Feels a bit like a Quintet Souls-like but isn't saying much for influencing From Soft as it more or less feels King's Field inspired itself already. Very janky and the graphics aren't much to look at. A slight improvement over Granstream Saga, mostly in tone, but it's pretty clear Quintet's heyday was on the SNES.

It's certainly an attempt, you can tell they were trying to make something that at least felt like an open world action rpg/platforming Zelda-esque dungeon crawl, but the know-how just wasn't there or it just wasn't polished enough to actually be fun.

It is pretty interesting having to time a hit to kill a slime while it is jumping at you. Definitely requires some level of patience, or a lot.
