One trend we have noticed over the years is the increasing amount of Souls-like games taking over traditional action RPG games. In other words, fans have been craving satisfying hack-and-slash titles with flashy combat and deep lore over slow and tanky enemies.
This issue has started to resolve itself with the reveal of upcoming Chinese action games like Phantom Blade Zero, Lost Soul Aside, and the newly revealed Tides of Annihilation.
Announced at the recent PlayStation State of Play, Tides of Annihilation is a single-player action RPG that is set in a post-apocalyptic London. Now, the Chinese studio, Eclipse Glow Games, has revealed extended gameplay for the game.
Why it matters: The new Tides of Annihilation extended gameplay has skyrocketed player excitement.
The new gameplay reveal takes players through heart-pounding combat sequences and an eventual encounter with a boss.
The video also unveils that Tides of Annihilation heavily resembles Devil May Cry and Final Fantasy 16, a comparison you can’t help but make after being immersed in the gameplay for over 10 minutes.
Tides of Annihilation also features unique combat mechanics, such as spirit-based fighting where players can summon spectral knights to aid in battle.
Another thing that has massively appealed to fans is the gorgeous character designs, something that Chinese developers have mastered compared to the West in recent years.
No release date has been announced yet, but Tides of Annihilation will launch on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
