## Key points

- Queen’s Domain pays homage to FromSoftware’s King’s Field.
- Its island combines eerie scenery with maze-like exploration.
- A sword provides both combat and traversal abilities.

## Summary

Queen’s Domain is a first-person fantasy action RPG from Freshly Baked Games, designed as an homage to FromSoftware’s King’s Field series. The writer says that, despite never having played King’s Field, around five hours with the game have already made it one of their favourite games of the year.

The story follows Prince Beriik, shipwrecked while searching for his missing father on an island threatened by the undead Queen Siraatsu’s forces. The review praises the island’s low-resolution visuals, eerie soundtrack and winding layout, which make finding routes and exploring its landmarks feel like a puzzle. The excerpt ends as the writer describes a sword that also helps Beriik cross gaps.
