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. Players must confront relentless enemy hordes alongside their ghostly allies. Massive, roaming knights form the game's primary antagonistic force, requiring players to scale and engage in intense, close-quarters combat.

While visually impressive, Tides of Annihilation currently lacks a compelling narrative hook. Recent soulslike games have successfully reimagined classic tales – "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 stunning visuals, the game unfortunately lacks a distinctive element to truly set it apart.
