If you want to play the original JP King's Field DO NOT PLAY THIS VERSION. Emulate a fan translation of the original PSX rom.
The game runs fine enough and the gameplay loop is engaging but the end of the game is nearly impossible compared to the original. Almost every enemy in the final area can one shot you with their ranged magic, all of the grinding spots in the original are entirely unavailable, almost all of the endgame loot is bugged and unobtainable and the final boss has a health pool that can make the fight take literal hours. It's sort of baffling that this was ever even made, it's so insanely hostile even when compared to all of fromsofts other games and it's entirely by accident it seems.
