Mask of Eternity features a brand new main character, who can run, jump, and fight with melee and projectile weapons, and a first-person perspective that's about the only way to use a crossbow reliably. (Not that the women were particularly beloved anymore after King's Quest VII.) Instead, Sierra decided that, since adventure games were on their way out (just ask Lucasarts, right?), they would tap into a genre that was growing in popularity - the first-person shooter. It abandons everything that the King's Quest series had - interesting stories, challenging puzzles, and the beloved main characters of the royal family of Daventry. Okay, I paraphrase, but the fact remains that this game isn't very good, and Sierra knew it. Weapons and armor can be found or bought for money obtained from defeated foes.The King's Quest Wiki tells many sad stories concerning the eighth entry in the series, including the reason for the lack of a Roman numeral - Roberta Williams didn't want people to associate this travesty with the earlier, good games in the series. RPG elements are present in character development: Connor gains experience points from vanquishing enemies and completing tasks, and eventually levels up, increasing his hit points and combat parameters. Some portions of the game also include environmental hazards the protagonist has to avoid, or jumping puzzles reminiscent of platform games. It doesn't entirely depart from its adventure roots, however, featuring commands for looking, talking to people, picking up objects, and using them to solve inventory-based puzzles.Ĭonnor may encounter hostile creatures and can fight them using his melee weapons or bow. Gameplay-wise, it differs from its predecessors by introducing considerable action and role-playing elements. King's Quest: Mask of Eternity is the eighth installment in the King's Quest series, and the first one done completely in 3D. He must now search for the other pieces of the Mask, repair it, and face Lucreto in the Realm of Sun. As he picks up the fragment, he finds out that all the inhabitants of the land have been turned into stone. One of such pieces falls down, right under the feet of a simple peasant and fighter named Connor. But on an ominous day, Lucreto, the leader of the Archons, turns evil and shatters the Mask into pieces. Powerful beings known as Archons dwell there, guarding the Mask of Eternity, which preserves balance in the world. The Realm of Sun is a magical world situated above the Kingdom of Daventry.
