Dungeon Souls is one of those instantly-accessible, immediately fun-to-play games. Choose a characer and fight hordes of enemies to survive as long as you can while looting tons of equipment along the way.

Controls are very responsive and each character offers a unique gameplay experience. I found my favourite in the Thief. Coupling his high-rate of attack and critical damage chance with items that fan the area of impact with flames is fantastic fun. Certain requirements are needed to unlock other characters. Unlocking and rambling around with the slow, but powerful Necomancer, buffed with a demon eye that attacks enemies automatically and minions to swarm my enemies was also a joy.

Being a rogue-like game, there ought to be enough variety in gameplay and equipment to keep you coming back. This is certainly the case: enemies are fairly diverse and loot adds very interesting, powerful effects that make you want to come back to discover more. Unlocking characters is definitely something you'll want to do too, because they add a significantly new dimension to your dungeoneering.

In short, Dugeon Souls is just as fast-paced, frantic and enjoyable as the videos portray.
