King's Field IV (known as King's Field: The Ancient City in North America) is the fourth game in the King's Field RPG series. Like both its successor and predecessors, the game is played through first person view in a dark and mysterious, medieval fantasy setting.

The game was developed by the Japanese game development company From Software, and released October 4, 2001 in Japan, and March 25, 2002 in the U.S. [1][2] On March 28, 2003, almost exactly a year after Agetec's release, the UK based publisher Metro 3D released the PAL version, with some translation changes compared to the NTSC release. The game has only been released for the PlayStation 2 console.

Synopsis

An accursed idol responsible for the destruction of an ancient race has resurfaced to wreak havoc once again among the kingdoms of man. You must return the idol to the Ancient City to break its curse, but monsters of unspeakable horror haunt the ruins. There is a palpable fear in the air of the Ancient City--even the monsters themselves fear the evil that has returned.

Treasures beyond imagination await the warrior bold enough to attempt the journey, strong enough to face the minions of death, and wise enough to follow the path that leads to the essence of light. Use your sword arm well to rid the land of a potent curse. Be aware that should the sword fail, you have the magical arts to serve you in your quest. Learn the proper time and place for each or you too shall be counted amongst those lost forever.
