The Kingdom of Lothric is plagued by the absence of its Lords of Cinder, fallen heroes who once linked the First Flame. A lone Unkindled must now hunt them down and restore balance to the world by returning the Firelink Shrine's thrones.
Dark Souls III is the fourth entry in the Souls franchise, with references to previous entries scattered throughout the game. This installment builds upon the series' core gameplay while incorporating elements from Bloodborne . Players can choose one of 10 classes and customize their character's appearance before embarking on a journey that requires strategic blocking, dodging, and counterattacking.
The game offers a high level of replayability through its extensive array of weapons and armor. The level design features interconnected paths and secrets, while the covenant system and multiplayer mode return from previous Souls games. A new addition to the series is the Weapon Arts system, which allows players to master specific stances for each weapon and unleash special movements by spending FP points.
