Reason for the Award for Excellence

This award was given for the ardent support for the high degree of difficulty of the game design that provides the fundamental fun and high feeling of achievement of an RPG, such as the tension of search through dungeons, the fear of running into an enemy, and the joy of a new discovery.

Work Introdution

Offer up your humanity
Dark Fantasy of Despair and Hope
 
The Dark Ring is testament to a cursed immortality.
And only chosen immortality is allowed for the pilgrimage to Lordran, the land of ancient kings.
 
This is a full-fledged action RPG in which the game design thoroughly pursues the fundamental fun and high feeling of achievement of an RPG, such as the tension of search through dungeons, the fear of running into an enemy, and the joy of a new discovery.
 
The player engages in sword fights with a high degree of freedom and emphasis on attacking and maneuvering set in Lordran, the land of ancient kings in a decadent dark fantasy world.
 
This title also has a unique network system where play can be shared for the shared experience of going on an adventure with other players without the need for direct communication.
