Inspired by the Arthurian legends, Tides of Annihilation casts players as Gwendolyn, a young woman fighting alongside spectral knights to save her family and mend a fractured 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 ghostly allies into relentless combat. A key challenge lies in battling colossal knights that roam the city, demanding players scale these behemoths for intense, close-quarters battles.
While visually stunning, the game's narrative currently lacks a compelling hook. Recent soulslike titles have successfully reimagined classic stories – Journey to the West offered a fresh perspective to Western audiences, and Lies of P put a unique spin on Pinocchio. However, the King Arthur mythos has been extensively explored, leaving Tides of Annihilation, despite its visual appeal, without a similarly distinctive narrative element.
