Dive into the epic world of Tides of Annihilation, a game inspired by the timeless legends of the Knights of the Round Table. As Gwendolyn, a young woman thrust into a battle for survival, you'll join forces with ghostly knights to rescue your family and mend a fractured world. Set against the backdrop of a ravaged modern-day London, the city has fallen to a mysterious otherworldly invasion. Navigate through the overrun streets, confronting swarms of enemies with your spectral allies by your side.
The primary adversaries in Tides of Annihilation are the awe-inspiring colossal knights that dominate London's landscape. To defeat these towering foes, players must daringly climb onto them and engage in thrilling, close-quarters combat. The game's visual splendor is undeniable, offering a breathtaking experience that captivates from the first moment.
However, while the game excels in its visual appeal, it struggles to stand out in the narrative department. The soulslike genre has recently embraced a trend of reimagining classic tales, bringing fresh perspectives to well-known stories. For instance, the adaptation of "Journey to the West" introduced a novel concept to Western audiences, and the dark twist on Pinocchio in Lies of P added an intriguing layer to the familiar narrative. In contrast, Tides of Annihilation draws upon the well-trodden story of King Arthur, which, despite the game's beauty, fails to provide the unique hook that could set it apart in today's market.
