![]() ![]() Look, games released back in 2002 were not as story driven as they are now so I kind of get it, but I get that some might have a hard time dealing with it. We play as a hero that is tasked with returning this cursed idol to where it came from and that will hopefully bring an end to the curse. The statue is actually a cursed idol and it brought destruction to the kingdom. The basics are that there was this nation that gave another nation this statue as a gift. There is not exactly an amazing story that runs through King's Field IV: The Ancient City. ![]() I recently dug it out and decided to give it a try after all these years and I was pleasantly surprised at how it held up. It never quite caught on as I think it was perhaps a bit too ahead of its time. When this was released in the early 00s there were very few if any first-person action RPGs like this for the PlayStation 2. This was a fairly early PlayStation 2 game and even to this day, it is a bit of a hidden gem. The 3 archers may or may not appear randomly, especially the one I had to kill, so they were all manipulated to appear.Even though there is a 4 in the title, King's Field IV: The Ancient City was the first game in the series that I actually owned. Usually speedrunners get xp by farming the Kraken Head at the very beginning of the game, for an extremely efficient 150 xp per 100 HP, but since I only needed 83 more xp to reach LV3 and that any extra xp would have absolutely no impact, I used the power of friendship TAS accuracy to kill an archer slightly faster than the Kraken Head with some friendly fire, getting 90 xp for doing so (though I must be the one dealing the finishing blow). ![]()
