Nah, if you haven't played Dark Souls, than don't think about playing this game. Isn't for everyone, so don't think this game is one of the hundreds you've played. The story is interesting, but you'll focus more in how to survive than get to know the story. I deleted this game because isn't for me, I ain't gonna spend hours and hours in farming and then died and go all over the maps and farm again and and and again. I'm a causal gamer but I like to know the story and having some challenges. Like God of War but in normal.
