Tides of Annihilation gameplay and story details

Tides of Annihilation is an action game set in London, which has been destroyed and taken over by an invasion of foes from another realm.

As the knight Gwendolyn – the last-known surviving human of London – it is up to you to battle against these invaders and unravel the mysteries of this twisted Arthurian legend fantasy version of modern-day London.

During your adventure, you’ll come across colossal knights roaming Greater London in what look like potentially awe-inspiring battles of humongous scale.

Speaking of battles, Tides of Annihilation features a "unique knightly combat system that allows you to command a band of over ten legendary knights. Inspired by Arthurian lore, each knight brings unique skills and abilities to your team," according to Steam's listing of the game at least.

Rather than read about, though, it’s worth checking out the 11-minute gameplay trailer to see the flashy game in action:

The Mirror Combat gameplay trailer needs to be seen, too, showcasing how you can control two characters at the same time as each other in different realms.
