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 Sequence 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 singular expertise.
This week, we’ve reached the most important milestone since launch: Model 1.5 – Grasp of Destiny. It’s the end result 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 perfect model of Lords of the Fallen to this point.
Importantly, Grasp of Destiny delivers the ultimate milestone of the sport’s intensive post-launch roadmap: A genuinely groundbreaking superior sport modifier system that lets you warp and twist the gameplay in a number of elementary methods.
Accessible to marketing campaign completionists and complete newcomers alike, these modifiers embrace the flexibility to randomize loot so that you’ll by no means know what you’ll decide up subsequent; any and each weapon, piece of armor, or merchandise may be discovered any level all through the darkish and threatening journey by Mournstead. Equally, you may additionally select to allow the random enemy spawn modifier, and at any level face off in opposition to any of the 70-plus enemy varieties that scar the landscapes of each the realms of the dwelling and of the useless… who is aware of what will probably be ready for you across the subsequent nook!
As if not understanding 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 objects. Flip this on, and well being can solely be regained by dealing harm to enemies, encouraging you to take a extra aggressive fashion of play. And for the last word ‘git gud’ problem, we’ve added a somewhat nefarious modifier… Ironman Mode. Get slain in Umbral – the realm of the useless – with this enabled, and also you’ll have to start out your journey to thwart the demon-god Adyr yet again, albeit along with your loot and character degree intact (I did say you’ll should git gud!)
In fact, enabling one or any variety of modifier combos will dramatically change the way you expertise Lords of the Fallen. The thought of constructing your approach up by Redcopse Village – the very first location within the sport after the tutorial space – and being confronted by a number of Skinstealers once you’re solely armed with degree one weaponry, is definitely sufficient to set off nightmares… Nonetheless, no mixture has a larger 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 by the twin realms, the place any weapon may very well be discovered at any time, and the place essentially the most hellish end-game creature may lurk within the darkness. Think about understanding {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 an alternative, you’ll be dealing with the brutal cliff-face of the sport as an motion roguelike – an incalculably formidable prospect!
