Tides of Annihilation: a beautiful action game announced

Tides of Annihilation, a visually stunning game inspired by 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 force. Players will confront waves of enemies alongside their ghostly allies, facing colossal, roaming knights as the primary antagonists. Combat involves a unique mechanic: climbing onto these massive foes for intense, close-quarters battles.

While the game's visuals are undeniably impressive, its narrative lacks a compelling hook. Recent soulslike titles have successfully reimagined classic stories like "Journey to the West" and "Pinocchio," offering fresh perspectives. However, Tides of Annihilation's Arthurian theme feels somewhat overused, preventing it from standing out despite its visual appeal. The familiar storyline unfortunately detracts from the overall experience.
