Tides of Annihilation: a beautiful action game announced

Tides of Annihilation, drawing inspiration from Arthurian legend, casts players as Gwendolyn, a young woman battling alongside spectral knights to rescue her family and mend a fractured world.

The game unfolds in a ravaged, modern-day London, overrun by a mysterious otherworldly invasion. Gwendolyn and her team confront relentless enemy hordes in the ravaged streets. Massive, roaming knights form the game's primary antagonists, requiring players to scale and engage in intense, close-quarters combat.

While visually impressive, the game currently lacks a compelling narrative hook. Recent soulslike titles have successfully reimagined classic stories; "Journey to the West" offered a fresh perspective to Western audiences, and "Lies of P" provided a unique twist on Pinocchio. However, the King Arthur narrative feels overused and familiar. Despite its visual appeal, Tides of Annihilation unfortunately lacks that element of originality to truly set it apart.
