There seems to be a burgeoning subset of souls-like games which seek to combine the combat style of Dark Souls with another style of game. Absolver combined the formula with detailed melee combat like in a fighting game, while Necropolis transplanted the Dark Souls design into more of a dungeon crawling setting.
The world as it was is gone, lost with the disappearance of the King. As a Wanderer of these forsaken lands, it is up to you to piece together the fragments of reality and retrace the fall of civilisation through skill based combat, innovative open-world platforming and the testimonies of survivors… some more trustworthy than others.
"Shattered: Tale of the Forgotten King is inspired by the beloved Dark Souls series. It has all the trappings you look for all while dolled up in a gorgeous aesthetic and massive open world. However, its world lacks rewarding exploration, and its combat, while mostly enjoyable, lacks any sort of weight. There is a good game here, but you do have to spend a good deal of frustration to find it." Jeff Young - Analog Stick Gaming
Developer Redlock Studios' dark action RPG, Shattered: Tale of the Forgotten King, is releasing on March 30th.
