Try to Get Psyched for 'Dark Souls III' With the Tie-in 'Slashy Souls' Mobile Game

Darkness is closing in.

'Dark Souls III' is on the horizon (April 12th), and the game promises to be excellent. And yet, for anyone who wants to spend a little extra tiem thinking about the game, Bandai Namco and Gamestop have come up with a iOS and Android game that has some of series' trademark elements.

That would be 'Slashy Souls'. It's a 'Dark Souls III' themed endless runner that features a eye-taxing darkness mechanic and some frustrating controls on my LG G4.

No really, the art is fun, and there are lots a familiar enemies to find; however, jumping is a bad way to negotiate the tough environment and a constantly darkening screen makes me feel like I'm going blind. Some updates could do the game wonders. (Check out the Android version here and the iOS version here.)
