King's Field (キングスフィールド?) is a medieval-themed first-person role playing video game produced by FromSoftware for the PlayStation in 1994. It is the first entry in the King's Field series. Unlike its sequels, the game was released exclusively in Japan, affecting the numbering of subsequent entries for their western releases. A fan-translation patch has been produced.[1] A remake is included in the Sword of Moonlight: King's Field Making Tool programming kit released in 2000 for Windows PCs; also exclusive to Japan.
Synopsis
There was a small country called Verdite surrounded by a deep forest, encircled by fog and whirling winds. In ancient days, when a great battle was fought and many were dying, Verdite was saved by a person who then disappeared into the forest. Only the forest's drifting fog knew who this person was... The citizens called their savior the Dragon of the Forest and built a sanctuary and honored this person there. Eventually, only a legend remained and the Sanctuary was changed into the Royal Graveyard and all was silent. But, the legend says, "Someday the Dragon of the Forest shall return, bearing Magical Artifacts." However, the time has not yet come and the Sanctuary sleeps deeply...
Narrative at the end of the game:
"The path to the Dark World was closed, the battle was won and only the legend lived on in Verdite. But, the days of peace may not endure. As long as there is evil magic in the veins of the kings of Verdite, someday one will strive to open the dark door again. John's dream to become a swordsman who surpassed his father was finally realized. Now, to carve his name into the world and prove that both he and his father had lived, John overcomes his deep sorrow and begins a journey to find new skills and learn what his future holds."

Court, et clairement moins poussé que ses successeurs, mais la flamme est déjà là. Une fois passées les 2 premières heures de jeu, on ne s'arrête plus jusqu'à la fin.
