The replace was shared on the sport’s official web site, with the group thanking followers for his or her ongoing assist. After a little bit of a preamble, together with an announcement that the sport’s soundtrack is now in the stores, the builders went into what’s inside Lies of P’s model 1.3.0.0 replace. There are some new options and content material, together with free cosmetics and a brand new costume class for additional look customization, however the actual meat-and-potatoes of the replace is what it does to fight and the early sport. Spoiler: Numerous great things for people who’re sick and uninterested in getting bodied by the whole lot.
Lies of P’s early goings get a bit simpler
Some enemies you encounter out within the area—that’s, the trash mobs you battle main as much as a boss combat—have adjusted assault pace and spawn places in order that they’re extra predictable and move higher with a stage’s format. Moreover, their stance break window, the stagger animation that opens a foe up for a deadly blow known as a Deadly Assault, lasts longer so you will get that essential harm in.
The replace has another fight steadiness changes baked in, as properly. This consists of tweaks like making some weapons hit more durable (although the devs haven’t specified which of them), lowering the delay between a charged and regular assault so you possibly can chain combos higher, and rising the assault pace of heavier weapons relying on the way you customise them, amongst different issues. All of those adjustments successfully make Lies of P a lot simpler, which is a welcome adjustment contemplating how punishingly tough this sport already is.
One factor value calling explicit consideration to is the Rising Dodge potential, a ability that permits you to roll after getting knocked to the bottom. Beforehand, you’d should unlock this very important maneuver, which was buried deep inside the sport’s ability tree. Dodging in Lies of P is reasonably imprecise and sluggish with out the transfer. Now, although, due to model 1.3.0.0, the Rising Dodge potential is yours off the rip, making the early sport a lot much less irritating. It will completely turn out to be useful whenever you come throughout the early shovel guard mini-boss, who will flatten you right into a crispy picket pancake if you happen to don’t both dodge or parry its assaults.
