The Dark Queen of Mortholme is a clever narrative-driven adventure where you are the final boss in a Dark Souls-esque action RPG and must face a hero who keeps returning after each death.
In The Dark Queen of Mortholme you are the titular Dark Queen – the most powerful being in your universe and able to kill brave and foolish heroes with a single blow. You sit on your throne and never leave your palace, but one day a hero arrives with a lot of determination and a seemingly endless number of lives.
You can kill the hero very easily (and you have multiple powerful attacks to do so), but each time you do he comes back a little better prepared and better equipped. Before each fight you have a little repartee where you get to learn more about the hero and the Dark Queen and a mutual respect starts to grow. However, each fight will end with a death.
The Dark Queen is an immovable object who is eternal and will never change, while the hero is an unstoppable force who will always return stronger. It makes for a remarkably touching story as the battles play out and it may give you a little more empathy the next time you fight a boss in Dark Souls!
