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 force. Gwendolyn and her team must confront relentless enemy hordes swarming the city streets. The game's primary antagonists are colossal, roaming knights, demanding strategic combat that involves scaling and engaging in intense close-quarters battles.

While visually impressive, Tides of Annihilation suffers from a familiar narrative. The recent trend of soulslike games reimagining classic tales has yielded fresh interpretations (e.g., Journey to the West and Lies of P). However, the Arthurian legend feels overused, leaving Tides of Annihilation, despite its visual appeal, lacking a truly unique selling point.
