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. Gwendolyn and her team must confront relentless enemy hordes swarming the city streets. 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 lack of originality in its narrative. Recent soulslike games have successfully reimagined classic tales, such as the relatively unknown "Journey to the West" and the twisted retelling of Pinocchio in Lies of P. However, the King Arthur narrative feels overused and lacks the fresh perspective needed to truly captivate. Despite its visual splendor, the game unfortunately lacks a unique selling point.
