Reflecting the Souls games’ use of poise in their tight melee combat, players can also gain poise points, which are spent to use their character’s ability and change their current stance to modify dice rolls.

These are Travelers – a role that the player characters also adopt – who have been given the final death, only to rise once more in search of rivals who are worthy enough to slay. An echo of the difficulty and danger held by Dark Souls’ boss enemies, the Printless present an additional challenge and threat in Print Weaver as they are the only opponents who can kill player characters.

It was more of a publisher (Namco Bandai) decision to say, "Guys, don't worry about this – let's just get it out and see how this works on PC."
