Six months in the past, we welcomed you to the daunting darkish fantasy world of Mournstead, as we launched our debut sport, Lords of the Fallen, on Xbox Collection X|S. We needed to problem action-RPG followers with a recent tackle the style and – as one of many first video games to be developed in Unreal Engine 5 – ship a novel expertise.
This week, we’ve reached the most important milestone since launch: Model 1.5 – Grasp of Destiny. It’s the fruits of over 30 updates launched since launch, which has seen extra new content material and high quality of life updates – together with rigorous issue balancing – which have considerably improved efficiency, stability, and optimisation throughout the board. All of this has resulted in Grasp of Destiny being the easiest model of Lords of the Fallen up to now.
Importantly, Grasp of Destiny delivers the ultimate milestone of the sport’s in depth post-launch roadmap: A genuinely groundbreaking superior sport modifier system that allows you to warp and twist the gameplay in a number of elementary methods.
Accessible to marketing campaign completionists and whole newcomers alike, these modifiers embrace the flexibility to randomize loot so that you’ll by no means know what you’ll choose up subsequent; any and each weapon, piece of armor, or merchandise might be discovered any level all through the darkish and threatening journey via Mournstead. Equally, you might additionally select to allow the random enemy spawn modifier, and at any level face off in opposition to any of the 70-plus enemy sorts that scar the landscapes of each the realms of the residing and of the useless… who is aware of what shall be ready for you across the subsequent nook!
As if not realizing which unholy creature is able to pulverize you at a second’s discover isn’t sufficient to ship a shiver down your backbone, different modifiers embrace the flexibility to regulate the variety of enemies throughout group encounters, whereas one other – the Withered Therapeutic modifier – restricts the effectiveness of well being gadgets. Flip this on, and well being can solely be regained by dealing harm to enemies, encouraging you to take a extra aggressive type of play. And for the final word ‘git gud’ problem, we’ve added a moderately nefarious modifier… Ironman Mode. Get slain in Umbral – the realm of the useless – with this enabled, and also you’ll have to begin your journey to thwart the demon-god Adyr another time, albeit along with your loot and character degree intact (I did say you’ll need to git gud!)
After all, enabling one or any variety of modifier mixtures will dramatically change the way you expertise Lords of the Fallen. The thought of constructing your method up via Redcopse Village – the very first location within the sport after the tutorial space – and being confronted by a number of Skinstealers whenever you’re solely armed with degree one weaponry, is unquestionably sufficient to set off nightmares… Nonetheless, no mixture has a better impact on the sport than enabling the randomised enemies, randomised loot, and Ironman Mode modifiers…
Think about for a second, having the fortitude and braveness to start a journey via the twin realms, the place any weapon might be discovered at any time, and the place essentially the most hellish end-game creature might lurk within the darkness. Think about realizing {that a} momentary lapse of focus or judgement, would plunge you again to the very starting of the Darkish Crusader’s story. To place it bluntly, activate these particular modifiers, and also you gained’t be experiencing Lords of the Fallen as an action-RPG; as a substitute, you’ll be going through the brutal cliff-face of the sport as an motion roguelike – an incalculably formidable prospect!
