Summary
This begins our coverage of King's Field, the first FromSoft game to come to the United States. Confusingly, this is King's Field II in Japan. You play as Alexander, a friend of the king who is sent to the treacherous island of Melanat to recover the lost Moonlight Sword. King's Field is a bracing game to play, if you can get over its antiquated presentation and design. The seeds of what we'd come to love about the Souls series are present here, and that is a surprising fact for a game released in 1996.
We cover the generalities and the first few areas in this episode. The next episode will cover the rest of the game.
