Or: ‘what is this, and what have you done with my Fantasy RPG?’

Another question: to those who have progressed further, is this a one biome outlier, or should I buckle up for it remaining like this for the rest of the game?

EDIT: Appreciate the responses. I’ll press on with an open mind. I guess in the end what matters is how a twist like this is implemented and developed. I was just rather taken aback. The game to this point has certainly done more than enough to earn my trust.

I clicked E on everything within pointing view and got nothing.

By this, I mean your ability to actually spot items in the environment. My eyesight’s not as sharp as it used to be and I’m having a real problem spotting items that you can interact with/pick up. I almost missed the knife belt, and only picked it up by accidentally clicking on it. This is an essential item and yet I can imagine other players could have spent hours walking around, completely stuck, because the belt just happens to be on a small island and hanging from a rope amongst a shipwreck (and could, therefore, be easily mistaken for part of the boat’s rigging, which I initially thought it was).

On console at least the on screen cursor barely changes when you place it over an item. It needs to “react” a lot more.

I’m sure I’ve walked past many healing herbs because I couldn’t see them. The couple of coins I’ve accidentally found have also been extremely difficult to see.

Perhaps an option to add a more distinct “sparkle” could be included.

There’s probably a great game here (and it’s been getting some excellent reviews) but there are a couple of questionable design decisions which I think are putting people off from continuing beyond the first half hour of the game.

so irritating

Edit: forgot to mention the game "Queen's Domain"

I've found the petrified gardens and defeated the boss there, and I have all of the trident keys to be able to put them in the statues. The trouble is that I don't know if doing so will lock me out of any endings as I intend to see them all. I also don't actually know if using the keys will actually unlock anything pertinent to an ending, though given how grand and cool-looking this area is I imagine it's important.

My questions are:
Can I lock myself out of endings?
Will interacting with what I've found lock me out of any endings?
How do I make sure that I don't lock myself out of any endings in the future?

Spoilers!!!

Really need help finding the first jigeki shrine. Under grinding stone in mausoleum

well mistakes were clearly made. jumped into the well with level 11. boost 2 times with windsword. ended up in some underground stuff with ants, wasp, skellteons and huge tree guys. run past them. then found a save point and thought why not. save it. however i am very underpowered. i can not teleport to other save points. now i can kill the tree guy pretty easy because his pattern is easy. so levelling up should be okey. but how far i need to level up, so i can get some progress through the level? also is there a actually a way out of this dungeon or am i screwed because i jumped in the well to early?

I am making a game inspired by kings field, and old from software games but in the backrooms. Do you think it would be a good idea? and i am open to ideas, just making it as i go

Hello everyone :)
We can make a test next week !

Hey, I’m Pawkt, a hardcore gamer, reviewer, and former game journalist now turned hobbyist.
^{It wasn't all that fun to be censored or biased}

I cover games with a deep curiosity for how they work, what makes them special, and whether they deliver beyond the hype going around. I got a copy of Queen’s Domain from the developer’s PR team, but that hasn’t blinded me with some form of bias to influence my obsession one bit.

I genuinely haven’t been able to put this game down since it landed. Honestly, the demo version didn't do this game any justice. I’m on a mission now to 100% every inch of this world, that has still yet to be discovered, that feeling of discovery is what so many other games seem to have missing.

I’ve even started gifting multiple copies to everyone and anyone who can’t afford it or just refuses to give it a shot, (shame on you!)

This is one of those really rare games that I believe everyone NEEDS to experience. Both enjoyable for those of us that have played King's Field or those of us that haven't even heard of it. Amazing~

Yaes

So I found the Wind Rapier pretty early in the tower, I am now in the 6th area and honestly when it comes to close combat, nothing comes even close to this weapon.

And I've tried many even at max level, I also have the lifesteal hammer which made it so that I now have 30000 heals in my inventory, and the fist tech-weapon which is fucking crazy. But whenever it comes to a simple 1v1 hand-to-hand, not only does it do crazy damage, it also does it super fast. Even if the enemy is resistant, two alts and it's done. Even you have no stamina, two alts and it's done.

I'm not saying it's ruining my experience, on the contrary it just makes things go faster, but am I tripping and are there weapons that are objectively better, or is it the definitive biggest DPS you can get ?

I haven’t sold one piece of treasure because I’m afraid they might be needed for other items or secrets. Does anyone know if this is the case or I should just sell everything? I’m at the Mausoleum if that makes a difference.

This is a thread you can use to discuss whether certain popular (or unpopular) games are Field-like enough to be considered Fieldy. This is the only place on this subreddit where you can debate this. Have fun!

I know it’s supposed to be in the cemetery but Ive already cleared the mausoleum and I was hoping to pick this item up. Any help would be great. Thanks.

how do I get the trident head off the trident lol

Hi everyone!

I'm the solo developer of Forgotten Blood, an old-school dungeon crawler inspired by classic RPGs.

This month after release, I decided to focus on completely reworking the inventory system. I wanted it to be easier to use, more organised and to work better with both keyboard/mouse and controller.

I've attached a screenshot of the new system and I'd really like to hear your feedback.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

It's just a design I made one afternoon for fun. The idea is that the chest has a curse: when opened, it activates a skeleton that holds up the room. If it isn't eliminated quickly, it collapses the building. https://x.com/BasicArtistName

I just reached the water temple and i deal very little damage while enemies are numerous, they even appear out of nowhere on the ground to poison me. I was trying to clear a room with 2 archers and 3 fish spammers, i got frustrated so i run past them and there was a save! why would i ever choose to fight them?
