KING'S FIELD, WIKI, INFO, SETUP AND PLAYING GUIDE, AND MORE

King's Field is an Action RPG developed by From and ASCII entertainment, the series started in 1994 and it's spiritual successors we are all playing right now. This is a guide to what it is, how to play it (I'm hoping I can manage for free), tips and tricks and other information.

Wikipedia Article, a much more in-depth look at the series.

Sword of Moonlight, a large fansite thats still active that makes custom KF games in case DaS2 gets you down. You can even make your own fangames from their game making software which includes a translation patch and extra editing tools.

Lore site that if it works (and sometimes it doesnt) gives you a grand overview of pretty much the entire series.

Emulation and getting started, sadly had to outsource to /emugen/ to get some emulation info and of course the ability to play the game free and easily. The hardest part of PSX or PS1 emulation is thei BiOS files which had to be ripped from an actual PSX or PS1, it should have links to set everything up. I personally use ePSXe much to /emugen/'s chagrin.

Controllers, if your gonna play this I reccomend a controller. Make sure you read the guide very carefully for the PS3 controller or XBOX360 controller. It's not hard but you need to be able to troubleshoot a ton.
