Gamespot: 8/10

 

 

 

Superficially, you could call Lords of the Fallen a Souls game for the meek and the uninitiated. But it earns more respect than such a flippant description. Lords of the Fallen isn't about the game that it isn't, but the game that it is. It's about the ghoulish blacksmith, his glowing eyes, and the long tufts of stiff hair that rise from his scalp. It's about the crunches of iron against bone when your hammer finds its mark. It's about taking in new sights and sounds, and about finding new ways to travel to old ones. It's about that suspended bridge, the monuments that guard it, and the creatures waiting within. Harkyn may have no use for these places, but there are riches inside nonetheless.

 

THE GOOD
  • Combat feels hefty and satisfying
  • Atmospheric and interwoven world makes it fun to explore
  • Cool and creepy visits to another dimension
  • Grotesque creature designs reinforce the demonic setting
THE BAD
  • Bosses aren't as tough as they look
  • Vague level-gating leads to pointless meandering

You should play the game first and then comment...What if game is not balanced properly like Dark Souls ?..

 

Dark Souls is not balanced either. It purely depends on how you play. If you are smart enough, you can clear everything without any issue. If you are not, you'll end up spending 50+ hours on Asylum Demon itself.

Difficultly is not even a discussion for such type of games.

 

Edit:

 

 

 

Lords of the Fallen boasts a couple of battles that forced me to think out strategies for victory, but I managed to kill four other bosses on the first try by simply wailing on them with a big sword and my warrior's Quake spell while blocking and swigging a potion when needed. That's not to say it wasn't fun, but dying at the hands of a boss on the first try became a mere annoyance rather than the first step in a rewarding learning experience. Halfway through the campaign, I absolutely expected to win every fight as long as I played within my comfort zone, and that's a problem.

 

Heavy armor pushes this drive toward absolute power to absurd lengths. In time, my Harkyn seemed to laugh off heavy blows even without the extra help from spells. The challenges do grow consistently tougher and more satisfying once you complete a playthrough and venture into New Game Plus territory, but it's a shame you have to wait.

They forget to add the fact that unless you have a top of the line card the performance will drop down to single-frames.

^From Eurogamer's review:

 

 

 

Even small details, such as the game pausing while you tinker with your inventory, make a big difference. Forgot to equip the right gear for a boss fight? No problem. He'll wait while you get yourself ready.

 

Score: 7/10.

 

 

 

I kind of hate having to so continually compare one game to another, but Lords of the Fallen offers little alternative. As tribute acts go, it's a passable riff on a much better game, and with no more new downloadable content for Dark Souls 2 coming up and Bloodborne still a few months distant, it's hard to deny its appeal as a temporary replacement for the winter months. For all its rough edges, if an easier, less obtuse variation on From Software's combat RPG is all you crave, then it will certainly reward you with a lot of game for your money.

I just wish it wasn't so happy to sit in another game's shadow, and made more of the few fresh mechanisms that might distinguish it and move the genre forwards. Instead, it hews so closely to a proven template that it's basically a pretty good action-adventure by default. Yet as the game clock ticked towards 20 hours and beyond, I could never quite shake the feeling that I'd still rather be failing in Dark Souls than succeeding in Lords of the Fallen.

 

A message from Eurogamer's moderator:

 

 

 

A warning:
I played it for an hour or two, then made a second character because I missed a few tutorial message, and the "secret" wall which I could simply break with my first character now doesn't budge anymore. I accidentally managed to glitch-roll through it, now I am stuck inside. That's game-breaking, as far as I am concerned. And it was *with* the massive 5 GB patch.
(PS 4 version).
And yeah, framerate is awful, and while the patch removed some of the tearing, it's still there often enough. If you have the option, get the PC version...

Seems that the publisher is gunning for a Rs. 4599 price. I'd suggest you guys make alternate arrangements. I doubt the disty pursuing them (Origin Marketing) is going to bring it in day and date at that rate.l

PC version:

At home with a Core i5, 8GB RAM, and a GTX Titan, it ran at a steady 50-60 FPS at 1080p. There’s no vsync option in the menu, so I had to manually disable it in the Nvidia control panel to keep it from dumping me down to 30 FPS. I also lowered the graphics settings from ‘very high’ to ‘high,’ and that seemed to reduce (but not eliminate) my crashing problem.

Obviously, not many people have a GTX Titan, so I also tested it on the same machine with a GTX 560ti. I dipped below 20 FPS during fights even with the graphics set to ‘low.’ So, the minimum GeForce GTX 460 or better listed on Steam is probably nonsense. I recommend a 700 series or comparable AMD card.

As for the controls, I found the mouse unusable. iTnrsMH.gif At a certain velocity, the camera flicks around a good quarter-circle like I’m whipping around to see what’s behind me. It feels intentional, but it’s just disorienting. I tested the controls on multiple systems with different mice to ensure it was not a mouse acceleration issue on my end. An Xbox One controller gave me a much better experience, but there were still frustrations. It loved to switch the enemy I had targeted without my permission, sending a high-energy attack into empty space.


PC Gamer: 58/100

Lords of the Fallen is a decent action RPG. LordsOfTheFallen.exe, on the other hand, has stopped working. Lords of the Fallen has interesting, fun combat, and when that giant multi-stage boss only needs one more hit to kill, LordsOfTheFallen.exe has stopped working. LordsOfTheFallen.exe is a vile, cruel bastard, worse than any boss in Lords of the Fallen.
