Found some good gear to get me started and then the rest is history. Exited the cave and explored the terrain some more. Quickly found out that it was a save spot. There was a weird looking angel-like statue at the end. I just tested my luck and went to a cave. Didn't have a clue where to go at first since there were different sets of path. I was suprised how non-linear it was from the get go. Except it was harder since you don't know what's lurking behind you and the turning is really, really slow. Imagine playing those old Resident Evil games with tank controls but in first person, That's how it felt to play King's Field. It took some time of course, But I did eventually get used to it. I was constantly falling into lava and had a rough time trying to adjust the camera. It had a very retro RPG-style feeling to it.Īnd finally, I was playing the game and I struggled. Again, The music that was playing on the intro was phenomenal. He sounded too enthusiastic for a Fromsoftware game though but It didn't bother me.
The intro cinematic played, With the narrator's voice explaining the events of the game thus far. That was a good sign atleast for me since Saitoh-san is a good composer and I loved his musics in a more recent FromSoft games.Īfter listening and admiring the main menu theme literally for 10 minutes straight, I finally hit new game and began my journey. If you didn't know, He was the one that composed Iudex Gundyr's theme from Dark Souls 3.
I quickly looked up the composer for the game and surprisingly it was none other than Tsuka Saitoh.
I booted it up and the first indication that I had that I'm in for a treat was the main menu theme. Since I was hungry for anything Fromsoftware related at that time (Because waiting for Elden Ring is a such pain), I didn't hesitate to try the game. The dark and somber feeling I came to love with Souls franchise was somehow present in those screenshots. I saw some screenshots of the game and I was intrigued by how atmospheric it was. Until recently of course.Ī couple of weeks prior, I was browsing through some retro games and stumbled upon King's Field Ancient City. It instantly turned me off and I never looked back on it. The movement seemed slow and the camera was horrendous. My initial first impression about it from watching various YouTube videos were. At first I underestimated the King's Field franchise. Played every Soulsborne game except Bloodborne because I don't have a ps4.
