Six months in the past, we welcomed you to the daunting darkish fantasy world of Mournstead, as we launched our debut recreation, Lords of the Fallen, on Xbox Sequence X|S. We wished to problem action-RPG followers with a contemporary 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 problem 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 thus far.
Importantly, Grasp of Destiny delivers the ultimate milestone of the sport’s intensive post-launch roadmap: A genuinely groundbreaking superior recreation modifier system that lets you warp and twist the gameplay in a number of elementary methods.
Obtainable to marketing campaign completionists and whole newcomers alike, these modifiers embody the power 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 could be discovered any level all through the darkish and threatening journey by means of 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 lifeless… who is aware of what shall 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 embody the power 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 type of play. And for the last word ‘git gud’ problem, we’ve added a fairly nefarious modifier… Ironman Mode. Get slain in Umbral – the realm of the lifeless – with this enabled, and also you’ll have to start out your journey to thwart the demon-god Adyr another time, albeit along with your loot and character stage intact (I did say you’ll should 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 creating your means up by means of Redcopse Village – the very first location within the recreation after the tutorial space – and being confronted by a number of Skinstealers whenever you’re solely armed with stage one weaponry, is unquestionably sufficient to set off nightmares… Nevertheless, 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 by means of the twin realms, the place any weapon could possibly be discovered at any time, and the place probably 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 a substitute, you’ll be dealing with the brutal cliff-face of the sport as an motion roguelike – an incalculably formidable prospect!
So… do you dare change into a Grasp of Destiny?
