New in this installment is the learning of magic from special crystals. Character growth is handled by repeatedly executing the same types of attacks and applying certain items to raise attributes. Physical attacks and spells are each assigned to a different button. The player character can attack physically with melee or ranged weapons (bows), as well as cast magic. Most of the time the player is free to explore large areas, though he may encounter powerful enemies he is yet unable to defeat. The game takes place in world consisting of interconnected areas, which gradually open up as the player acquires keys and other means to enter them. Like its predecessor, it is a first-person 3D action role-playing game with a heavy emphasis on dungeon crawling. 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. He has to explore the island, aware of the monsters roaming it, and find the sword. Alexander miraculously survives and is washed ashore on the mysterious island of Melanat.
During his voyage a terrible storm overcomes his ship, and it sinks to the bottom of the sea. Prince Alexander, one of the king's closest friends, embarks on a journey to retrieve the sword. This first King’s Field was unquestionably a groundbreaker for the Playstation system and even for gaming in general - using such innovations as quick travel teleportation points, easy left-right strafing, and a leveling system where the skills used the most are those that become the most powerful.The powerful and holy Moonlight Sword was stolen from King Alfred of Verdite. Most people who have become fans, played through their initial frustration and learned to savor the quest to thrive in a decidedly hostile world, cut off from all support, where you must utilize everything available to you, just to survive.
Items and NPCs are few and far between, but every one of them is hard earned and of great value to your character. Strangely, these are some of the very things that appeal to King’s Field fans. Critics cite reasons such as slow character movement, hard game play- rife with ways to die, and minimal NPC interaction.
The whole King’s Field series is one of those game franchises that people seem to either love or hate. King’s Field is a 3D, first person RPG similar to the Elder Scrolls series, but unlike the massive overwhelming worlds of an Elder Scrolls game, King’s Field focuses on exploring and mastering a few areas.
