Steamforged Dark Souls The Card Game: Core Game

Product Information

What’s most disappointing about Dark Souls: The Board Game is that despite the major gameplay missteps that make it an ultimately unenjoyable and unsatisfying experience, there are the buds of several smart and innovative ideas buried beneath the surface. Seekers of Humanity adds in the Warrior and Cleric as playable character options, taking the total available to choose from to 8. The Cleric and Warrior are similar to the Herald and Knight from the core set, with the Warrior dealing slightly more damage with slightly less defense and the Cleric offering different healing and defense options. They don't add much individually in terms of variety for the game but do allow you to produce a more focused party. For example, in a 4-player game, taking the Warrior, Knight, Cleric, and Herald allows you to deal a lot of damage, with a huge amount of healing ability. So for that, they are very welcome additions. These are the paths, shattered and crumbling, which have fallen from memory and sight of the Flame. These are the paths, dismal and cursed, where traps and ruin lie around every corner. These are the paths, chilling and treacherous, which are paced only by the monstrous tread of things best left forgotten.

The starting bonfire card and the third bonfire card / A higher level treasure card from defeating a boss and a standard treasure card.

To aid you in conquering these trials, this expansion also includes brand-new, powerful weapons and equipment as well as providing two completely new characters to play, the Pyromancer and the Thief, both of which bring their own play style to enhance your Dark Souls experience. What elevates Dark Souls: The Card Game, in my opinion, is its much more liberal use of the Dark Souls franchise’s massive amount of gear and items. Despite exasperating presentation elements, the game itself is frustrating in the right, Dark Souls way. The barely-wins with your last card are exhilarating; the near-losses are infuriatingly fun. There is freedom to explore the game the way you want to, and you can even attempt the boss fight in the first round if you dare. But, in that case, you’d better prepare to die. It therefore becomes a see-saw game of chance where making it through to the main boss relies primarily on pulling the right treasure cards early and being able to level up towards those, or risk having to sink souls into drawing random items until something somewhat achievable is revealed.

Dark Souls is well known for its unforgiving difficulty and dark shadowy theme. With the Dark Souls Card Game, which takes the character classes and bosses from Dark Souls III, fans of the video game will not be disappointed as the theme is spot on and the difficulty is so frustratingly beautiful, you'll be inventing new swear words. Just like its predecessor, Dark Souls: The Card Game can be particularly brutal. Death happens often, and at times without warning. The good part is that full games rarely go more than 60 minutes, so you’re less likely to feel like you wasted your time if a game ends badly. Steamforged Games The myriad forgotten paths of this sprawling world are legion, each one branching out into a thousand others. Many of these paths are peaceful, untouched by the wars that rage around them. This journey, however, will take you to far darker places.Missing out on the fight means sacrificing the chance to get more blood echoes by damaging monsters, the main way of chasing victory. Like the video game, timing is everything; warping away can lose a juicy bounty, but waiting too long could cost you everything you've earned so far.
