Demon's Souls

This is an action role-playing game in which players attempt to save a medieval kingdom from a demonic curse. From a third-person perspective, players explore ruins, castles, and caverns while battling fantasy creatures (e.g., demonic creatures, dragons) in frenetic melee/ranged combat. Players use swords, spears, arrows, and magic to kill enemies; some weapons allow players to perform finishing moves that depict impaling and/or stabbing, with occasional slow-motion effects. Combat is accompanied by cries of pain and large blood- splatter effects. One sequence depicts animal corpses strewn around a cave, with visible entrails. Cutscenes also depict violence and blood: a ghoul impaled by a falling gate; a demon impaled by a lance.
