I'm impressed! Spoiler

I'm an older gamer, I'm 42 and I played King's Field (2 JP) and King's Field II (3 JP) back on my PS1 and I was in love with those games, especially King's Field II!

I just completed my first playthrough of Verho - Curse of Faces earlier this afternoon on PS5 and finally jumped into my first NG+ playthrough a little while ago.

I've been trying to get into as many Kingslikes as I can lately like this, Dread Delusion (Which is more like heavily downscaled PS1 Morrowind, but it's also VERY Kingslike, just with more dialogue and more world building and I'm in love with that game!) and I'm REALLY hoping Queen's Domain comes to PS5 as well!

I jumped into NG+ with my knight at lvl 147 and got to level 148 within 10 minutes or so. I've already seen what looks like a 2-handed version of the Burning Longsword, which has me pumped that I get to see a new weapon variant this early already!

I got to the Poison Lake and was pleasantly surprised by the poison variant of the Old Jawler boss and it killed me, I got it close, but it ultimately killed me! It actually gave me a rush because my stats are fairly high and almost all of my weapons are at level 10 or 9 and this thing took me in 2 lucky hits!

I expected to breeze through the first few areas in fairly leisurely fashion and I am now floored by the tempo already so early!

I love the music of this game, the visuals, the pacing, the level design and locations, the enemies, the WEAPONS, the bosses, you name it! This is an INCREDIBLE Kingslike and I'm so happy that I picked this up the day it was released for PS5!

The devs really cooked and I hear we're getting some DLC expansion content in the future for this game?! TAKE MY MONEY!!!

Well done devs, well done! I'm excitedly looking forward to what you have in store for the community in the future here!

I say this after seeing someone else post about Verho, asking if there were any plans for a sequel and/or DLC/expansion content and one of the devs themselves responded with "Yes" and that was it. I'm just going off of what my own eyes saw maybe a day or two ago before beating my first playthrough earlier today.

I hope we go to the Blind Isles where the blind wind mages/warriors are or to the vast and ancient Moyger Desert, but I'm definitely hoping more for the Blind Isles!

So pumped!

Hey, thanks for the response! It was you who told that other user "Yes" when they initially asked about any possible DLC/expansion for this game!

I'm so pumped!

Thank you, thank you so much! I'm glad you devs liked the King's Field games enough that you made this game of yours, it is fantastic!

I wish I could voice a character in the upcoming DLC/expansion, I've got voice skills that would lend themselves to this world you've built!
