Description

King's Field (originally dubbed King's Field II) is the second game in the series, and the first one to become localized in Western countries. It is a first-person RPG set on a dark island where evil has been emanating from and the inhabitants disappearing. Movement is handled similarly to Doom and the like but with most weapons being handheld and the pace not quite so frantic. This game is not an action game though, with many RPG elements such as exploration, interaction with other characters, acquisition of items and treasure as well as attaining levels and improving statistics.

Trivia

Moonlight Sword

One of the key items in the game is the Moonlight Sword, a large blue crystal blade with a golden hilt, which has subsequently shown up (sometimes with a slightly different name) in nearly every other game produced by FromSoftware, including 3D Dot Game Heroes, Armored Core, Demon's Souls, Dark Souls, Enchanted Arms, Evergrace, Ninja Blade, Otogi, and Spriggan: Lunar Verse. In most cases it is one of the most powerful, if not the most powerful, weapons in the game, and it is often hidden accordingly. There was even a King's Field editor released for Windows called Sword of Moonlight.
