The game tosses you into a fight right away, giving players a feel for its weighty and impactful combat. Consecutive playthroughs, by means of New Game+ and New Game++, remove this constraint. ![]() Magic, however, is restricted to a single choice and will augment combat for the duration of the campaign the first time around. The classes can be changed at the player’s leisure through armor and weapon swaps. In the beginning Harkyn has to choose from three classes - Rogue, Warrior, and Cleric - and three sets of magic - offensive, defensive, and stealth. For those of you ready to write off this game I say, “Wait! There is good to be found here.” The combat is the core pillar of Lords of the Fallen and it is the sole aspect pushing the game above its other underdeveloped traits. In its defense, the graphical fidelity and overall attractiveness of the locations were notable, although I can only speak for the PC version. Given the scarcity in distinguishing characteristics, exploration can become rather confusing as you attempt to navigate from one area to another via (easily missable) connecting doorways. Snow lightly coats the ground around large stonework structures connected by claustrophobic corridors. Lords of the Fallen’s separate regions are all inspired similarly. The Souls series has always captivated players with its varied and unique environments, each sporting a different feel. Spoiler: here comes another Souls reference. Unfortunately, this disappointment carries over into the atmosphere. A straight-forward, story-driven Dark Souls game could have been something great, but that’s not what we have here. I found more information about the world in the audio log-style scrolls scattered throughout the environment than I did viewing any of the game’s cutscenes. In fact, it seems to almost come as an afterthought. It’s an interesting enough premise to kick off the game, but sadly it’s never explored or expanded upon in any meaningful way. This threat, known as the Rhogar, is spreading across the land and only a man as nefarious as Harkyn can stop it. What are your hopes? Comment Below.Lords of the Fallen follows convicted criminal Harkyn, a man whose many sins can be seen tattooed on his face, as he is released from his cell to take on an evil threatening the world. Also hopefully with a tease letting us know that it is being made we will see it in a couple years. I am excited even if it is the same difficulty and length, but I can still hope. Once again no details have been released for Lords of The Fallen 2, the only thing clear is that it is being made. For a game this size it should not be able to be beaten that quick even for a speedrunner. Speed runners of the game have gotten the game beaten in under an hour. The first play of Lords took a bit longer than subsequent plays, but even the first only took fourteen hours. Let's hope we can avoid things like this.Īnother hope for the game is the amount of content. ![]() I would like to have more of a challenge when approaching this style game. When I played through Lords of The Fallen I had only died a handful of times. As a fan of the difficulty of Souls games I hope that they increase the difficulty range in Lords II. There are no details about the sequel, but as a fan of the game I have only a couple speculative hopes. (PICTURED BELOW) After translating it brought only good news confirming that Lords of The Fallen 2 is in fact under way. ![]() I am fortunate enough to have Tomaz on my friend list so it was easy enough to scroll down his old posts and sure enough there was a post written that I didn't understand except for the words Lords of The Fallen 2. When browsing I had read rumors of Lords of The Fallen 2 being confirmed by Tomaz himself around the date of December 17th. I originally scrolled past this post of his as it was written in Polish and I don't read Polish.
