Dark Souls II played by Dark Souls 1's rules: stat-free rolls, steerable swings, enemies that never despawn.
Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin with Dark Souls 1's movement and combat rules. The world, enemies, bosses, items and story are Dark Souls II's own, and so are the animations. What changes is how your character moves and fights.
Needs Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin. Single player and offline: while it runs, the game stays off FromSoftware's servers. Your installed game is never changed; start Dark Souls II from Steam to play it normally.
1.1.0: fixes the crash a few seconds after starting, and adds the roll-stamina and swing-turning rules.
