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 invasion. Players confront relentless enemy hordes alongside their ghostly allies. Massive, roaming knights form the game's primary antagonists, requiring players to scale and engage in intense, close-quarters combat.

While visually impressive, Tides of Annihilation suffers from a familiar narrative. The recent trend of soulslike games reimagining classic tales has yielded fresh interpretations (like the Western adaptation of "Journey to the West" or the surprising twist on Pinocchio in Lies of P). However, the King Arthur storyline feels overused, leaving Tides of Annihilation, despite its visual appeal, lacking a truly unique selling point.
