First half of The Surge–otherwise known as Junkyard Souls

In the world of the Souls-like, I have tried many–oh, so many–with dismal results.

She had thoroughly trounced the Ivory King with the help of her four Loyce Knights, and she only had one goal left in the DLCs*: beat Sir Alonne solo. Shocked and… Continue Reading
