BACKGROUND
King Allant the XII, the last king of Boletaria, searched tirelessly to expand his might. The Nexus, a great ice shrine nestled in the mountains, bestowed the power of the souls onto him, bringing prosperity to his kingdom. Still unsated, he returned again to the Nexus, where he foolishly awakened the Old One from its eternal slumber. This long forgotten evil, now wrought upon Boletaria, plunged the realm into darkness and fog. A mighty demon horde poured into the kingdom, devouring the souls of men.
Champions from other realms learned of Boletaria's fate and sought to deliver the kingdom from evil; none would return from the cursed land. Called upon by a mysterious maiden in black, you go forth, the last hope for humanity in a place lost to demons and darkness...

- The game is said to be a spiritual successor to FROMSoft's King's Field series.
- The player assumes control after an extensive character customization; male or female.
- There are 10 starting classes/job classifications to choose from: Soldier, Knight, Hunter, Priest, Magician, Wanderer, Barbarian, Thief, Temple Knight, and Aristocrat. “Starting” because over the course of the game they can be evolved into any amalgam of other classes as seen fit by the player. For example, a melee class, like the Barbarian, can eventually become a spellcaster. Class also dramatically affects your starting appearance, as it determines all of the weapons and armor you’ll start the game with.
- Weapons: swords, axes, clubs, maces, bows, crossbows, and so forth. And within each class of weapon lies a healthy variety as well. Take, for instance, swords, which can range from nimble blades like a dagger, scimitar, or rapier, to larger ones like bastard swords, claymores, and flamberges.. All of these can be upgraded via collecting souls.
- Character growth is also carried out by the collecting of souls, so choose wisely!
- There is a New Game + option when you beat the game. Typical New Game+ features apply.
- There are two versions of the game: standard and Collector's. The Collector's Edition will cost $10 more and includes a 150-page guide book along with a slipcase that will house both the game and guidebook. This edition is only available to U.S residents, although both versions will net gamers an artbook and a bundled soundtrack
