However, the company has developed multiple video games that arrived long before its big bet on souls.

This new version only allows enter the first area of the adventure, nothing else. Even so, it contains improvements in gameplay, weapons, spells, combats against enemies, dismemberments and much more. All this without losing at any time the essence of the original title with that pixelated touch, with the possibility of interacting with objects in the form of traps, barrels, characters, chests, etc.

Still, what's surprising is that there was only one person behind this project, which shows that FromSoftware's legacy is enormous.
