashed upon humanity. You are chosen undead, bearers of the curse, and it is upon you that the fate of this world rests. Will you forever join the Soul of Cinder and prolong the torment or usher in an age of humanity where the curse of undeath is at last lifted?
Dark Souls is a cooperative dungeon crawl board game for 1-4 players. To win the game, players must work together tactically to learn how to defeat enemies before finally confronting the boss. Players will find specific attack patterns and weaknesses of the enemies, but they will have to be careful.
If a player's character dies, the game does not end, but starting over comes at a cost. Each time a character falls in combat, the whole party must return to the bonfire, and all enemies reset. Use your resources sparingly, learn quickly, and prepare to die.

Dark Souls
My boyfriend has had his eye on this game for a while. He recently played with my brother and loved the game! So this is bought for an early Christmas present! Thank you

Dark Souls is pretty sweet
The game is pretty fun and harsh, and the minis are incredibly detailed. Good price too.

Jolly co-operation!
If you are a fan of dark souls at all you will have fun playing this. The quality of the miniatures and boards is great, I had a couple with some bent weapons but they weren’t that bad. I have started painting the pieces and they are not miniature game quality but still very good for a board game. Gameplay wise this game is HARD. With 4 people our first run was about 3-4 hours with set up and we did not manage to defeat any bosses or mini bosses. Still it was a lot of fun, and one of the people playing doesn’t know anything about dark souls and still have a good time with the game itself.

Nice minis and very tough, as it should be
If you like the videogame you will probably like this. There is some variation game to game as the enemies you face are randomized and a few different bosses you can encounter. Alot of repetition as you will have to fight those enemies multiple times to gather enough souls to level your characters up to be able to equip the really good gear. That being said, it is fun to fight and learn your enemies move sets to be able to blaze through them faster the next time. My only real complaints are the bosses directional abilities are very confusing starting out and the difficulty of this game ramps up A TON the more players you have. By far best when played with 2.

Great game despite being very pricey
Gameplay: Feels like Dark Souls, especially the boss fights. Definitely the game's strongest quality. Quality: The miniatures look great, though many of my miniatures came with bent weapons and bases. This can be fixed easily enough, but I'd rather not have to considering the price. The cards feel a little cheaper than I would like, but sleeves should prevent most wear and tear. Price: Very high, even factoring in what you are getting. Similarly priced miniatures games like Imperial Assault provide more for your dollar, though I like the sculpts a bit better in this game. Value: If you love Dark Souls, have the money, and don't want something else more this game is worth purchasing. Though there are some quality issues, the overall product is a faithful enough translation to warrant your time and money.
