King's Field 4: The Ancient City is a first-person dungeon crawler developed by FromSoftware.

One stormy night, a mystery man visits Prince Devian and gives him the task of returning the Idol of Sorrow back to the cursed land. Devian sets off without knowing he's at a crossroads. The player as Devian explores a thoughtfully designed in-game 3D world with his sword and magic spells.

King's Field 4, and its predecessors, are sometimes considered to be the spiritual predecessors to Demon's Souls. This association is retroactively applied due to the game's dark atmosphere, cryptic storytelling, stamina based combat, and uncompromising difficulty.

High internal resolutions have issues!

The game does not scale perfectly when increasing the internal resolution. Bizarre lines will appear in liquids as well as the sky box, among other oddities. If you choose to play at a resolution other than the game's native resolution, accept that some issues will come with the increase in resolution.
