Inspired by the legends of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table, Tides of Annihilation casts players as Gwendolyn, a young woman battling alongside ghostly knights to save her family and mend a shattered world.
The game unfolds in a ravaged, modern-day London, overrun by a mysterious otherworldly invasion. Hordes of enemies swarm the streets, forcing Gwendolyn and her spectral allies into desperate combat. Among the most formidable foes are colossal, roaming knights, demanding intense, acrobatic battles where players must scale these behemoths to engage them directly.
While visually stunning, Tides of Annihilation unfortunately lacks a compelling narrative hook. Recent soulslike games have successfully reimagined classic stories—Journey to the West offered a fresh perspective, and Lies of P put a unique spin on Pinocchio. However, the Arthurian legend has been extensively explored, leaving Tides of Annihilation, despite its visual appeal, feeling somewhat derivative.
