== Games == === PlayStation === The first game in the series, ''[[King's Field]]'', was released only in [[Japan]]. While it was not officially [[Internationalization and localization|localized]] into English, fans have written a full English translation [[patch (computing)|patch]].<ref name="release1">{{cite web|author=Author |url=http://agetec.yuku.com/topic/1827 |title=Release Notice |publisher=Agetec.yuku.com |date= |accessdate=2009-04-28}}</ref> In ''King's Field'', the player takes the role of John Alfred Forrester. He is searching for his missing father, Hauser Forrester, who disappeared along with his soldiers while exploring a dead king's underground [[graveyard]]. Shorter than the others in the series, ''King's Field'' includes five floors. The main aspects of gameplay consist of first-person battles, puzzle solving and exploration. After the success of the first game, ''[[King's Field II]]'' became the first in the series to be released in the [[United States]] (under the name ''King's Field''). In the sequel, the player takes the role of Alexander, the lone survivor of a shipwreck who at the behest of King Alfred tries to fulfill his duty to find and retrieve a mysterious sword from the dangerous island of Melanat. This time around, a large portion of the game takes place above ground, but the main aspects of gameplay remain unchanged: first-person battles, puzzle solving and exploration. In ''[[King's Field III]]'' (released in the US as ''King's Field II''), the player takes the role of Prince Lyle Austin Forrester (son of King Alfred) as he struggles to uncover the reasons behind his father’s sudden descent into madness and to restore peace to the suffering kingdom of Verdite. Overall gameplay remained very similar to the other King’s Field games and entails first-person battles, puzzle solving and exploration. This installment is the largest of the first three and contains various tweaks to the game's [[user interface]] which streamline controls and gameplay. === PlayStation 2 === ''[[King's Field IV]]'' (released as ''King's Field: The Ancient City'' in the US) was the first game from the series released on the PlayStation 2 console. The entire game takes place within the Land of Disaster, where the forest folk once dwelled until an evil curse came upon the land. The player takes the role of Prince Devian of the Azalin Empire who has been given the task of returning the cause of the blight, the Idol of Sorrow, back to the cursed land. His journey follows the downfall of the Kingdom of Heladin and the failed attempt to return the idol by Septiego the Sword Master who led an expedition of over 1000 men in a failed effort to return the cursed Idol. === PlayStation Portable === ''[[King's Field: Additional I]]'' is the first game of the series released on the PlayStation Portable. It was only released in Japan and was never localized to English; however, the game came with a mini-instruction manual in both English and Chinese for [[grey import]] buyers. The "Additional" series uses a step-by-step style of gameplay, rather than free-roaming. ''[[King's Field: Additional II]]'', the sequel, also only found a Japanese release, and was never localized to English. It featured the ability to import the player's character from ''Kings Field: Additional I'', including all equipment and statistics. === Microsoft Windows === ''[[Sword of Moonlight: King's Field Making Tool]]'' is a ''King's Field'' designing tool for the [[Microsoft Windows]] platform which was released in Japan. It lets the user construct free-standing ''King's Field'' games which may be played independently, without having Sword of Moonlight installed. It also contains a full remake of the first ''King’s Field'' game originally released on the PlayStation.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.fromsoftware.jp/main/soft/som.html |title=From Software Product Details |publisher=Fromsoftware.jp |date= |accessdate=2009-04-28}}</ref> Fans have written a full English translation [[patch (computing)|patch]].<ref name="release1"/> A recent fan-made addition to the King's Field series was released on December 24, 2009, titled "Dark Destiny", it follows the story between the original King's Field in Japan and the first U.S. King's Field release. === Mobile phones === ''[[King's Field Mobile]]'' is a KF title released in Japan but was available for purchase and download to anyone with a compatible cellular phone platform.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.fromcapsule.jp/kf.html |title=From Mobile Product |publisher=Fromcapsule.jp |date= |accessdate=2009-04-28}}</ref> It was followed by two sequels: ''[[King's Field Mobile 2]]'',<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.fromcapsule.jp/kfm2.html |title=From Mobile Product |publisher=Fromcapsule.jp |date= |accessdate=2009-04-28}}</ref> and ''[[King's Field EX]]''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.fromcapsule.jp/kfex.html |title=From Mobile Product |publisher=Fromcapsule.jp |date= |accessdate=2009-04-28}}</ref>
