Both forms of multiplayer occur pseudo-randomly, although matchmaking formulas are used to pair characters at similar levels together. Multiplayer in Dark Souls II is the same format as its predecessors players have the choice between co-operative play in the form of being “summoned” into another player’s game world, or player-versus-player through “invading” other worlds. Upon death, the player’s entire collection of souls are dropped the player can recover their dropped souls by returning to the spot where they died, but if they die before picking them up, the souls are permanently lost. The game uses a form of joint currency called “souls”, which are used as both experience points for leveling up and as “money” for purchasing items from shops. Unskillful play is punished severely by most enemies, opportunities for recovering health are limited, and as in Demon’s Souls, each time upon death, the player’s maximum health is reduced (to a certain lower limit) until the player expends a rare item to reverse it.
