Lo más interesante de King’s Field es su atmósfera. Es un juego lento, oscuro y opresivo, donde la sensación de estar perdido en un mundo hostil está muy conseguida. Aquí ya se ven muchas ideas que luego definirían a los juegos “souls”.King’s Field es más importante por lo que representa que por lo bien que se juega hoy. Es prácticamente el “proto-Souls”, una base sobre la que luego se construirían juegos mucho más pulidos.

I gave it 5 for some good aspects of the game. I could give even lower. Because this game has an unforgivable mistake. It can trap you in one place and waste your hours. Where did I leave the game? The game dropped me into a termite nest. Anyway. I spent time in this nest for about 2 hours. I gained exp etc. Then I saw a hole and jumped into it. There was magic inside too and I used it. Then I realized I was stuck in the hole. I couldn't get back out. Last save was at least 3 hours ago. I researched online and they say I'm really stuck. What nonsense is this now? If this isn't a design flaw, what is? Anyway, I won't play this game for a long time.

A great dungeon-crawler RPG. It features a huge interconnected island as a setting, no loading screens and a big focus on exploration. While the game is very well designed and revolutionary for its time, constant backtracking and some areas thematically blending together hold it back from a higher score.
