I personally went with a sword-slinging warrior class as opposed to a Copperfield magical mage, as I’ve never been a big fan of wizards and sorcery. Your strategy is your own, as is the way you shape the character that you are using. Where Dark Souls Remastered ultimately evolves the combat mechanic is in how everything that you face requires a tactical approach that you must mould towards. Yet the sacrifice of a shield, as a result, will see to it that your dodging game must be as sharp as a razor if you plan on staying alive. Grasping a long sword with two hands, for example, can dish out greater damage than when wielding the blade with one.
One thing’s for sure is that everything in your primary combat manoeuvrability has a purpose and utmost importance to handling the dire fate that lies ahead. Clearly, it’s not quite as merciful within its structure and there is much more variety for the hollow protagonist to play with. The game-changing Z-targeting system found in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time can be seen as the core underpinning blueprint to the combat in Dark Souls Remastered. The IP in question is none other than The Legend of Zelda series – or more notably, the favourite child, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, and the black sheep of the family, Zelda II: The Adventure of Link. One thing that did occur to me when delving into this hellish medieval land was that despite now being seen as a prominent genre of its own accord, this cultural phenomenon has more in common with a particular Nintendo IP than first meets the eye.
I have never actually played a Dark Souls game. With that said, I myself have fell victim to referencing the infamous series on numerous occasions. While this may sound like a bad thing, the fact of the matter is that creator and director Hidetaka Miyazaki’s most famous piece of work has been so incredibly influential, it’s impossible to avoid what has now become a common terminology in many modern games that entice such challenge. Dark Souls, the spiritual successor to PlayStation 3 exclusive Demon Souls, has a certain stigma to its name that has become clichè beyond repair.
