by Deathsitexxi Wed Dec 26, 2012 2:44 pmI nomally put up really heavy and long posts in the archives so I thought I'd change it up a bit =) Has anybody noticed that Dark Souls is like an upgraded or even evolved version of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (Dracula X)? My wife during Christmas has been going through her bi-annual tradition of playing through of C:SotN when I noticed it. I’ll make a list of some of the similarities I noticed below.
Anor Londo looks like Dracula’s Castle.
Open world-esque with knowledge of the area determining the ease of your play through (short-cuts and all)
Some enemy similarities
Main goal very similar. A.k.a kill master of the castle.
You won’t see everything in your first play through because it’s a lot of knowledge based details and exploring.
It’s not very substantial and honestly Dark Souls draws a lot of inspiration from many different sources, but I bet Miayzaki was a big Castlevania fan =O I could just be seeing Dark Souls in all the games me and my wife like XD
