About Eldest Souls

About this game

Depths of the Forgotten - FREE EXPANSION

Eldest Souls now includes ‘Depths of the Forgotten’: a free, major expansion that introduces a new and perilous region, three new bosses, a selection of special weapons, a weapon customisation system, and an all-new, obliterating ability.

Entrenched within the very bowels of existence, far removed from the moon’s pale radiance, rots an ancient abyss: The Forgotten Depths. It is as these unfathomable reaches, that Eksyll caged those that no longer served his abysmal purpose; a general with naught to command; an heir of crippling malcontent; and a King, consumed with the elongation of his own hollow existence. The very world, and all within it, had long forgotten these forlorn souls, until now…

Step forth into the void once more, brave warrior. For the deepest depths are calling, and froth with the bitterest vengeance.

About the game

Following centuries of servitude, Man finally rebelled against the Old Gods, imprisoning these colossal calamities within the sacred walls of the Citadel.

But an evil stirred within...

In a final act of vengeance, the Old Gods have unleashed a great Desolation upon the world. Mankind is fading, with but a glimmer of hope remaining.

Heavy is the burden that lies on one lone Warrior. Armed with a greatsword… of the purest Obsydian.

Challenging Combat

Eldest souls doesn't really vibe with me personally but that doesn't mean it's a bad game. I am not one to spent hours memorising attack patterns and trying to win a fight that is stacked against me. I wanted to try the challenge but have to admit that i was just frustrated by it in the end. It often feels unfair, especially because you have to hit the bosses countless times to kill them, but can be killed by only one or two his yourself. Players always looking out for hard games might have a blast with this one, i sadly didn't.
