I just played an hour and a half of the original King's Field. I got stronger, got a Knight's Sword off a dead enemy and a Breastplate off a dead soldier, found a wooden shield guarded by a skeleton behind a secret wall, and found a Dragon Cup that I am supposed to take back to the fountain at the beginning to refill it with water. Guessing that's to restore HP/MP. I have no idea how to get back there, though. This is why I won't be playing this game. I cannot orient myself in first-person games. I just never could. I've beaten a few, but they had maps or automap features for the most part. I hate running around in circles with no sense of where the hell I am or am going. You do get maps in the KF's eventually! |

toeiGlad you gave KF1 a fair try. But yeah King's Field isn't for every gamer.

Maybe there's another one that would work better for him. KF3 (KF2-US) has more outdoor environments and isn't nearly as mazey as the first two games. The graphical fidelity bump might make navigation easier for some too. Not really any "deja vu" moments in KF4 either because that one looks the most distinct with the PS2 tech, but it takes a long time to get maps in that one.
Maybe toei will like KF on the 5th attempt in a few years.

 That was my favorite floor in KF1! Can't deny the death metal made of harpsichords and slap bass.

It's an infamous one in my playthroughs. A rather rare time where I said NO to backtracking and making sure I got everything I could find. I was in and out of that floor ASAP.  |

That looks like a diagram for a circuit board. I'm glad I quit KF1.
