After some initial delays, Dark Souls II was released worldwide in March 2014, with an updated version of the game, entitled Scholar of the First Sin, following in April 2015. As with it’s predecessor, Dark Souls II received critical acclaim and widespread praise for it’s atmosphere and visuals, and equally polarized criticism over the new game’s increased difficulty. Dark Souls II retains similar mechanics from its predecessors in the Souls series. Being known for its difficulty, both bosses and standard enemies have the potential to kill the player in only a few hits. The game uses a form of joint currency called “souls”, which are used as both experience points for leveling up and also as currency for purchasing items from shops. Upon death, the player’s entire collection of souls are dropped; the player can recover their dropped souls by returning to the spot where they died, but if they die before picking them up, the souls are permanently lost.
