Just started it up today, it just takes some getting used to and then its a solid, slow paced dungeon crawler with awesome map design. Once you fall into the rhythm and learn to plan ahead it achieves a gameplay loop that blows whatever the hell ER was supposed to be out of the water.
Frick overblown worlds with nothing of significance inside and bosses that are 200 times harder than the rest of the easy ass game.
I started with KF1 (JPN) just because I wanted to see what the series started out as. It's a pretty good game given it's From Software's first, I enjoyed my time with it. That being said, I do think 2, 3, and 4 are all better. 3 was my favorite of the PS1 games.
Beat it this year. Controls are wonky but otherwise its a PS2 era masterpiece. Its everything I love about videogames rolles into one game. Its mysterious, videogamey adventure vibes in a slightly abstact but believable world thats just one gigantic dungeon exists nowhere else in games. It truly feels like an adventure as you unravel its layers as you keep going downwards into the earth.
Fricking. Masterpiece. Plebs get FRICKING filtered.
I got filtered by this game years ago and then I tried playing Evergrace, which was oozing with charm but incomprehensible and the gameplay was quite poor.
Although I love King's Field music it's nowhere close to Evergrace I'm still finding it a massively superior gaming experience overall. I need to get better at game design and coding so I can usher in a new age of SOVL to the world of gaming
I mostly just use pack in FL Studio stuff, though the guitars are Shreddage 2 (yes, there's two guitars in that cover). For the choir vocals I believe it's Sonatina Choir, or something like that iirc. Glad you like the cover anon!
Thanks man! I think the original has some more midi'ish sounding instruments, which I do like but I figured this take was something a little more atmospheric without changing the track too much.
This popped up in my youtube recommendations somehow the other day and it singlehandedly got me interested in playing the game, so congrats
It's actually showing up in people's recommendations? That's wild to me, considering I started the channel as a way to not share vocaroo links all the time when I wanted to share my covers on here. >and it singlehandedly got me interested in playing the game, so congrats
That's based as hell, definitely a series I'd recommend.
Is that the time where we pretend that old, clunky, FS games are better because souls game are getting too popular for Ganker?

60 on Metacritic btw
Yeah well no shit they got filtered by the graphics and the crumbling lava pit that's right next to you when you start the game
Shadow Tower > Shadow Tower Abyss > shit > the rest of Fromsoft's RPG games
yes it is an epic game, all the kings fields are
*mogs you senseless*
but does it have good map design and is the story not annoying?
>no music
no thanks
For new players, I think King's Field 1 (2 in Japan) is the one to play first.
It's actually pretty speedy if you sprint everywhere, and there's hacks to get it to run at 60 fps.
Its faster but its nowhere near as atmospheric or immersive as Ancient City. Especially the soundtrack.
I think Shadow Tower Abyss is also a pretty good starting point. Faster and more linear than KF4 but absolutely incredible atmosphere.

It's a very different game from Elden Ring. I fricking love King's Field as a series though. I covered Dark Reality from KF4, have a listen:
Sounds pretty awesome, what kind of sound library did you use?

Sounds more 'nostalgic' and haunting than the original, good job anon

Indeed
Shadow Tower, as well
I love these types of games, but king's fields have one of the worst melee feeling in any video game ever.
These lethargic sword moves are horrendous.
