If you want to cast magic you must assign a spell to the Magic field in the inventory, although first you must find and learn some magic. The shield acts like armour, rather than actually having to press a button to use it. A compass in the top right of the screen shows which direction you’re facing.Īleph can equip armour on various parts of his body and he can hold one weapon and a shield. Your Hit Points (HP) and Magic Points (MP) are shown as numbers above the stamina bars. If you swing a weapon or cast a spell you must wait for the stamina bar to re-fill before you can attack again. Your actions – both physical and magical – are governed by stamina and these are represented by two horizontal bars in the top left hand corner of the screen. Just like in the first King’s Field, if you put a step wrong in this game you’ll be met by instant death.
Your quest is to retrieve the Moonlight Sword and return it to King Alfred, ruler of the realm of Verdite. The island is called Melanat and the character you play is called Prince Aleph. You can walk in the shallows, but take a step in the wrong direction and you’ll be met by the ubiquitous scream of death. This second game in the series plays similarly to the first game, but the environments are more varied – starting off with exterior scenes on an island surrounded by deep and deadly water. For clarity: the official English language “ King’s Field” is actually King’s Field II – the sequel. It was later published under the title “ King’s Field” by ASCII Entertainment in North America and Sony in Europe in 1996, which does cause some confusion as the western titling ignores the actual first game in the series. FromSoftware‘s King’s Field II was initially released in Japan in 1995 and it is another first-person RPG with open world exploration, dodgy graphics and challenging combat.
