Game Sequence of Soulsborne Release FromSoftware

If you hear the word FromSoftware, of course everyone's minds will immediately refer to the Soulsborne genre. Yep, the developer managed to spark a new standard in this industry through its "hardcore" genre.

FromSoftware and the Soulsborne genre

FromSoftware is a game developer from Japan. At first the games they released were not immediately categorized into the 'soulsborne' genre by fans.

The genre got its name from the first Souls game released in 2009 and was followed by several other games that had similar gameplay, stories, and atmospheres.

Soulsborne's gameplay usually offers a high level of difficulty, in which the player has to face strong enemies, traps, and dead ends.

Players will often die in the game and have to return to the last checkpoint to try again. However, the player can also collect resources such as money, weapons and other items during the gameplay.

Basically, these titles tend to be more genre-oriented RPGs. Therefore improving character and abilities through training and collecting items are also the focus of the game.
