>>That's what Heise thinks. Other sites have shared their opinion and disagree with them, so it's open to interpretation.

 

MODS/EMULATORS

This Dark Souls mod lets you play the whole game as your favorite boss
https://www.pcgamer.com/this-dark-souls-mod-lets-you-play-the-whole-game-as-your-favorite-boss/
Three years ago, a mod team by the name of Datehacks released a Dark Souls boss arena mod which, using the leaked debug build of the game, let players control their favorite bosses and slaughter hapless NPCs. At the time, Datehacks couldn't manage much more than staged boss fights, but now the mod team is back with Age of Fire, a revamped mod which not only lets you play as every enemy and boss, but take them anywhere.
Age of Fire is still a work in progress, but it's already capable of much more than the boss arena mod. According to Datehacks' Reddit post, the finished mod will enable players to play as any enemy in any area. The best part is that size doesn't matter: even in tight areas, you'll be able to play as giants like Seath the Scaleless thanks to some camera tricks. I don't know about you, but I cannot wait to see people blast Sen's Fortress to hell and back as Seath and Ceaseless Discharge.

>>Follow how the mod advances at Reddit.
