![]() The story is weak.īOTTOM LINE: The game is for hardcore RPG fanatics, or fans of the series. You'll see the same environments many times over. The enemies are very dumb, most of them will forget that you are there if you move away a little at that point they'll start walking in small circles. The combat involves your trusty slash and a magic blast, nothing extra. ![]() There are many different enemy types.Ĭons: The character's controls are difficult to get used to, the turn speed is REALLY slow (an enemy could be attacking you for 4 seconds before you can fully turn around to fight 'em). Th e surrounding atmosphere in the game world is pretty spooky. These items change the way you appear and sometimes give you powers. You can equip helms, shields, gloves, rings, amulets, wrist ware, and weapons. The game sometimes forces you to backtrack after finding a key to that door that once was locked. I enjoyed the nonlinear aspect of King's Field. King's Field is a nonlinear RPG that doesn't give you any direction as to where you should go next or what you should do. Your character is the prince who has to return the idol back to stop its curse on the land. The game's story involves a cursed Idol that was taken from the altar by a king. These new features augment the 3D interaction and well-paced story development found in earlier King's Field releases.Ī non-linear first person RPG for PS2 for the hardcore players!!Īfter beating King's Field I wanted to rewrite my review to fully express my thoughts about this game. Standing between Prince Devian and the completion of his quest are 120 different monsters running the gamut from basic skeletons to poisonous globules of slime to man-eating trees known as Reapers. Of course, all these weapons and abilities would be for naught were you able to roam about without fear of being attacked. Each element has five different magic crystals that must be found throughout the Ancient City, in order to be able to tap and harness the power of each element for both defensive and offensive purposes. If they are not regularly repaired, they will eventually break.Īlso at your disposal is a host of magic spells that encompass the elements of Wind, Water, Fire, Earth, Light, and Dark. ![]() That said, items and weapons have a limited lifespan, and will become less effective with continued use. A cache of weapons ranging from morning stars to swords can also be equipped. Armor can be acquired and equipped to the legs, arms, body, and head of Prince Devian. And so begins your quest in this first-person exploration RPG.ĭespite its unconventional viewpoint, King's Field: The Ancient City offers a plethora of items, weapons, equipment and magic - staples of the genre - for the player to discover, buy, and use. Numerous attempts to return the accursed idol to the Land of Disaster have ended in failure and the task now falls to you - Prince Devian of Azalin. Since receiving a mysterious ceremonial idol, King Lucien IV and his kingdom of Heladin have suffered a string of disasters, plunging the land into decay and ruin. Because the third title in the series concluded the original story arc, this latest incarnation features an all-new storyline and characters.
