For me it really held up well and was super fun to play. The very first King's Field (the one that didn't leave Japan) is incredibly impressive for its time. I also own all the Souls games, but I haven't tried them yet because I want to finish the classics first.

Looking forward to getting into them sooner rather than later. I haven't played KF3: Pilot Style, KF3, or the Shadow Tower games yet. Of the three KF games I've finished, I'd rank them like this: I hope you get properly hooked and see it to the end, the final area and final boss are pretty damned impressive. KF 2 is very "metroidvania" in comparison. Actually I found KF 2 to be more challenging than KF 1 simply because it was far less linear. I quite enjoyed it, very immersive and challenging. Yes, I beat that one for the first time earlier this year.

So you're talking about King's Field II it seems. Jay_red wrote:Excited to get back into it tonight and see what else I can find. I also have a ton of "Monster Bones" in my inventory and I have no idea what they do and couldn't find that anywhere online. I recently got an item called the Purity Amulet, and it's description say's something like "Increases the cleansing ability of ones body." I had to look up online and eventually found out that the amulet makes a spell called Earth Heal (which I don't even have yet) more effective.Īnd unlike Souls, there doesn't seem to be a comprehensive wiki to explain these things. A lot of the miscellaneous items have very vague descriptions that don't accurately explain what they do. I have to say there is one thing that bums me out though.

There's a lot more focus on puzzles or finding the right items to progress, similar to a metroidvania game, rather than straight up combat like in Souls. I love exploring around this bleak desolate world. I'm kind of surprised it's taken me this long to get around to it, but I recently jumped into King's Field IV: The Ancient City.
