Thats why people like this game, its beating the boss finally after it pummels you 15 times . You lose your souls when you die but you can get them back, but if you die again before you reach them then you lose them.
Had a quick go on sons, thought it looked very interesting so I got it! Alot of games make it virtually impossible to fail these days so looking to this as a breath of fresh air (hmm maybee that should have been blast from the past)
