    The start of this game is f****** scary in when you have no items you have to find armour and weapons, and the enemies can kill you in a few hits.

    but I couldn't get through, which it's weird because I completed eternal ring and I have fun with that one, but this one is just a Step Too Far

    My picking problem with the game is the turning the camera is just way to slow

    Годная игра. Вызвала примерно такие же чувства как и серия Darksouls. Игра в меру сложная и безумно интересная.

    Even with these intriguing traits in place, King's Field: The Ancient City will bore approximately 99.9% of the gamers out there. Primarily because the game is so slow and burdensome. [Apr 2002, p.77]

    The action is so slow and the world so depressingly medieval. [Apr 2002]

    With a better laid-out world, more cleverly hidden treasures, and a great sense of nonlinearity, The Ancient City is a nice bit of evolution for the series.
