Das Kampfsystem ist reiner Zufall. Ich sehe den Schlag, Ich drücke die rechte Maustaste um zu blocken...booom! Trotzdem geht der Schaden voll durch. Nächster Schlag kommt, ich drücke wieder rechte Maustaste...ping...geblockt. Oh wow wie ist das jetzt passiert?
In dem Moment wo man sich noch über den Block freut kommt der Rückhandschwinger und boom wieder vollen Schaden eingesteckt. ... Ach ja und die Ausweichrolle. Super! Ausweichrolle! Cooool!
Ich rolle mich also zu Seite als der Schlag kommt...der Gegner dreht sich aber einfach im Kreis mit und erwischt mich dann trotzdem mit dem Schlag.
Komischerweise kann ein Gegner auch jeden meiner Angriffe unterbrechen indem er selber einfach rein schlägt.
Natürlich kassiert man dabei jedes mal den kompletten Schaden. Man selber hat aber keine Möglichkeit Angriffe des Gegners zu unterbrechen.
Nachdem ich so 45 Minuten damit zugebracht habe den ersten Gegner platt zu kloppen und dabei entweder zu sterben oder knapp zu überleben, nur um dann beim nächsten Gegner drauf zu gehen weil man zwischenzeitlich keine HP regenerieren kann, hab ich das Spiel wieder deinstalliert. Ein Kampfsystem, dass dermaßen träge und zufällig ist hat die rein Optisch gute Aufmachung komplett ins negative gerissen.

The game has 2 basic problems, but unfortunately they destroy the whole game. Firstly, the enemy design is pretty bad. Many enemies have a shield that they only take off when they attack. You have no time at all to hit them. This results in long waits for the magic glove to charge. This is a secondary weapon that you get relatively early and ignores shields. However, you always wait until the magic is charged. Secondly, the movement feels cruel, you are always slow no matter how light the armor is. Quite fun for a few hours, but not really worth the time.

Ein solider Dark Souls Clon für Fans der Reihe. Hier ist zwar damals sehr viel kopiert worden, aber ich denke lieber gut kopiert als schlecht ausgedacht. Was ich schön fand, war die Möglichkeit eine bessere Version einer Bosswaffe zu bekommen, wenn man den Boss auf eine bestimmte Art und Weise gelegt hat. Das war dann noch mal eine extra Herausforderung.

Ich denke hier wurden 70% von dem erreicht, was bei Dark Souls erreicht wurde und wenn man das Spiel im Sale kauft, bekommt man eine gute Zeit an Unterhaltung für kleines Geld. Etwas unpoliert, etwas Probleme bei den Hitboxen, manchmal etwas Träge aber man ist ja auch irgendwo Verwöhnt in dem Genre und ich würde nie Empfehlen erst ein Meisterwerk zu spielen und direkt im Anschluss dann einen Clon davon.

Hitbox ist einfach null realistisch. Stehst neben dem Angriff und bekommst dennoch den One-Hit... Einfach nur sinnfrei schon nach 10 Minuten den ersten Boss zu droppen, der einen 47x killt. Ich möchte das Spiel vielleicht auch erstmal ein wenig spielen, bevor ich permanent sterbe.

Lords of the Fallen ist ein Fantasy-Rollenspiel mit rasanter Action und schlichter Story. Es braucht in den Kämpfen eine Menge Achtsamkeit und ein zu erlernendes Wissen über euren Charakter und die Gegner, um Aussicht auf Erfolg zu haben. Das Kampfsystem von Lords of the Fallen legt einen großen Fokus auf das richtige Timing bei Blocks, Ausweichrollen und Kontern und das Management einer Energieleiste, die euch all diese Aktionen durchführen lässt. Allerdings lässt euch Lords of the Fallen immer etwas mehr Zeit als das große Vorbild, ganz egal, ob es um das Timing für Ausweichmanöver und Blocks oder das Einnehmen von Tränken geht. Für ausgemachte Dark Souls-Veteranen klingt das vielleicht nach einem Spaziergang, alle anderen finden aber eben eine angenehme Herausforderung. Eine Herausforderung, bei der ihr ein Gespür dafür entwickeln müsst, welche Angriffe wie lange dauern und nach welchen Angriffsrhythmen eure monströsen Gegner agieren. Im Großen und Ganzen scheint sich Lords aber weitaus stärker darauf zu konzentrieren, dass seine Spieler am Ende etwas mehr Spaß als Frust verspüren und unterwirft sich spätestens dann etwas zu sehr seinem Spieler, wenn ihr viel zu früh eine magische Fernkampffähigkeit bekommt, die bei leichteren Gegnern den Nahkampf fast obsolet macht. Seine Herausforderung baut Lords of the Fallen auch auf ein Risk-Reward-System, bei dem ihr ebenfalls nicht nur um euer Leben, sondern auch um eure Erfahrung spielt. An bestimmten Punkten könnt ihr euren Fortschritt in der Welt speichern und die bis dahin gesammelte Erfahrung in die Weiterentwicklung eures Charakters investieren. Ihr könnt aber auch weiterkämpfen und so noch mehr Erfahrung pro besiegtem Feind sammeln. Und wenn euch doch mal – und das wird vorkommen – das Zeitliche segnet, gibt euch Lords of the Fallen nur begrenzt Zeit um die verlorene Erfahrung wieder einzusammeln. Ein einfaches, aber gut funktionierendes System, das seinen Teil dazu beiträgt, dass man sich den Anspruch von Lords of the Fall bis zu einem gewissen Punkt auch selber definieren kann.

Absolutely loved The Surge thats why i got LOTF on sale and so far im super disappointed. The Graphic looks terrible and is set, there is no option for it. The Soundtrack is kinda boring and uninspired especially from Boss Fights i expected a different kinda thing, which also leads me to the difficulty which is so far (killed first 2 bosses) not existing. Basically walked through every enemy and mentioned bosses without being even close to die a single time. The super clunky combat is okayish, could look over that if the rest of the game would be cool which unfortunately isnt. Poor souls like attempt, not recommended.

Holt euch lieber Dark Souls.
Die Schildgegner sind einfach nur ultra nervig und blocken einfach alles. Schild wegschlagen nicht möglich. Bedeutet man kann nur gegen den Schild schlagen (und 1 Schaden machen) oder mit verdammt viel Glück mal einen Schlag hinbekommen nachdem man ausgewichen ist. Aber das hat sehr viel mehr mit Glück zu tun als mit allem anderen.
Teilweise verliert man auch den Fokus auf Gegner was unglaublich nervig ist.

Es ist teilweise nicht möglich Angriffen auszuweichen, da die Hitbox der Gegner, insbesondere Bosse, viel zu groß ist.

Es macht wirklich sehr viel Spaß. Die Story ist gut, die Boss-Fights sind herausfordernd und auch die Spannung im Spiel ist wirklich sehr gut.
Auch die Auswahl zwischen den drei Klassen und das erlernen neuer Fähigkeiten und Zauber sind echt gut gelungen.

Für den Preis absolut jeden Cent wert (4.79€). Wenn man einmal die Gegner kennt sind sie leicht zu besiegen, aber mit Ungeduld wird man durchgehend sterben :D
Die Story bleib recht schwach, was meinen Spielspass nicht beeinflussen konnte.
Ich habe das Game sehr genossen und 2-3 Crashes erlebt in der gesamten Spielzeit.
Schade dass die NG+ Erfolg-Glitches nicht behoben wurden :P

This game is not Dark Souls. If you're looking for Dark Souls, play Dark Souls.

That out of the way, it's a decent title. Is the level design annoying at times? Yes. Are the enemies annoying and built to disrupt a player? Yes. Is the combat slow and rigid? Compared to Dark Souls 3, sure.

Is it unplayable? Not by any stretch of the imagination. There WILL be a learning curve, but honestly this game is much easier than a Souls title. Does it have to be? Yeah, kinda, with no summons of any kind. Is that a bad thing? That's up to you.

I recommend getting gud.

nemies have unbelievable levels of tracking on the attacks; I saw a boss almost doing a 360 slide to catch me.

he dodge roll doesn't seem to have almost any iframes to make no shield playstyles viable; trust me, whatever you're picturing in your mind, I guarantee it's twice worse. A little disclaimer: I don't mind using rolls to outspace enemies, but this game is just so painfully slow with it, that starting that is already a fucking pain, and then when you finally do it, the roll is a pitifully short thing even on light weight.

ost weapons are just so fucking slow, which actually wouldn't be a problem if you could just not get interrupted while swinging a refrigerator in this game. In fact, the entire game (as in what I've played before ragequitting) basically screws anyone who's trying to use something mildly slow because there is no benefit to it: you'll find faster weapons dealing the same damage as heavy ones and the faster you swing, the smaller the odds of getting interrupted by a mouse's fart.

here is a massive amount of shield turtles with too little resources to deal with in this game. Yes, I was actually spamming the clone magic that is supposed to draw aggro, but it's a coin flip as the game goes on and some enemies have the added benefit of having completely fucked up hitboxes for the shields, with the player being able to go to their side where the shield clearly isn't protecting, doing an attack that doesn't even hit the shield and having it bounce back, then getting countered for 99% health while wearing full fucking plate.

agic takes a year and a half to use in this game, and since you can't sprint backwards while locked on, the controls to gain distance to cast the fucking thing are very inconvenient to use.

he backstab hitboxes are fucked beyond redemption.

There's more, but this is just a bit of the complete shitstorm of balancing that is this game, and I honest to God think the developers should be the ones giving me 3 dollars to play this thing. I'm not even saying they made this bad on purpose, I just think it was a case of either overwhelming incompetence or lack of permission to fix even the most basic problems of it. The premise is interesting, but premise alone isn't enough to make me not mentally break a controller; just seriously don't touch this game - whoever gives it a positive review is a fucking lunatic.

First and foremost, terrible performance. The game itself runs smoothly, but while running, my audio is constantly stuttering. Gameplay wise, very clunky combat: the roll has negligeable i-frames. This means it is meant to be used to outspace attacks instead of being used to evade. The combat is also slow: combine this with the fact that the roll is only realistically used to get you out of dicey situations (instead of being used to open up the enemy to offensive plays) makes for very boring combat (mind numbingly slow).

I think this game is critically underrated with only mixed reviews. Its a nice souls like with some changes to the formula.

Graphics still hold up until this day (2022) but the camera sometimes really had issues to keep enemies focused. Also target switching sometimes did not work as intended and stabbing just does not work on certain enemy types. I also encountered some minor bugs but nothing game breaking.

More polish on some edges would have bean great and difficulty scaling was sometimes a bit off but all in all I really enjoyed it.

This game has a horrible difficulty curve, you'll go from two shotting enemies to dealing 17 damage to an enemy that has 500 hp, infinite poise, dodges, shield hugs and has one shot potential, some even heal.

The first two bosses are shield huggers and the rest of the bosses never allow you a window of opportunity for attack, their animations just reset too quickly so this game has achievments for taking no damage on a boss battle but all it does it promote trading hits.

I like the idea of the game, the lore is captivating, the environment is detailed and the weapons/armors look cool but everything about gameplay is extremely frustrating, i'd watch someone play this but i hate playing it.

I will finish this game because i'd hate to leave it halfway done, but i really don't recommend anyone to play this.

Ok now i want to say that the game is kind of interesting, but there are SO MANY annoying little things.

The graphics are pretty good no complains there and the combat is a standard Souls like, but damn does it feel clunky and janky. Everything you do seems like your character is moving under water and it's frustrating considering how fast some enemies can be, combine this with practically unbreakable hyper armour/poise and it's a recipe for ripping your hairs out. The issues start when you're forced to fight multiple enemies in open areas. You get assaulted from all sides moving slowly trying to reposition and dodge while hitting anything seems almost like it has 0 impact. This is without mentioning all the backtracking you have to do and the lack of useful shortcuts and when you do find short cuts it's hard to tell, because so much of the game just looks the same. Finally the bosses. Admittedly i've only faced and killed 3, but they all seem more annoying than hard. It feels almost like artificial difficulty for the sake of difficulty. Their moves are for the most part basic and slow, but they constantly turtle behind shield and summon minions turning it into annoying little gank fights which seems to be done to cover up the fact that they only have 3-5 moves at best.

I will probably finish this game for the challenge, but i can't really recommend spending money on it. You're probably better off playing Dark Souls in all honesty.

I can't in good faith recommend this game but you may enjoy it regardless.
The game looks great with the design of the characters and voice acting is well done.
The story seems like it could be alright and interesting but I didn't play long enough.
Okay the worst part of this game is the slow and clunky gameplay. Waste of potential, dare to dream if a mod was made to make the movement, attacks and abilities more responsive. I think I've been spoiled by all of the FromSoftware games.

[played strength]
1/10 awful all around, only gave a 1 for the graphics
Player & enemy attacks are slow and clunky, the ai is extremely lacking, boring, and buggy. Bosses have no interesting attacks or features just constantly holding a shield & attacking every so often, breaking shields is close to impossible, you do extremely little damage against them, which would be fine without how messy the ai is, and their attacks track in 360 degrees, aka, you can't walk right non-stop and avoid a forward attack, u have to dodge away as you don't get invincibility through rolling. The only deeming quality about the game is the graphics, graphics 10/10 really enjoyable to look at, wish the gameplay was the same.
Still reading? Just get dark souls 3. Played it already? Look for something else & wait for Elden Ring. This is not worth your time I promise you.

Janky souls.

I tried to play this game three times, all those times i dropped after 2 or 3 hours, everything in this game feels so absurdly slow that the game became boring.

Even doing a dex and dagger build the character still slow as a cement block.

Honestly with so many good souls like games in the market i cant see a reason to play this game.

It's a good game overall and a decent Soulslike.

The major complaint from players since Lords of Fallen release is the supposedly mandatory heavy and slow gameplay.
While it's true most of builds are heavy tanks, giving to the game a really slow and heavy gameplay feeling, you still can build your character with speed and agility in mind. Personnaly that is what I've done. I buildt a character with light armor, dagger or shortsword+shield and the gameplay was much more fast and agile.
So it's possible and builds like that perform very well.

+ beautiful graphics and animations (still fantastic in 2022)
+ good level design
+ a lot of well designed loot
+ well made fighting mechanics
+ good build customization (from super heavy tanks to super agile swashbucklers)
+ a lot of secrets loots and areas

- underwhelming magic
- bosses patterns and fighting style very similar from one to another

I enjoyed it and recommend for any people who likes Souls games.
And I insist: YOU CAN MAKE AGILE AND SPEED BASED BUILDS

Lords of the Fallen is another victim of journalists that see anything harder than finding a way to the bathroom in sunday morning challenging like Dark Souls (which is actually not that hard, but that's whole other topic). Only thing it took from DS, if you can even count it as that, is stamina management, and that's it.
It's short and small action RPG with identity crisis and lack of budget that was still kind of pushed as AAA game with 50€ price tag.
It feels more like those AA lower budget games that are made by Spiders, it has the same limitations, but unlike Spiders here they don't even try to throw anything interesting. And you can feel it was at first planned as that type of RPG with repetitive, annoying sound and mission objective display in the corner of the screen. It's pointless, because there is no quest log, there is no map and it's easy to get lost (in the second half of the game).

Good:
- graphics still look great and art direction is decent
- castle and it's surroundings look nice
- you can feel weight of the weapons
- armors look great
- it's short

Bad:
- buggy, from enemies doing 180 ruining your opportunity to hit, flying off screen, to bosses just getting stuck and being immortal, forcing you to fight it again (IF you have problem with crashes, turn off Turbulance - while it is nice effect, it's mostly unnoticable and this setting causes crashes)
- writing that ranges from mediocre to downright wretched (Yetka)
- small enemy variety and really crappy shield enemies
- heinous last act that artifically prolongs the game by not giving you any hint and lack of direction, where you go through the same corridors fighting the same enemies. Without that, it could be finished probably way under 10 hours.
- backtracking
- pretty much no balance at all

Unless you have nothing to play and see it for 1€ on sale, just stay away from it, unless you can bear the mediocrity. It's almost good at what it does and it's almost good game and you can feel there was serious work put to make it, but it doesn't change much when it's a game hard to recommend and not that enjoyable to finish.

I was searching for a good single player game to have fun on so I stumbled upon this one which I remember looked great.

Maybe two years ago I putted two hours into it, I abandonned on the second boss fight.

Today I abandonned on third boss fight, so it is a little further than my previous playthrough. I thought I was about to throw my controller out the window...
If I am bad at Dark Souls-like games I can understand, but I legitimately ragequitted for - I think - legit reasons :

- Some fights on really small areas that will become difficult not because enemies are strong, but rather that objects like benches, pillars, vase pots will make the rooms narrow. Lack of space to move in, the camera blocking within every walls so it zooms-in and out a lot...
- Speed is really weirdly managed : I was ending up pulling faster hitting movements with a hammer as opposed to a small one-handed hatchet, which doesn't make sense.
- Camera lock is a problem on a lot of games, this one included. It can't automatically find that one little enemy lurking beside the boss so I happened to die few times for this particular reason.
- Little mobs (bosses' minions) are really fast and deal small hits, if we correlate it to the fact that the game is slow, it is already a pain to throw a hit on an animation that lasts a long 5 seconds, for just a small mob to literally cancel it all the motion with one hit. Come on...
- Underwhelming dialogs between characters.

Great things about the game :

- OST is really good, epic theme making it immersive.
- Animations are well-made. (even if too slow)
- The textures are great, it looks great in general. (for its age)
- Art style is unbelievable.
- Clever idea around spending experience points on either magical points or attributes points.

It was such a struggle that I ended up not wanting to continue the adventure. I don't think it is about difficulty but more so about bad design.

So I don't recommend the game for this actual price of 30€, mostly because gameplay is more valuable than visuals and it failed in that regard.

It's an ok experience, worth it on sale but probably wouldn't pay full price for it. Has some good dark souls elements with fun combat and exploration, but also janky at times with the slower combat and the camera loves to shake all the damn time. Some enemies are also very annoying to fight, especially human guards.

I enjoyed my playthrough either way, so I give it a reccomendation.

Honestly, the best soulslike along with Jedi Fallen Order. Had a lot of technical issues on launch due to DRM, but fixed and runs great even on dusty old laptops (I completed this on a laptop running and i5 and GT720). Aesthetically closer to Warhammer than Dark Souls, which is also something I really liked, and it holds up after all these years. People that like to obsses over these games and do min/max runs will find lots to do.
Yeah, story mostly sucks, but that's basically what you're to expect with this kind of games.

Why anyone would play this over Dark Souls is beyond me. The controls are clunky... theres an option to make them almost identical to Dark Souls controls, but even then they still feel sluggish. Enemies are generally faster than you, meaning your only option is to wait and dodge until the game decides you can hit them or attack them with magic from long range. The magic meter takes 10 years to fill up btw, so plenty of waiting and running around just dodging in combat. It copies Dark Souls while also stripping back what makes Dark Souls fun.

Enemies are sponges. Big boys with shields legit take like 5 minutes of tedious side dodging and spamming ranged magic just to take down one of them.

Simply put, if you want something like Dark Souls or the souls like genre there are much better games out there.

ALSO THE GAME CRASHED ONCE AND THE BONFIRE BROKE IN ONLY 4 HOURS OF GAMEPLAY. ITS 2021 AND IM PLAYING A 2014 GAME. THERE SHOULD BE NO GAME BREAKING GLITCHES AND CRASHES.

Is this game a flawless masterpiece? lol hell no. Am I having a good time with it considering it seems to be on sale for $5 like all the time? Hell yes.

Listen, it's clunky, it's pretty linear, and it's not really that hard for a Souls-like. But it has a really clear identity, which I think helps a lot, and if you actually enjoy the chunkiness the combat can be pretty fun. There's nothing wrong with enjoying a game that is just slightly past thumbs in the middle, and that's where I'm at with this. It's not a great game, but it's a good one and I'm having a good time.

At first i was conflicted about this game, but after playing it more and more i become certain that this is a bad game.
I do not recommend this game for anyone, if buy it the most you should pay for it is 5 euro.

Graphics:
It looks good enough.
Story:
There is barely any.
Characters:
You do not really know anything about them so there is no reason to care about them.
Game mechanics:
This game has the worst combat out of all the souls like games that i have played.
Every one of your attacks/abilities slow as hell, it feels like you are in slow motion while the enemy is at normal speed, because of that the game becomes boring and annoying fast.
You have light/heavy attacks, shield bash and abilities.
Light/heavy attack: Heavy attacks barely do more damage than light attacks so there is not much reason to use it. It can not be used to break the enemys posture either.
Shield bash: It is worthless. It can not be used to break the enemys posture either.
Abilities: At the start of the game you can choose from 3 classes, but they are pretty much the same. Your abilities not completely useless, but becuase everything you do is slow as hell there is barely any situation where they are useable.

I could go on more but then it would never end. Lets just say there is more problems with this game.

So. Trying to play this with a keyboard and mouse just isn't working. It's literally like I push A and space to go left and dodge and half the time nothing happens. I went so far as trying out a different keyboard. Just very odd gameplay that for me only seems to respond about half the time. Makes for a very not enjoyable game for me. Also. Using a potion with the 1(1) button seems to work about 75% of the time. Cycling thru potions works every time but using 1(1) to actually use the potion is hit or miss. Odd game for me. I think it's great that some have had a good experience with this game but for me it is not-playable. Meh. Life happens. It's just a game after all.

Enjoyable souls-like game. A lot easier than Dark Souls but still maintained a lot of the adventure type aspects. A few of the bosses were tricky but most I stumbled across and killed them the first time completely unprepared... I played this non-stop for a fair few hours, forgetting to have lunch and late into the night which, in my opinion, is always the sign of a fantastic game.

The game crashed 4 times while playing which was very annoying given how it is checkpoint based.. although it did run well from a performance/graphical point of view.

If you enjoy Souls-like games, this is a good choice, I've completed it and the DLC Ancient Labyrinth in ~26 hours. There is replayability (multiple classes/choices).

As with all older games - grab it on sale.

You know, Lords of the Fallen is actually not a bad game. For a Souls-like subgenre - and it's actually become quite a thing for the last 5 years - it's a very good approach, to make something at least not worse than Dark Souls 1, and maybe, for some points, even comparable to the Dark Souls 2.

Lords of the Fallen is looking very good visually, and especially aesthetically. The art designers there made some astounding work, without any understatement. The visual design of levels, characters, monsters, all those sets of armor and weaponry - looks really superb stuff. The sound work is also on a very good level.

The story... well, it's decent. Perhaps somewhat primitive, too crumpled in presentation - but still, for my subjective taste, it is presented much better than in Dark Souls, and the most bunch of other Souls-like titles of late.

Speaking of the actual gameplay, I'd say, it could have been a good one. Again, at least on par with Dark Souls - a bit different, but very solid and profound experience. But... something went wrong, and here I am, sitting in a big disappointment and writing a negative review for the game which I planned to review quite positively, in comparison with many other Souls-like games I've seen lately.

So, let me dissect Lords of the Fallen gameplay for you, by two major parts: fighting and exploring. The fighting part holds an interesting concept of the three fighting speed modes, due to the different sets of armor and weapon, and the player's stats. Of course, light armor set with daggers or short swords will be the fastest and less stamina-consuming than a heavy set with some polearm or hammer, but there are many in-between options, so many combinations and possibilities!

In theory. For example, you can be a sneaky backstabbing ninja in some serious medium armor with some double-handed weapon. But here's the first, very small on the major picture, fault of the game designers: backstabbing animation with the most of 2h-weapons looks very cringy. So, no polearm ninjas. Not because of the small DPS effectiveness, it's just too weird, trying to crawl behind some nasty demon-like creatures to perform some -X hp slit-throat action, which might not be a killing move! Sometimes due to the fact that your enemy has 10X HP, and will stand up after your attack, but, most of the time, due to the absolutely random hitbox models! I mean, forget about stealth now, just look at any random letsplay for this game! The players are missing so many hits while they are so close to the enemy!
So, the first major itch in gameplay goes for this total randomness of hits registration. It does not totally ruin the gameplay but makes it much less enjoyable.

Now, there are some other balance issues, that make a basic Fighter with medium armor a superior option, especially for the first run through the game, but again, it's not really a bad thing. What does, is about bosses, who are not really comparable to the creatures from Dark Souls, being too linear and primitive. Except for the boss from Labyrinth DLC, but then again, he's only Lord of the Fallen with some diversity in attacking pattern, while the whole bunch of other bosses is... too plain. Not too simple - because of the relatively slow fights, with many HP even on the easiest bosses - but not really challenging. Once you've figured the pattern, and rarely there are more than two for every Lord of this game... It's getting only to a matter of time until you dodge around enough times and make enough hits to drop it.

And now when I called that nasty thing by name... A matter of time is the worst issue of Lords of the Fallen. It's quite a short game - if you know where to go, and don't bother for side quests and collectibles, you can beat it in less than 5 hours. Probably even faster. But then you can look at my playtime. 100+ hours. Honestly, most of that time I wasn't actually playing, I was doing something else, and by doing that something else, I was fixing the frustration about exploring the latest locations, Catacombs, and Outer Realm. Those two maps are not overwhelmingly big. They are multi-leveled, with many doors, and staircases... and the worst thing? For one, most of the doors are closed when you first see them, and it's going really random about when and how you'll manage to open them. Plus, the interiors for those locations are quite easily messing with the memory, with so many similar-looking elements all over. And of course, there is no map. Even as useless as in the Control game I've played lately.

Plus, the achievements, to play this game through three times, and perform some really not obvious things, in a certain order. For example, you can go to the DLC extra dimension only on your second time in Outer Realm (whatever it is called in the game lore), and only until you've made some progress during that second time. The same goes for many secondary quests... Well, in short, it's just quite an unpleasant game if you play it without some guides.

I've said some good words about artists in the development team previously. But for the people related to the level design, I have some other kind of words. The one Steam goes that ******** about. Just to note there: I have a decent visual memory. Can recall many things quite fast. But, speaking about Catacombs and Outer Realm levels, I was running in needless circles there even the third time I was going through the game, in a short time. And it was exactly the Catacombs level when I dropped this game the first time I played it, several years ago.

So, quite often I hear that people call Lords of the Fallen an underrated game, a hidden gem even. And I can agree, that in some points, this game is actually one of the best from all Souls-like of late. Especially not-AAA-budgeted ones. However, at the same time, this game is hugely overestimating itself, on the graph of 'time asked/fun provided'.

Therefore, if you evaluate games by some quick moments, for about the first two-three hours it is ok. However, if you're trying to complete the games and get all the badges from it... Oh, forget the badges, just make through once - you'll eventually face that disgusting, intentionally disorienting level design with so many closed doors, chests, and other distractions... And since it is typical Souls-like, you're bound to fight through the same enemies every time you change the room... Well, my final mark is 6/10, but I'm not happy about that game time. Most of it was unpleasant.

So, in my honest opinion the game looks better than it is. The visuals are pretty decent and the story is interesting. Voice acting's decent as well. My issues with the game: The combat is clunky, enemies hit despite them not making contact with the character, dodging does little to stop enemies from dealing damage, blocking still allows damage to be taken and your guard is broken way too easily, it's a chore to redo every area each time you die (including killing enemies), there were also audio/visual bugs throughout my playtime. The game was fun for the first hour, then it got worse and worse. Goes to show that I just shouldn't play Souls-like games :P. If you like Souls-like games and having to redo the same area over and over again, this is your game and I do recommend it. I'm not one of those people and if you aren't, don't get this game. Or, if you aren't sure, it's 5 bucks right now for the sale, pick it up, you can always refund it if it's not your style.

If you're prone to experiencing motion sickness, stay far away from this game.

This game doesn't just have a low FoV, it also adds some intense camera motions to the mix which, for me, cause quite painful headaches and nausea. It's a shame because I liked the game itself - but I literally cannot play it without being in pain and feeling sick.

The devs never addressed this despite numerous complaints about the camera.

I didn't really like this game, it didn't cost much so it was cool but just not that fun. Kinda made me feel like I was just wasting time trying to mimic a repetitive loop system that they call combat. You might find this fun if you are ok with that.

Lords of the Fallen seems to get a lot of undeserved hate. As a brand new player, coming in with no idea what the game would be like, and having never played The Surge or other Deck 13 games...I just cannot comprehend what issue people have with this game. I mean, it's fine. It's a good game. The setting and story are a bit generic, sure. The combat is pretty slow-paced and weighty, which is a valid enough criticism (depending on who you ask). It's certainly not the most visually distinct of all of the Souls-like titles that have come out in the last seven years.

But under all of this is a functional, enjoyable, and well-made game, and all of the faults can be forgiven for the fact that this game is the first Souls-clone to ever release (apparently). I mean, I enjoy it, and I'm not a big fan of the genre. That says something.

If you come into this expecting fast-paced combat similar to Bloodborne, then you'll be disappointed. The game is rather clunky when it comes to combat, although this seems to be by design, as the combat is centered around more weighty combat. However, if you just want something to spend a weekend or two playing through, and you don't really mind slower-paced gameplay, this game might be something to consider. Buy on sale though. It's probably best that way.

THIS IS NOT DARK SOULS.

I think too many people go into it with that impression. Yes, if you compare it to Dark Souls it will feel slow and clunky, because it is NOT Dark Souls. However, it is very Souls-like and very fun. So far it has been incredibly easy too, so I don't know what people are complaining about. Use your wits more than your brawn and you will have fun.

Imagine Dark souls except you make everything slower, clunkier, heavier and overall duller, sure it helps to add weight to some things but when your buck ass naked dodge roll is slower than DS fat roll, or your light attack with a dagger is comparable in speed to a DS strike with a great sword....you know something, somewhere has been messed up.

combine that with enviroments, which while graphically are nicely rendered are also dull, samey and overall less than intresting to behold, much like the enemy design was appear as generic dull overly spikey monster demon thing #72

and the controls, they are...simply put, fucking stupid.
toggle your quick slot item, tap the button
use your quick slot item [this includes healing potions], hold the button for 3 seconds
what's that? you only held the button for 2.99 seconds while badly wounded and fighting a boss? surely you want to swap to the other slotted item.
Repeat the above issue for the spell system, spinkle in the fact that you have three stances to swap between, two of which are useless unless you want to use the slow, weak and rather pointless gun thing and
you've got a recpie for what could only be summerised as a heartless flavourless dark souls wannabe

In food terms
Dark souls is a fine Meal
Hellpoint is a feast made of clay and plastic
lords of the fallen is a grey mushy gruel filled with random rocks and feathers.

The game looks really nice visually, has beautiful armour designs and there are some cool moments towards the end of the story. The game-play is quite slow however due to the slow paced combat, and although it runs perfectly for the most part I struggled a lot while using the controller with the game randomly locking off enemies mid fight that I locked onto.

Lords Of The Fallen is a competent Souls-like for the most part. Great world, plenty of side quests to do and things to murder, and the story is actually decent for a game like this (and you don't have to read cryptic item descriptions to figure it out).

Synopsis

Nowadays, you can get the GOTY Edition for 30€ on Steam. If you enjoy Souls-like games, give this a try. It's not mind-blowing by any stretch of the imagination, but it's a solid game overall, even with some of the problems it has.

Gameplay

+ Positive
/ Neutral
- Negative

/ A lot of people will say the combat in this game is clunky. While I don't completely disagree with that statement, it's also not as bad as people say it is. One thing you will find really soon is that the combat is extremely heavy. Everything will feel slow at first, attacks take a while to wind-up (unless you are using daggers or other fast weapon types). Because of this, most enemies are not that quick with attacks, and everything is clearly telegraphed. There are some enemies that have some fast attacks, and if you are using heavy weapons, you might have a hard time with them, especially late game, but they are not that common. Hits feel meaty and chunky. They actually look like hits that would be able to split you in half.

+ There is a bit of character customization. When starting the game, the player gets to choose between 3 magic types and 3 sets of gear. Depending on what you choose, you will get 1 of 9 classes. Just like Dark Souls, your starting class only affects your starting stats and equipment. After that, you are free to build your character however you want. In the magic schools you can get Brawling (Warrior), Deception (Rogue) and Solace (Paladin/Knight). All of them have 4 different skills. In the equipment sets, you can choose Heavy Armor, Medium Armor and Light Armor. Harkyn, the playable character, is not customizable in appearance. If you don't know what to pick, I suggest you pick Solace and any set of gear you want. Solace has the most overpowered skill in the game (in my opinion) called Shelter. It regens your HP while active and decreases incoming damage, making it synergize really well with the XP mechanic. There is also Equip Load. With heavy gear comes higher poise, but slower rolls.

+ Everytime you kill an enemy in the game, you get a multiplier to your XP gain. The more enemies you kill, the more XP you will get. This makes farming a lot easier (not that you will need it) if you need to get stronger. If at any moment you use a save point, your XP multiplier resets. When you die, you leave you XP on the ground, but unlike Dark Souls, it's timed now. There is a % counter, and that counter shows the percentage of XP that you will get back. (For example, if you died with 10K XP, and you recover it with 90% left, you will only get 9K XP back). All these mechanics make for a risk vs. reward system. The more enemies you kill, the higher the reward, but also the risk.

+ A rune system exists. Eventually, you will come across equipment that will have empty slots. You can use a Sealed Rune to craft an Unsealed Rune (The rune you craft is always random) and slot it into your equipment, giving it additional stats. You have both small and big runes, the bigger ones providing more stats. These runs (the sealed ones) can also be used to open certain doors and chests.

- The game is a bit buggy. Sometimes enemies disappear in front of you, and pop back in a second later. I even had a boss get stuck inside a wall. Fortunately he was big enough, and I could still hit him.

Difficulty

This game has a set difficulty when you first start it. When you finish it, you can play NG+ and after that NG++ (there is nothing higher than this). The difficulty increases the more cycles you go through. The normal game is pretty easy if you take the time to explore and get gear. If you just rush the story, you might have a bit of trouble. NG+ and NG++ are a bit different. When you get to them, normal enemies will not pose much of a threat, but bosses will hit like trucks and you will start to hit for really low amounts of damage, but they are mostly manageable. The final boss, on NG++ is really unfair. Even with really high defense, you will get 1/2-shot, and he has an attack where he summons enemies, and if you don't kill them fast enough, he will use them to heal himself. Your DPS by that point will be really low, and you might not even have enough time to kill the enemies. The boss will heal, and you pretty much get stuck on a loop. If you intend to play this, I wouldn't go above NG+, and if you decide to, good luck on the final boss.

Graphics

The game looks great. It has a lot more color when compared to Dark Souls, and the world looks incredible. The armor sets in this game look absolutely phenomenal. Whoever designed those, really good job.

Length and Replay Value

I recently played through this game again on GoG. I did all game cycles (NG, NG+ and NG++) in around 20 hours, but I knew where to go. A single blind playthrough, if you decide to explore, will probably take 20 hours alone. There is plenty of side quests to do. Some of them have different outcomes depending on what you do. If you intend to get everything, you will have to go to NG+ and above, since some equipment can only be obtained there. There is also special boss weapons. Everytime you defeat a boss, you get a piece of equipment. That piece can come in 2 different rarities. Every boss has a special challenge (but the game never tells you what it is until you find an NPC later on). If you complete this challenge, you will get an upgraded version of that equipment piece, with slightly better stats. Achievements also exist, and the GOTY already comes with all the DLC, giving you even more content.

Navigation and Level Design

The game really wants you to explore. There are hidden things everywhere. The world is fairly small when compared to Dark Souls, but just like it, it offers some amount of choice. The game doesn't hold your hand, and you can explore as you wish. Right at the start of the game, you can access a mid-game area, and you will get completely obliterated there, but you can do some suicide runs to get some good gear early. Some parts of the game are locked behind story progression, so you will always have to progress to a certain point to unlock the entire map.

Sound and Music

The sounds in the game are pretty good. The folly and everything not related to music or voice acting is really well made. The music is okay for the most part. It's not going to get any awards, but is not bad by any means. The voice acting is absolutely atrocious, it's bad in a funny way. Harkyn speaks like the VA was reading the script for the first time, missing every single delivery. Voice lines feel like they were made in a vacuum and later stitched together, making dialog robotic and emotionless.

Story

Harkyn is released from a prison in order to stop a mysterious demonic attack. He is in search of an ancient god called Adyr. Along the way you will fight the Rhogar Lords, powerful demons of the Rhogar army.

Problems

- Quite buggy, and on rare occasions can crash.

Closing Thoughts

Overall, it's a competent Souls-like. The world is well built, the game looks good, plays well and is a fun. The heavy combat might not appeal to everybody, especially if you like more fast-paced games. For 30€ you get a great amount of content, and since you can only get the GOTY, you get all the DLC. This game goes on sale for as low as 3€ on Steam, so if 30€ does not appeal to you, you can get it almost for free.

lords of the fallen is terribe, like, the combat system is genuinely bad, playing this game feels like you are the level 1 goblin beign mowed by the player, is not that the game is hard or you are underleveled, weapons are all bad, and you play in slow mo, you cant parry, but enemies can parry you, you dont poise damage, but enemies do, is weird to see, how enemies in this game have all the tools YOU the player should have, while the system is incredebly shallow and you the player have basically no tools to work with other than leveling up

3 hours in and this seems like a relatively solid Souls-like with an aesthetic somewhere half-way between Warhammer Fantasy and Darksiders.

Excellent graphics, interesting enemy designs, and the maps are entertaining to explore with plenty of interconnected areas off the beaten path worth fighting thru for unique armor/weapons/etc.

From reading the negative reviews, it seems like a lot of the complaints are that the game is short -- which I could see being a complaint at full price. However, at $3 on sale right now, and for someone who doesn't want to get extremely time-invested in 99.9% of games, a short fun game at this level of quality is a steal.

This game feels like it really could have been something. The level design is good, the visuals are polished, and the gameplay feels sufficiently tight to be satisfying. It just feels incomplete. You can roll through the entire game in under six hours, and the plot feels pointless and empty.

Do yourself a favor and buy any of the Dark Souls games instead. Already beat those? Go play Hollow Knight.

First and foremost do not expect a finely polished gem akin to the pioneers of the genre. Set the game's shortcomings aside and it will reward you with a captivating atmosphere and in overall an enjoyable experience.

You will meet a lot of broad shouldered, muscular people (BRUTALITY ENSUES!) armed to the teeth and armored like a tank put in a dark toned, beautifully crafted setting with lots of options for weapons and equipment.

Since the dialogues and the story won't send shivers down your spine you have to settle down with combat, lots of it. There are some problems here and there with the animations. Plus the bosses act like trainees in a martial arts expo, meaning they perform their katas or rituals while you standing aside and thinking whether some equipment suddenly made you invisible. Meaning they are lacking intelligence sometimes. Well they might be harmless, but look nice overall. Compared to general monsters most of the bosses are like benevolent rabid dogs. So the average joes around the corner will bring you the tough moments that will spice up your life during exploration.

The story exists, but the shallow dialogues doesn't help the already bleeding plot elements, so don't expect ooh-ahh moments that will send shivers down your spine and result in irrevocable shirt tearing and blood pressure fluctuations.

Nonetheless the game's unique setting and visuals compensate for the above mentioned imperfections, so if you can stomach all the drama you will enjoy the ride.

After finishing:
if you like a good scifi setting and much better overall experience, go next for The Surge 2!

Some will say its a dark souls ripoff but it has its own identity imo. Gameplay wise its pretty decent with faster TTK times than Dark Souls and ofcourse this is a bit easier and focuses more on the story line! Graphics is great too however nothing ground breaking.

I played this game few years ago on my PS4 and liked it, after I bought it on steam and started to playing it the game crashes randomly and your game process is lost. I searched a bit and found out that this random crash existed after all these years and the devs didn't fixed it. Unfortunately I cant enjoy the game in peace so I don't recommend it. But if don't mind the random crash it's a fun game.

Seems the main complaint is the game is clunky. Yes it is. at first. Take off that heavy armor or upgrade your strength abilities and you'll be zipping around in no time.
The atmosphere too is some of the best in gaming today.
The audio design is awesome. The haunting halls of the castle that these demons inhabit is so eerie. The sound of your sword or axe hitting the demons is so satisfying, with both a mixture of metal and flesh sound effects. And that music is phenomenal.

Give it a chance, and you just may be sucked right in.

I hate the Dark Souls games cause I can't stand their aesthetic. I want to be able to build a giant, powerhouse, tank in badass armor. Can't do that in Souls. Armor means nothing in Souls, and you're better off looking like a gross peasant with stupid looking weapons/spells. Can't do it.This game lets you seriously play a walking fortress that can withstand all the punishment while dealing it. You can also go Rogue and dodge and parry/riposte everything if you learn the timing. You have so much viable build variety I've spent 140+ hours learning the game inside and out. I understand it's not a perfect game, but the combat is so satisfying to me that I wanted to kill everything while wearing all the different armors and using all the different weapons (except staves...cause sticks are lame.)If you're a Souls snob, you'll hate it. You'll think it's clunky. I feel it's weighty and visceral. And looks so much better than any Souls game.Hoping the sequel keeps the weight.

One of the forgoten gems in recent years. Gritty world, spitting metal armor sound, echoes of lost souls. Mostly you come here nor for the story but to test your skill. Like every souls like but in a some way easier than others. Really enjoyable combat. every armor part makes you feel every burden you carry on your back. Like how heavy and impactful your hits are and how you feel like you are moving around.
I would recommend it if you like souls type game but in a lighter-heavier tone.

It is an okay-ish Souls-like. While it is not to hard you might come across areas you need a few tries or come back later. Some features like a map or quick travel might have helped the game making some parts not that tedious.
The bosses were decent and varied. Except the last two. They were just annoying.
I guess it is good for people who want to enter the Souls-like genre. Pick it up on sale!

Enjoying this game is all about managing your expectations. Dark Souls it is not, but it's an enjoyable game in its own right. Some of the mechanics are not fleshed out, the combat is very heavy (although you get used to it). Overall, though, if you enjoy a good Souls-like fantasy romp I think you will enjoy this.

Lords of the Fallen = Clunky Souls

Pros

Dope aesthetic.
Beautiful landscapes.
Awesome enemy design.
Cool protagonist.

Cons

The worst, clunky controls I've ever experienced in a game, ever.
You ever have those dreams where you're fighting, and it's all slow and weak feeling? That's what every moment of combat feels like in this game.
Bullshit enemy mechanics.
Annoying NPC's with annoying dialogue (w/ incorrect subtitles).
Single player.
No replay value.

I don't hate the game, but I'm pretty sure you will. If you think you're buying a cool Dark Souls-like game, you're half right, half wrong. I can see myself beating this and uninstalling it because there would be no point in returning to it once experienced.

If you're going to compare this game to Dark Souls- You'll be disappointed. Otherwise, it's a great game.

Pros- Souls like, enemies aren't push overs, various ways to play, graphics are pretty good for the time period, enemies vary enough, boss fights are fun and creative enough, and the choices you can make have consequences (kinda)

Cons- hit boxes can feel a little weird, if you're used to DS controls you'll have to switch of the button layout on controller and get used to some things that cant be changed, figuring out where to go or what to do cant be a pain sometimes, and balancing is way off lol there's no reason to play as an agility character.

I had a blast playing this game, it's definitely worth it if it's on sale.

15 minutes in, and can't continue.

I find the effect of the camera shaking when in combat is far too intense. It is literally giving me a headache. I understand that this might have been a design choice to add a feeling of great weight to weapons and attacks, but its just doesn't work for me. Would have been grateful for an option to disable 'drunk-o-vision'. I call it that because it feels like I'm playing this game through the eyes of a recently divorced Irishman on St. Patrick's Day, looking for life's answers inside a bottle of cheap Whiskey... Shame because aesthetically it made a decent first impression.

The struggle you face initially in the game won't continue till the end. With overpowered weapons and getting used to the combat system, the game will be a walk in the park.

Game crash:
I was running the game on a complete AMD setup. It was crashing while facing enemies. This helped me to get around the issue.

PROS:

- Stunning graphics for the genre standards
- Well designed enemies
- Absolutely beautiful armors and weapons
- Some magic elements (spells, gauntlets attack...)
- Some Interesting bosses

CONS:

- Very too slow combat mechanic and gameplay
- Magic perks take eternity to launch
- No possibility to cancel an action! (For exemple if you attack with you sword, you have to wait the end of the animation of your attack to finally dodge or something)
- Useless shield bash
- The game is ridiculously balanced (I never seen this before...)
- Sometime bugged hit-boxes
- Sometime bugged damages taken
- Some enemies (the wizard one) can launch a magic projectile that FOLLOW you and sometime go through textures! (Made it impossible to escape from)

It's obviously a Soul's like without the quality of a Soul's game. Some enemy/bosses require you to have a perfect timing, wich is almost impossible to have with thoses gameplay mechanics. The game is relatively short, so its not a real pain if the *** to play. I still recommend this game even with all these problems, but you have to be patient (in the wrong way) to enjoy it. I wish you good luck

The game while fun has too many random crashes to the desktop after you hit a midway point in the game. Playing a game like this and killing a boss on the first attempt feels great, until a random crash occurs and you lose all your progress since the last save. Since there is no autosave it makes progressing a pain at times. I want to enjoy it and finish it but I am too frustrated.

I had this game on console a few years ago and decided to give it another shot on PC after picking it up very cheap. Whilst it looks staggeringly better and is much smoother on PC, Lords of the Fallen remains a very dismal game.

This was a very good looking title back in 2014 and it still looks impressive by today's standards. However, beyond the strong prologue section, the environments become samey which makes the experience painfully repetitive.

The biggest problem though is the core gameplay - the movement is extremely clunky and the combat feels so underwhelming. I don't think I've ever experienced such dissatisfying combat in a videogame before.

Even around the £3/$5 mark I'd struggle to recommend this game as it is just so uninspiring, mediocre and frustrating. The gulf between a game like this and Dark Souls is staggering. This is substandard in every respect.

However, in terms of the actual 'game', it's a bit iffy.

Haven't played it for long but hits don't have enough feedback (ragdolling, effects on the enemies) as you would expect (for such a graphically rich game),

level design is terrible (I only did the first area),

and I already got stuck on the first boss.. (didn't bother to play it after quite a few minutes trying it out, incredibly awkward to control for some reason, the timing doesn't feel right, etc..)

All in all I will definitely attempt to play it thoroughly at some point, but I can see how it would turn some people off.

I suggest watching a bit of a walkthrough and making sure you like atmospheric games that can be challenging at times.

I noted some people actually called this game 'too easy' but I think a lot has to do with timing, some people 'get' the timing of certain combat while others need time to adjust (based on being used to other games).

All in all incredible art it deserves a thumbs up just for that

I have mixed feelings, while rating this game.
This game resembles Fable much more, than Dark Souls. with only death system from the latter implemented.
This game feels extremely slugish at first, but once you get acustomed to Harkyn swinging speed of 92 year old grandpa, start pumping points in stats and magic, you realize that's how this game is meant to be played.
It's often heavily discounted, I got it at something like -80% and it's definitely worth that price. Once you start playing this game right, it becomes crystal clear how much it suffers, from bugs and crashes, as well as save system that doesn't seem to be always working. It happend few times to me, I went to a checkpoint saved my progress and quit the game, only to find out that my progress for last hour or so wasn't saved.
It's a little bit sad, because with a little bit of fixing this game could be so much more.
I'm willing to give this game: 6/10
Just get it on a discount and you shouldn't feel too bad.

It is what it is, clunky as hell - But still an enjoyable soulslike which holds its own. Looking forward to the sequel after the devs success with The Surge series!

The comparison to Dark Souls is obvious, and there's no denying that this game wanted to be called Souls-Like. The design is less obtuse, and the world layout is significantly smaller and more easily navigated, with a more managable 10-15 hours per playthrough as opposed to Dark Souls games typical 30-60. This game is also much less challenging that Souls-Likes tend to be, which some may find disappointing, but with this one I found a bit refreshing.

The atmosphere and aesthetics resemble a less cartoony Darksiders, with its ludicrously large weapons and adding extra spikes and blades everywhere just to make sure you know being an edgelord isn't just a phase. I could also see a comparison to Warhammer fantasy/Age of Sigmar, especially Chaos factions.

So whether you like Dark Souls and with it was more edgelord-y, or wish you could like Dark Souls but have always found either too confusing or to difficult, this might be a good fit.

Lords of the Fallen Review

A unique albeit similar experience in its own right…

Some key points that this game offers:

1. Difficulty
2. New Game +
3. Choices Matter
4. Three Playable Classes
5. Unique Levelling and Experience mechanics
6. Complex Melee combat system

Gameplay & Controls:

The game is played comfortably on either keyboard and mouse or controller; It comes down to personal preference. The keyboard and Mouse layout have remapping features to fully customize how the layout works for you. On PC there is only partial controller support but the game does not have a great many buttons that need pushing so it does work out in the players favour here.

What we have with Lords of the Fallen is a Dark Fantasy based RPG that takes after Dark Souls in several aspects, but in the end, this is a game in its own right and should be judged for what it is.

You take on the mantle of Harkyn, a sinner and outcast in this world; a world where no sin can ever be forgotten. The Rhogar, a Demonic Legion has made its return to earth in search of souls. This is where you come in, in this Action-packed hack and slash marvel. As you go about demolishing this Demonic horde you will build up a wealth of experience to customize and enhance your character. An arsenal of loot can be found to help you against these towering Horde’s from common pieces of gear to the oh so shiny Legendries….

You won’t just be facing off against mere foot soldiers, but Lords in all await you... Who will immerge victorious?

MGR Gaming: 8/10

Graphics:

Beautiful and captivating… You traverse various environments, above and below ground all the way to a different dimension… Each of these locations have been beautifully created to offer you a very eerie look and feel. A perfect combination that thoroughly enhances what a Dark Fantasy offers.

Character models were given a great deal of attention to ensure that they don’t just appear unique and different, but so that their actions and behaviours are unique as well. This is a feature that is properly implemented where the Rhogar is concerned, the Rhogar from the same species might not have a difference but different Species have a wide range of differences.

The game shadows work wonders here, casting eerie visuals where you don’t need them and hiding hidden enemies beautifully for quick strikes…

We have a full range of settings to fully customize how this game runs and can run on our system.

MGR Gaming: 8/10

Sounds:

Stunning, this game is meant to be played with volume levels that can clearly be heard… Whether this is earphones or speakers. The game has a gorgeous soundtrack to it, that ensures every nook and cranny you explore is filled with sounds to accompany your thoughts and fears for when the enemy will suddenly jump out and attack. It does this brilliantly adding a very unique sense of alertness to the game which is perfect for what the game is about, especially with our unique combat mechanics.

There is not a lot of vocals in the game. When it comes to the ones that we do have, a marvellous job has been done to capture the emotion of each situation perfectly to add to the scene and setting of the game events.

We do have full control of the volume and other sounds that can also be found under the settings tab.

MGR Gaming: 8/10

Replayability:

Lords of the Fallen has had chatter regarding possible Multiplayer but at this stage it is pure speculations and rumours.
Where Singleplayer is concerned, you finish the game and start a New Game + so that will keep you busy for a while longer.

MGR Gaming: 7/10

MGR Gaming’s Conclusions:
Spoilers ahead:

Lords of the Fallen can easily be seen as a poor attempt at a copy from the Souls franchise, however, if you invest a bit of time into the game you will find that it has its own great story that is very entertaining and quite rewarding as you progress through the game. The game offers different endings, so you can make use of your New Game + modes to enjoy every bit of what this game has to add.

The game was given a lot of effort and the developers created something very beautiful here, the game world is sizeable and the gameplay quite fun. The difficulty that the game offers should be difficult for new comers but if you mastered every related Souls game to date then you are more than prepared for this one.

The developers did let quite a lot of potential go to waste here; this world could have done with more side quests and even a bit more to do in each playthrough; as it stands it is a bit thin and a let-down to some extent.

I find it hard to talk about this game since I am a little late to the party.
While playing I probably had more fun then I care now to admit as after finishing it I was very much relieved to uninstall it and never touch it again. But that might be just the problem of achievements as they require you to finish the game several times without a real payout...
But let's get to the review:
Upsides:
It looks damn good. Locations are cool, enemy design although a little generic, makes the atmosphere all the better. Heavy hits in combat are satisfying. Also it seems to run pretty well even on a low-mid range computer. The music isn't bad, though it isn't really memorable, maybe besides the last level before the final boss.
This can keep you entertained for the first playthrough. But otherwise...
Downsides:
There is pretty much one way to play the game. You are either a heavy hitting tank that kills most things in one hit or you die. A lot. Rouges are unplayable and the magic gauntlet is a joke. Everything feels ultra sluggish, even with light equipment, while some enemies move extremely quickly and deal unproportional amount of damage. This makes everything definitely feel more unfair, while also unnecessarily extending gameplay. The weapon variety kinda sucks. If you wanna be the least bit optimal, you gotta choose some peculiar weapons and do some luck rune shenanigans. For me, nothing else worked well.

Do I recommend the game? Not really.
Should you not buy it? I don't really know.

If you like what you see and bear with the slow combat, the first playthrough is rather enjoyable, so if you hadn't played it you might wanna grab it on a sale or sth. It's not really worth the full price.

4.5/10. Mediocre. Wouldn't slug again.

Disclaimer: I played Dark Souls trilogy, Bloodborne and Nioh.
I like this kind of games mostly for the atmosphere, exploration, secrets and cautious combat. Taking these areas into consideration, Lords of the Fallen is a very fun game that is worth playing.
Dunno why the hatred towards this. It is my understanding that the two major complaints are the lack of build variety (I don't care about this since I only go through a game once) and the slowness of the fighting (honestly I usually go for quick weapons and in this game I had no problems using the heavy slow ones). Recommended.
