Not a shadowdrop, but it’s only two weeks away. Sweet.

    Nah. Us Soul Boy Beta… anyway the Souls fans had it easy. It was the Armored Core sickos that REALLY popped the fuck off when 6 was announced.

      If they ever announce a new Kings Field game, people’s heads (mine included) will explode from sheer shock and excitement.

        You need more Lunacid in your life. It has a LOT of modern game design and sensibilities but feels like exactly what we remembered KF to be.

        And they did a demake/prequel using the actual King’s Field game creator.

          I’ve played Lunacid! It was good, but the limited equipment slots (just your weapon and two rings) meant it didn’t have the same feeling of gradual progression that Kings Field had. Haven’t played Tears of the Moon yet.

            I would definitely have preferred armor but I found the weapon and spell progression to be really good up until it kinda just stops maybe 80% through ending A. Although I think making the “use it until it upgrades” explicit was a mistake since it encourages you to stick with one. Rather than learning, 10 hours in, that the starting sword was actually OP.

            And entering the catacombs from the wrong (right?) direction is the kind of bullshit From aspires to. Pitch black, invisible enemies that feel like they are respawning, all just constantly rushing you from every direction as they walk through walls. And you are just struggling to find the torches while feeling like you are getting smacked with a greatsword every step you take.

            I’ve heard REALLY good things about that short game where you play as a bug in a bug kingdom but haven’t gotten around to it yet.
