Heir of Granatyki

FREEWARE Plow into a new King’s Field

King’s Field fan Master Taffer has created a prequel to the original game, which prompts you to investigate a mysterious darkness in the northern continent. You’re not Columbo, so by “investigate” I of course mean “slaughter every monster you come across”. Made using From’s moderately creaky Sword of Moonlight engine—a tool specifically tailored to making King’s Field- a-likes— Heir of Granatyki is pretty far from your typical FPS. WASD and mouse controls are out, and unintuitive keyboard/gamepad commands are in. It’s worth putting up with all that, however, as this ethereal adventure captures the dreamlike spirit of the originals very well.

It’s cumbersome, but with a pace and atmosphere all its own.
