A Dark Journey Through King’s Field | Series Retrospective

King’s Field has earned distant respect from many FromSoftware fans - a series that the studio cut their teeth on. Yet, due to it’s chunky polygonal graphics and esoteric gameplay systems, many find the games unapproachable. What stories can be unearthed in these Stygian worlds? And just how did one man on (and off) a motorcycle result in the phenomenon that is the “Soulslike“ subgenre? Join me as we dig deep into the history of FromSoftware, and examine each game in their King’s Field series. How do they differ? What makes them special? How have they influenced the games we play today? Special Thanks to Jon Turcotte for making the thumbnail!
