Its core gameplay mechanics are similar to those of the predecessors: the player must explore vast interconnected areas and fight hostile creatures and weapons and magic. The Ancient City is a first-person action role-playing game and the fourth entry in the King's Field series. The stranger hands him the Idol of Sorrow, and before long Devian realizes that he has been entrusted with the difficult task of taking the idol back to the Land of Disaster and finding a way to remove the curse. One day, Prince Devian of Azalin Empire is visited by a mysterious stranger. The idol's evil powers once again awakened when the king of Heladin mistook it for a symbol of peace. I've had no glitched graphics, freezes, or other things happen during my 2 playthroughs.4 /5Many years ago, a powerful talisman known as Idol of Sorrow turned the ancient Holy Land, the home of the Forest Folk, into the cursed Land of Disaster.

(There's a fan translation for it though) These are all games also made by From Software, just like King's Field and the Souls games.Īs for how to play them on PC, there isn't much i can say other than just emulate them. Well, there's Shadow Tower for PS1, Eternal Ring for PS2 and Shadow Tower: Abyss also on PS2, but that game is japan exclusive.
