Gonna have to disagree. I actually played ancient city way back when on ps2. I’d have to say it was most similar to resident evil having a baby with a doom mod. Dark, yes, but only dark. Otherwise, its hard to distinguish from any other fps style horror/adventure title.
Armored core, on the other hand, has the scale and the engagement that is much more in line with later souls releases. Kings Field has the tone, but Armored Core has literally everything else.
I’d argue that King’s Field is the OG Souls game though, not Armored Core
