When you mention FromSoftware, everyone automatically jumps to Dark Souls, or maybe Elden Ring now, given how monstrously popular that game was. However, before they started Soulslikes, they made a variety of other games. While I\u2019d love to turn this into an article about Lost Kingdoms, I\u2019ve yet to find an indie game that properly draws inspiration from it. Instead, this is about a game called Lunacid<\/a>, which is very heavily inspired by King\u2019s Field, a series of dungeon-crawling action RPGs that FromSoftware made all the way back in 1994. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lunacid is as close to a modern-day King\u2019s Field game as you can get. It\u2019s set in a world where a gigantic beast came from the sea and covered the Earth in a poison fog, and now everything\u2019s basically gone to poop. As a result of this, anyone who\u2019s even slightly off gets chucked into The Great Well, and that\u2019s where you come in, as the story starts with you being thrown in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From here, you get to choose a class, then you walk around in first-person and explore the Great Well, always working your way down, and fighting off strange beasts and monsters on the way. It\u2019s important to note that, while you do a fair bit of fighting in Lunacid, it\u2019s not really the focus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The focus here is on exploration, wonder, and some incredibly cool moments. Your class will dictate a little bit about how you fight, but the basics are you walk in, hit something, walk away before you get hit. You get some cool spells along the way too, but you have to be careful when using them as they require time to charge for the most part. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
