We aware of the squid-like guards in 3-1 then, they can OHKO with their Soul Ray spell. The Legion in B1F can also OHKO with the same spell, plus if you get into melee range, it's dozens of arms will rip you apart xD

The game is far from the typical JRPG formula. It's more of a mixture of slower paced Ninja Gaiden action game, with RPG mechanics and WRPG character growth, as you can develop each individual stat for your character.

The most similar game that could be compared too it's a much, much, much harder and slower-paced Kingdom Hearts, or the King's Fields series if you know what they are.

This game doesn't actually compare to Dragon Age Origins, since it's completely different, be it in terms of gameplay, in story flow (as there is only two cutscenes in the whole game, and no blatant storytelling in Demon's Souls, rather, you'll learn the story through NPC interations and things that you'll learn in the worlds themselves).

Dragon Age Origins is your typical WRPG game (and I'm not using Typical as a derogatory term, it's the best WRPG game I've played this generation, to me it's the spiritual sucessor to Baldur's Gate, and that's says it all), while Demon's Souls is a game, a genre that can only fit to itself, as it breaks almost all of the typical molds that are commonly associated with WRPG's and JRPG's.
