Fans of the previous King's Field games will love this game. While the story quality is dropped a few notches from King's Field 2, the immersiveness of the environment is absolutely stunning. There are certain parts of the game that will just make your jaw drop and the hair stand on the back of your neck.

The story seems to take place prior to the events of the first two games (distantly), but there are still many familiar elements that will make a die-hard King's Field fan smile. For one, there is the chance of certain death from a simple miss-step at the very start. :p Also, there is the familiar hidden room with a skeleton guarding the leather shield in the treasure chest (this must be a trademark). My favorite though, is the gigantic boss monsters that can one-hit you if you challenge them too soon!

There are quite a few innovations to the game. The most note-worthy would be that you can go underwater! You won't last long at first, but as you work your way up to demi-god status, you will be able to spend a good deal of time underwater.

While not as lengthy as King's Field 2, the game is a must for fans of the prior two in the series.

GOOD GAME, NOTHING FANTASTIC

This game is pretty challenging, but lacks punch. The ending is really dissapointing.

i'm glad it isnt just me!

I'm glad that i am not the only one that thought this game .... I got board after 15 minutes. What a waste of [money]! Oh well, that will teach me not to buy games before I rent them. I suggest that everyone should learn from my mistake, and rent first!

The puzzles in this long game will hold you till the end.

Even though the hero is very weak in the beginning and the fighting technique is a little unusual, once you get involved in this game you feel compelled to finish it. The hero acquires so many interesting weapons and armor by way of puzzle solving, purchasing, trading and searching in many interesting locations.

Quite possibly the worst game in the world!!!

This game is terrible! you move way to slow, your attacks don't even kill beginning monsters, and the graphics look like a playstation one game.
Don't even rent it it is terrible, but then again so were the other king's field games.

Hey, it's King's Field, ...

... this is the THIRD game in the series to come over to the states, and as it plays just like the other 2, ... ...
Yeah, the graphics are uninspired: sparsely animated dungeons flicker repetitive images, and the outside field scenes don't exactly conjure images of the middle age peasantry. However, there is a great deal to uncover in the game, and personally, the ability to look down on the ground with your character (or up in the air) is appealing to me, as it allows for more varied battles.
As for the battles, they are standard King's Field fare: hack and slash. However, finally the AI for the monsters has improved, as you are not allowed merely to circle the enemy and constantly stay out of his weapon range (now, enemies can attack behind them). My one problem here is that many enemies do not continue pursuit of you; they will circle back after a time, allowing for some ridiculous moments.
A big plus to the game is the immensity of the world. Also, secrets abound, and if you wish to find good weaponry or armor, you must try to seek out these hidden treasures (you can buy weapons, but they are very poor).
I gave this game 4 stars because I like King's Field games. It's not for everyone, ..., but if you like this sort of game, hours of enjoyment await!

Too much fun for you!

This game is amazing. If you like Everquest or Bauldars Gate, then you will fall in love with Kingsfield. Whether you like the strategy or the fighting, this game is perfect.

DO NOT PLAY

This is the most tedious game I have ever played, and I am an ardent RPG fan. Only for serious dungeon crawlers.

what were they thinking!

I too played this game for all of ten minutes. The game play is FAR TOO SLOW AND AWKWARD. The game style is similar to doom but worse. Since I couldn't force myself to play it any longer, I cannot offer much advice beyond the opening scenes.

Trust me, don't waste your time. If by chance you ignore my comments and do play the game, please do other gammers a favor and offer your honest eval. I'll bet it isn't very kind either.

Amazing Game

This game blew me away, literally. I actually fell out my window as the game came on. To tell the truth, I slipped on some wet substance on my floor and fell two stories. That is besides the point. Let's get back to the game. This game was amazing. The graphics, the characters, the situations, etc...
