FromSoftware's King's Field laid the blueprint for pretty much the entire Souls series – unsettling atmosphere, mysterious worlds, and brutal difficult – and while the Japan-only PS1 original is well-known among modern fans these days, the same can't be said for its similarly region-locked 2004 mobile port. That's just changed, however, as the once lost phone version has been found, preserved, and even translated into English.
This 2004 phone version of King's Field was developed internally by FromSoftware itself, and features different map layouts alongside some improved quality-of-life features, like quick-saving and automaps. It's still a first-person dungeon-crawler that might look primitive to a modern eye, but in the context of early '00s phones, it's darned impressive.
