Developers at studio Eclipse Glow Games have shared details about the inspiration for their dark fantasy action game Tides of Annihilation. The creators admit that they were inspired not only by gaming classics like the original God of War trilogy, Shadow of the Colossus, Devil May Cry and the Final Fantasy series, but also from cult animation and comics.
According to the author, the key mechanism for summoning the Knights of the Round Table to fight alongside the protagonist Gwendolyn is a direct reference to the stands in “JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure.”
In our game, the knight appears and fights alongside Gwendolyn. This mechanic is very similar to the stands in JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure. We love JoJo, and that influence is clearly visible in the way the knight appears on the battlefield and interacts with the heroine.
As for the atmosphere of confrontation between mortals and supernatural beings and the design of the grotesque opponents, the team here was guided by Kentaro Miura’s manga “Berserk”. Additionally, the famed Japanese Destiny series has had a significant impact on rethinking the classics of Arthurian myth and chivalric legend.
Let us remind you that Tides of Annihilation is scheduled to release on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.
