Title: Excellent Card Game
Review: While I’ve never played the Dark Souls video games or board game, I love the gothic artwork and story premise, so purchased this card game. I have played Bloodborne Board Game and was familiar with some of this games concepts regarding resting at the Bonfire in order to secure earned goods from winning battles.The high points of this game are the variety of battles, upgrading your deck by purchasing higher quality stamina cards, and facing the big bosses who take awhile to kill. I played a two player game which last about 60 minutes, and a 4 player game which lasted about 90 minutes. This game is fun and goes by quickly.Alot of creative thought went into making these big bosses unique and difficult to defeat. I really like the game, think it’s definitely worth the price paid, and would love to buy an expansion if I can find them at reasonable prices.Con: My only con to the game was that the backs of the cards are not easier to separate and recognize, so I was confused when learning the game. This could have easily been fixed by adding different colors to separate Treasure cards from Transposed Treasure Cards, Levels I, II, III Enemy Cards and Player Decks. If you’re unfamiliar with how this game looks and works, just pay attention closely to subtle icon differences on the back of cards, and of the little blue dots beside the treasure icon on front of the Transposed Treasure Cards.

Title: Intense Just Like Dark Souls.
Review: Takes some time to learn the rules but YouTube tutorials were really helpful. Lots of tension and tons of fun! Dark souls enthusiast approved.

Title: Easy Gamer Husband Gift
Review: My husband loves this game series. I am absolutely horrible at video games. It was a great way to connect and for him to teach me about the game without having to frustrate him with my horrible video game skills.

Title: A fun and fast paced deck builder!
Review: My order came on time and was in perfect condition. Really fun and easy to understand game, about 45-60 of play time excluding set up. It gives the feeling of tension and desperation of Souls games but in card form. If you like deck builders I recommend this game.

Title: Pretty nice, a little flawed, however.
Review: As a Soulsborne (Dark Souls/Bloodborne) fanatic, and avid player of tabletop games, I had to pick this up.It arrived on time, undamaged. I do have to condemn the packaging of the game, though. The packaging could be better, for the price. The issue I had with the Board Game (board game, not this card game) was that it had a lot of various kinds of loose tokens (and I mean, many, many token types), and all they gave you to hold them was a single ziploc baggie, which is a joke for the MSRP of $129.99. It would be annoying to dig through a tiny bag for a single token each time you needed it. Let me give an example. Bloodborne: The Card Game was only MSRP $39.99, but had slots for all cards and tokens that fit perfectly. This card game does not follow that, once again, they only provided you a ziploc baggie for all the tokens. The cards don’t have plastic slots to ‘lock into place’, unlike the Bloodborne card game, but rather crudely cut sections of cardboard, that at time, are hard to get cards out of. Considering this was a complaint people had with the board game, you would think that the creators would fix it for their card game. (Dark Souls: The Board Game’s creators are the same as Dark Souls: The Card Game)The game itself is fairly easy to learn, although setup and put-away time is pretty long, but the gameplay itself is fun, and filled with death, tears, and despair, just like dark souls. The art on the cards is pretty nice, although most of the items are icons from the game itself, or carried over from the Board Game. It’s not very enjoyable for solo play, and I say that as someone who plays Dungeons and Dragons solo all the time. I play with a friend over skype, using a webcam to video-chat the game table. When playing with others, it’s significantly more fun, and can get a lot more chaotic. The more players, the more complex and varying the gameplay can be, so with just one player, it’s pretty boring and gets stale quickly.Combat is usually players scrambling into place for attacking and defending, and when a boss encounter comes up, if the players want to survive, they have to remember the boss’s attack patterns (the bosses repeat the same set of attacks). Regular mobs can kill the entire party as well, if they’re not careful enough, but are generally easier to get into position to counter. But that’s pretty much Dark Souls, so I enjoy that mechanic very much.The box itself is nice and solid, along with the boards, sturdy and glossy, and let me tell you, it looks amazing on my game shelf. The cards and rulebook had a really nice new book smell, which is always nice.tl;dr- Overall, this was definitely worth the price, the gameplay is fun with multiple people. The inner packaging is poor, but isn’t a major issue.

Title: One of the best co-op games I have ever played.
Review: Bought the Dark Souls Card Game 2 weeks ago and my husband and I immediately had to order both expansion packs. I don’t play the Dark Souls video games so this is a great game for me to enjoy something that my husband loves. Highly recommend to wives.

Title: Would purchase again
Review: Ordered for young adults that were interested in the series. Have only started playing game once and did not have time to finish, but they enjoyed and are looking forward to playing again and learning more as they go. Game is nicely presented and packaged. As with any pricey card game, I recommend placing cards in individual sleeves for protection (very inexpensive) and help game hold its value.

Title: YOU DIED
Review: If you’re a fan of the Dark/Demon Souls games and love co-op card games, this is a must buy. It’s every bit as deadly as the video games and beating a tough boss by the skin of your teeth is still as adrenaline inducing as well. The rules could be a bit clearer in some areas but overall it’s a great game.

Review: Für Dark Souls Fans ein muss. Für Brettspieler bzw Spieler die in diesen Genre unterwegs sind empfehlenswert.Die Regeln selbst wenn sie auch englisch sind waren für mich leicht zu lesen und verständlich.Ich persönlich finde es auch besser als das Brettspiel.

Review: The book it comes with is hard to follow past the board set-up. We needed a youtube video to learn how to play the game. Takes forever to set up and learn but once you do it’s very fun, and it’s made very well!
