Bloodborne is an action RPG set in the cursed city of Yharnam, where a strange endemic illness has taken hold. Players are tasked with uncovering the secrets of this dark world to survive and must arm themselves with guns and saw cleavers. To progress through the game, players must use holy chalices to gain access to underground ruins full of traps, beasts, and rewards which can be explored alone or with other people. Wits, strategy and reflexes are essential for dispatching enemies that guard these areas.
