As the hulking hero Harkin, players battle the Lords and Generals of a demonic army of varying shapes and sizes - though virtually every Rhogar we saw was some variation on a hulking, muscular mountain of a foe. Lords of the Fallen is set some 8,000 years after human beings fought and defeated a god and his army. It does promote using both weapon-based attacks and magic strategically, but these are two different games with very different play styles, based on a recent hands-off demo of the game.
Players must take care in both offense and defense when striking down demons, called Rhogar in Lords of the Fallen, and choose their moves wisely, or suffer the consequences.īut Lords of the Fallen is not as punishing of a game as Demon's Souls or Dark Souls.
The tactical melee combat of Lords of the Fallen, CI Games and Deck13 Interactive's medieval fantasy action role-playing game, may draw some justifiable comparisons to From Software's Souls series for its weighty, deliberate combat encounters.
