Dark Souls II Gameplay Videos Arrive: Praise the Warrior, Sorcerer, Temple Knight and Dual Swordsman

And the sun, if you have enough praise left.


Four new gameplay videos for From Software’s upcoming hack and slash dungeon crawling RPG Dark Souls II have been released, showcasing gameplay with the different classes from the game. These include the Warrior, Temple Knight, Dual Swordsman and Sorcerer, each displaying the different playstyles you can take up during combat.

While short, it does give a very quick look at the differences – while the Warrior can use his shield to block the devastating blows and then counter attack, the Dual Swordsman has double the attack but must dodge and avoid enemies’ strikes. Plus the Sorcerer can use magic – bet you didn’t see that coming.

Check out the different gameplay videos below.

Dark Souls II is the follow-up in From Software’s critically and commercially acclaimed series. With a new pair of directors at the helm, Namco Bandai is looking to expand the game for veterans while creating enough accessibility for newbies. It will release on PC, Xbox 360 and PS3 in March 2014.
