With only four hours of Dungeon Souls under my belt, I’m by no means a master of the game. Despite that, Dungeon Souls is awesome. I’ve caught glimpses of this game before I even heard of it from big-time streamers. Dungeon Souls is a Rougelike in a Zelda-like top-down perspective. To me that screams the awesomeness of old games like A Link to the Past, so to see a style of game like this was pretty cool. Here’s the catch; you die? Back to square one. To be honest, that’s what really got me frustrated until I understood that was the whole point.
You have a decent cast to choose from. If you’re a person that loves to go head-on and plow through enemies, go ahead and pick up the Barbarian. Picking people off from a distance and raining death upon them? Archer is the way to go. If you’re a sneaky little dude or lady that likes to assassinate enemies with your skills and stay in the shadows, don’t worry they’ve got a Thief just for you. Rumor has it you can unlock a few more cool characters but I can’t seem to get anywhere productive in all of my noobishness.
Our Barbarian has the Skills :
Axe Swing : CD of .6sec
Shout of Rage: CD of 15sec
Thunder Axe: CD 15sec
Our Archer is pretty accurate and can shoot many arrows:
Arrow Shoot: CD of .33sec
Pentuple Arrow: CD 12sec
Rain of Arrows: CD 18sec
Thief has some mad bombs and can turn invisible:
Dagger Throw: CD of .17sec
Thief Bomb: CD of 8sec
Invisibility: 14sec
I personally had the most fun with the archer. Going from portal to portal and just raining arrows as soon as they spawned. You usually have to unlock 3-5 different areas to open the portal to the next part of the dungeon. If you don’t get to your portal quick, fast, and in a hurry, a big dude shows up and simply stomps you out of existence. I’ll be playing Dungeon Souls on and off because it is a fun game, I just suck at it. Thanks so much for a new style of game to try and I look forward to learning more!
