The primal ooze of the souls genre, , the forgotten franchise of From Software, foreboding atmosphere, great music, dreamlike NPCS, awkward controls, and little to no hand holding, the King's field saga is like a fever dream, and I love it, I still listen to the "Dark Reality" song (extended version) from time to time, that synthetized organ hits all the dopamine centers in my brain.
As an early zoomer, I didn't play this growing up; but I've been a FromSoft fan since I played Elden Ring (like how Breath of the Wild made me a LoZ fan), & so when I randomly heard about King's Field in a Gameranx video, I was intrigued enough to dig into it; which's how I found out it was FromSofts very 1st IP, & shortly afterwards, about the spinoff series, Shadow Tower, & that they're the IPs that pioneered everything the Souls games & Elden Ring're famous for now, & where many iconic Fromverse elements, like Seath the Scaleless & the Moonlight Greatsword, made their debut. So naturally, when I started emulating retro games on my Steam Deck (because getting the og hardware's prohibitively expensive now), I had to download both the King's Field & Shadow Tower IPs to play; & while they're, as FromSoft games're famous for being, brutally difficult, I've been enjoying them, & I immediately noticed their control scheme was what'd be standard keyboard & mouse controls mapped to a controller, as demonstrated by modern games that, while officially labeled "Soulsborne", or a similar term, actually, whether the developer realized it or not, take more after King's Field &/or Shadow Tower gameplay wise due to being played from a 1st person perspective (surprising the difference it makes); which's why I came up with a new term for such games I even made into a Steam tag; "King's-heir". Games like Monomyth, Dread Delusion, & the upcoming games Dreamspring & Labryinth of the Demon King. So, as you may've guessed, I wanna see both the King's Field & Shadow Tower games made playable on PC for both longtime FromSoft fans, & simply curious newcomers, to enjoy, & discover where many iconic FromSoft elements came from, & where the legendary studio got their start; & if Nightdive Studios doesn't remaster/remake them, I wanna see them added to the GOG preservation program (if you see this reposted on the other King's Field/Shadow Tower games, the story's the same there as it is here).

Black & White 2In the game, the player takes the role of a god called from the void (nothingness) to help those who invoked them. However, the player is not an omnipotent style god, but rather a god who rises and falls with his believers and the player must help develop their nature according to their good or evil desires. The player also has a creature, their physical representation in the world, which takes the form of an anthropomorphic ape, lion, wolf, turtle, cow, or tiger. Its physical manifestation can grow to an immense size, and adopt a good or evil persona separate of the player's. They develop their character as the player rewards or punishes their actions. In addition to the god simulation and city-building elements introduced in the original Black & White, Black & White 2 also features elements of real-time strategy gameplay, with the addition of controllable warfare and fighting units.Top Trending Action Fantasy Comedy Sandbox
