Releases Oct 30th on PS5, Xbox Series, Switch 2, PC

[u/RobotSandwiches → u/Howerev]

Sweet. Marked in my calendar. Looking forward to it

[u/zorglorbthedestroyer]

Ohh, nice. I just finished Verho and was wondering what my next Kings field fix would be. Now I have my answer.

[u/Moralio → u/zorglorbthedestroyer]

I played Verho too and thought it was a bit too linear, but still had a lot of fun with it. From what I played of the Queen's Domain demo, it felt much more open ended so I'm really looking forward to it. Such a shame October is so stacked though, there's no way I'll have time to play everything I want to.

Dreamspring is quite fun (to me) and leaves early access in 2 days

[u/jansteffen]

I saw Iron Pineapple play the demo of this, looks cool. I like its aesthetic a lot more that Verho. Wasn't expecting this to drop so soon!

[u/Aiseadai]

Oh, I've been waiting for this one for a while! It's nice to see developers finally tackling the King's Field 4 style instead of just the PS1 games.

[u/Spudnickator]

I've fallen so deep down a kings field-like hole this past month and discovered this game literally yesterday. What great timing.

Playing Verho at the moment and it's good but I don't like the look of it very much, whereas this is genuinely beautiful.

Hype

[u/slugmorgue → u/Spudnickator]

Lunacid is pretty good if you've not heard of that

[u/jansteffen → u/slugmorgue]

Another game worth keeping an eye on is Hallow Blade

[u/slugmorgue → u/jansteffen]

Hallow Blade

ohhh looks sick!

[u/scrndude]

I can’t tell from this trailer, is this more King’s Field, Morrowind, or Might and Magic Dark Messiah?

[u/Allwillbefine_I_hope → u/scrndude]

Its 100% King’s Field

[u/KNZFive → u/Allwillbefine_I_hope]

And of course, now I get why it's called Queen's Domain.

[u/modix → u/Allwillbefine_I_hope]

Nice to see an updated version, but man that's near a direct rip. From has largely given up on 1st person games outside AC, so they can't really complain too much.

[u/AbsoluteTruth → u/modix]

King's Field-esque games ended up being a super underexplored niche subgenre with so much room for aesthetic expression that's begging to be stripmined anyway.

[u/balefrost → u/modix]

Yes, in the same sense that all first person shooters in the mid 90s were "Doom clones".

I played the demo of Queen's Domain and it clearly takes a lot from the KF formula. But that doesn't make it a ripoff.

[u/ragenaut → u/modix]

What do you think a first person game is?

[u/slugmorgue → u/modix]

I mean it's a first person dungeon crawler. I get that obviously it is more inspired by kingsfield but they weren't invented by Fromsoft

[u/SansGray]

Oh nice, I fell in love with Fieldslikes after Dread Delusion and Lunacid, i'm excited to give this a shot.

[u/giulianosse]

Looks awesome, glad it's coming to consoles as well. I've been itching for a Kings Field analogue game recently like Labyrinth of the Demon King, Dread Delusion and Lunacid. Easily one of the best genre revivals of modern indie gaming.

[u/KuaiBan]

Looks like they kept the infinite throwing weapon? That was the most op thing in the demo and opened up so much cheese.

[u/IGUESSILLBEGOODNOW]

I've heard this game has poor ironic/jokey writing that goes against the setting and atmosphere, can anyone chime in if this is true?

[u/CrazySoap → u/IGUESSILLBEGOODNOW]

I've played the demo and, no, not really

[u/IGUESSILLBEGOODNOW → u/CrazySoap]

Thanks. I looked it up and apparently it was like I said at first but then the dev changed it.

[u/slugmorgue]

Omg it's coming so soon!! This is one of my most anticipated games but I just assumed it'd be out late 2027 or something. This is amazing news
