At first glance, the game world of Dark Souls 2 almost resembles the first game. However, most of the game features that were previously always relied on by players, or made the game easier, have now been removed or completely overhauled to make them appear more challenging and difficult to predict. One example relates to the player character's condition as an "Undead" (Hollow). In the first Dark Souls players could explore the game world "safely" as Undead, without needing to worry about being attacked by other players. However, in Dark Souls 2, you can be attacked by other players even in Undead form.
There are no easy roads in the game world of Dark Souls 2. Apart from the dangers that always await players from all over the world, From Software added another penalty: The more often you die, the lower the total life you have. This means that players who often die in the game will have very little life, with a total penalty of up to 50% of the total life lost. And what's worse, in Dark Souls 2 you will DEFINITELY die. Fortunately, players are given the opportunity to heal their lives by using an item called "Human Effigy".
You can still invite friends to play co-op in Dark Souls 2. But players who join the game world have limited time; The duration of this time depends on how well your friends play. The more enemies your friends defeat, the less time they have. From the results of the beta game demo presentation released by From Software, Dark Souls 2 so far features six types of character classes: Warrior, Sorcerer, Soldier, Temple Knight, Dual Swordman, and Hunter. Each character appears with different weapons, armor and spells. The presence of Temple Knight and Dual Swordman makes Dark Souls 2's battle system appear more interesting. Players can now use two weapons at once and attack with good and correct movements, unlike the first Dark Souls where the second weapon only functions as an "addition".
Players who are playing Dark Souls 2 for the first time will realize that this game has used an updated interface system. You can now manage your inventory easily and access items in various categories. The player character can use three types of weapons at once, such as a combination of swords, sticks, arrows, shields, and so on.
Dark Souls 2 also presents a new attribute system, namely "Agility". From Software explains that this Agility attribute will affect the speed of the character's movements in dodging, defending, and other actions. Apart from this, a new item called "Witching Urn" can be used by players like a magic grenade. This new item changes the way of playing, encouraging players to find new tactics and strategies in fighting. There's no denying that Dark Souls 2 is a "similar but not the same" type of game. The changes and new features in Dark Souls 2 lie in the details of the game that affect the overall playing mechanism. However, the concept of the game world and the storyline of this game are more or less similar to the concept of the first Dark Souls.
