Then a monster can easily get closer to player and at the same time choose the path which has fewer harmful effects. If a gas trap is triggered, you can use a "danger" heat map. Another could be about proximity to health pickups, or proximity to cover, or proximity to open space if a monster likes to keep distance and shoot. For example one heat map is about proximity to player. It's really good at combining several concerns, because you can generate a couple of heat maps for different concerns and add them up. You only need to do the path generation once, and it scales very well with the number of monsters.Ģ. This has at least two notable advantages:ġ. Then a monster simply examines all adjacent squares and selects the one with lowest number. You can start with 0 at player position, and from that point use a simple floodfill algorithm, putting down increasing numbers with each step. Basically it's about generating a heatmap for all the squares on the level. Those with enough patience and dedication will be rewarded with the type of game we just don’t see much of anymore.A fascinating AI technique is used in one of the best roguelikes, Brogue. Demon’s Souls is difficult in the best way, much like some of the best NES and Super Nintendo era games were. Don’t let the difficulty factor stop you, either. Don’t let the fact that I didn’t finish it dissuade you from enjoying it.
It’s a beautifully crafted game that demands your undivided attention and forces you to recall gamer skills that you proably haven’t used in more than a decade. Would I recommend Demon’s Souls? Wholeheartedly. I just want to make it clear that my lack of preparation and patience is the cause for me missing the review time frame, and that the game is not at fault in any way. This is not a negative thing, and I feel like you’d have to play it to understand the depth of this statement. I’ve played some difficult games lately, but this is on a whole different level. Simply put, I was not prepared for the challenge Demon’s Souls provided. The amount of patience required to learn from your repeated deaths is immeasurable. You’ll have to go into battle fully prepared for all of the level’s obstacles. Much like the more challenging dungeon romps of our youth, Demon’s Souls needs you to know and expect what is coming up next. Enemies are in the same place, for the most part, as are obstacles and checkpoints. Things go down in Demon’s Souls almost exactly the same way they did the time before, when you died. I also didn’t place enough stock in memorization. The game also provides evasive maneuvers (backwards roll) and a shield that took me too long to put to good use.
It turns out that I should have used the aiming feature (R3) and battle strategy (like long-range magic attacks) instead. My desire to explore had me mashing the R1 button to swing my sword as quickly as possible, with the goal of taking down enemies as fast as possible.

While you have a sword to swing and full control of your character, mindlessly slashing away is a quick way to find yourself face down on the ground. So why couldn’t I finish Demon’s Souls? I think my main problem is that I played it like an action game for too long. I did this many, many times, losing everything I gained for sometimes an hour or more, starting over from the very beginning each time. But you can fail as many times as necessary, forcing you to start over from the level’s start each time.
In this soul form, you’ll have half the hit points you did as a living person, making it even easier to die again. You’re supposed to get up, dust yourself off, learn why you died there, and then come back in a soul form, doing your best not to die there again. If you die, you lose all the souls you’ve amassed. But you’ll have to make it out of each level intact to make good use of these souls, and that’s the real challenge here.
Become a warrior, fight enemies to get souls, get stronger. Collecting souls is the whole point of Demon’s Souls, an action RPG from From Software, published by Atlus USA.
