One of my biggest pet peeves is a game that takes forever to load menu screens in the middle of the gameplay.
I want in and out as quick as possible. KF II cleaned up some of the rough edges graphically in the game. Everything is 3D polygon and looks good. The idea behind the game was to immerse the player in the world and make you feel like you are not controlling someone else but living the game yourself. I don't know if any game is good enough to do that but as KF II comes as close as you could realistically expect. The enemies are all well done and look good. I found myself jumping back as the Skeletons came popping out of the treasure chest.
On the whole, the graphics are very good. KF II is a very entertaining game that will keep you playing hour after hour. The worlds are huge and there is always a new challenge waiting around every corner. The somewhat archaic combat system still does not do it for me but it is better in this one than in the first King's Field.
This would add tremendously to the combat aspect of the game. But, with that already said, I think that the focus of the game is more on the adventure side than the combat side. Without rewriting the novel that comprises the story of KF II, let me fill you in on the story line. Slow movements, unfair matchups against enemies, and dull gameplay make it tough to cultivate loyalty to King's Field.
The problems revolve around the FunFactor. Chasing monsters is one thing, but chasing them in slow motion while they speed up to kill you is a different matter. Controlling your adventurer is tough. Sluggish screen movement is exacerbated by a slow-to-charge weapon bar. Enemies glide along and kill you while you're unprepared, which adds to the frustration. Graphically, the game's dungeons and monsters look similar throughout every level.
There's also plenty of breakup with lots of seams appearing where they shouldn't. As for sounds, there are eerie effects a la Doom, but for the most part, you'll hear scarier sounds in Michael Jackson's bedroom.
Not even the enemies can muster the energy to sonically scare you. King's Field is definitely a rental. With flaccid gameplay and less-than-fearsome monsters, this adventure takes the long and winding road to the discount barrel.
KFII, unfortunately, has many of the same flaws. Minor cosmetic changes, such as larger maps, complex enemies, and expanded cut scenes, were made, but slow movement, unfair matchups, and dull gameplay continue to reign supreme in this ordinary RPG.
As you walk around in a first-person perspective, you come upon plenty of rampaging monsters, but unfortunately everything onscreen looks like it's moving underwater. A melee round against a low-level creature can take up to five minutes to complete. Multiply that five minutes by the large number of encounters in the first level alone, and you'll quickly realize how interesting homework can be in comparison. Once you're in a fight, your character's defense is frustrat-ingly inept, making many small enemies way too powerful.
For instance, a skeleton with a berzerker-like attack can defeat you with only one blow, while you need four hits to bring him down. Adding to the frustration is the hit meter, which takes too long to recharge. Graphically, King Field's II is slightly better than its predecessor. The occasional screen breakup of the first game seems to have been fixed, and the magical special effects generate genuine "oohs" and "aahs.
Sound has also been improved. Bone-chilling screams and original sound effects create a colorful sonic atmosphere. The intro, however, plays both music and dialogue, and the music basically drowns out the voices.
At best, King's Field II is a decent rental, because its slow gameplay gets more and more frustrating the longer you stay with it. At worst Browse games Game Portals. Kings Field 2. Install Game.

Game review Downloads Screenshots Overall rating: 6. Overview The King's Field saga is back and better than before. Overall rating: 7. King's Ransom The problems revolve around the FunFactor. Field of Seams Graphically, the game's dungeons and monsters look similar throughout every level. ProTips: Look in all the barrels, especially the first one In the caves.
You'll find an iron mask. Attack monsters from the side. ProTips: To defeat monsters without being hit, attack them from the side. When you first enter the game, go across the bridge and to the other side of the wall. Get the armored boots from the chest to the right But watch out for the trap This title has all the great aspects of a true RPG, including items to pick up and equip, but also has an adventure feel to it because of the strategy used in doing battle with the enemies.
Do not plan on finishing this one for quite some time. Thumbs up RPGers rejoice! This first-person perspective RPG does not have mind-blowing graphics, but they are nice and clean.
The game takes you through many places and pits you agamst huge snails, man-eating plants and much more. This game is not for those who constantly want action; in fact, it moves quite slowly, but true RPGers will enjoy the hundreds of hours of qameplay King's Field has to offer. This combines the Doom type of maze fighting with some elements of RPG games to create a fun and challenging game. The graphics and sounds are good but nothing more exceptional than computer gamers are used to.
People who are crazy for 3-D textured-map games will simply love the look of it. Personally, I found the game slightly above average-looking and frustrating at times. I really wish there was an on-the-spot save feature. ASCii's first entry into the PlayStation arena is an interactive adventure with role-playing elements. Playing from a first-person perspective, you set out on a vast journey to dispatch the evil monster Necron and return the powerful Moonlight Sword to the king. Despite the unusual first-person approach, King's Field II throws pieces of the RPG book at you, like hit points, magic points, and various weapons.
Plus you'll battle more than 30 otherworldly beasts like skeletons. Many years ago, a holy monument was erected in a cave deep in the forests of Verdite. This monument was in honor of the Highest Elf. On the monument an inscription read "It is written. A great ship has fallen from the heavens. It struck the island of Melanat, and was buried deep in the island. Those who come from far away lands to seek its buried treasure shall never return alive.
Never approach the island A young warrior named Alfred set out on a mission to the island of Melanat to search for his father who had left years ago to slay the monsters on Melanat. Alfred was unsuccessful in his quest to find his father but along the way he managed to slay the monsters of the island, find the magical moonlight sword and return safely to his home land.
Upon his return to the gates of his home land, all of the townsfolk were amazed and crowned him the new king of Veridite. A few years later, new monsters started to appear in the caverns near Veridite. King Alfred set out to slay the monsters but found the moonlight sword missing. Without this sword, he was unable to defeat the monsters.
The king dispatched search parties to find the stolen sword. Every village was searched to no avail. The only place the sword could be was the island. The king dispatched his soldiers to the island in hopes of regaining his sword. None of the soldiers ever returned. Several months later, the king's best friend, Alexander, arrived at the castle to visit the king.
Upon hearing of all of the events that had transpired over the past months, Alexander volunteered to go to the island, slay the monsters, and return the sword. While crossing the channels to the island, his ship was attacked by sea monsters and was destroyed. Alexander became entangled in seaweed and managed to drift to the shore of the island.
King's Field is an adventure Role Playing game that puts you behind the controls of Alexander on his quest to slay the monsters of the island and return the moonlight sword to the king. The game is set in a dark, 3D environment and all you have to do is kill a few monsters, find the sword and, oh yeah, survive. This is a new twist on this type of game, and is actually a good twist.
The object of the game is to fight your way through monsters, explore the caverns of the island and ultimately, defeat the monsters and find the missing moonlight sword. This is not an easy task or an easy game. You start the game washing ashore of the island.
You find yourself in knee deep water with various see creatures swimming close by. As you first climb out of the water, you have a second to get your bearings, and then you are thrust into battle against the monsters of the island. You begin your quest armed only with a dagger that is less than effective. This weapon is about as good as kicking the monsters, which you unfortunately can't do. Throughout the caverns and levels of King's Field, you will find various items and health revivals.
You have the ability to learn spells that will help in your quest. You can find the ability to cast both offensive and defensive magics. The magics are broken up into five different categories -- fire, wind, light, earth and water.
Each of the magics has its own special attributes and is used better in certain situations. The defensive magics are used to heal your player's Hit Points, cure poisons and illuminate dark areas. The magic is essential for survival. Along your journey, you will encounter a number of people. Some of the people are there to help you so talk with them often.
Keep talking with them until they can offer no new information. You will also come across merchants that you can buy and sell items from. Along the way in your journey, you will find gold, crystal and other valuable objects that can be traded for weapons from the mechanist. You will also find key shops where you can duplicate keys, a crystal shop where you can trade crystals for other items and a fortune teller that will help identify and explain items to you.
All of these resources become very valuable during your quest. Now, the main focus of the game is on fighting monsters. This is also what really hurts King's Field. The fighting is the old, slash then back up, then slash again type fighting.
