Lords of the Fallen - News Roundup

[Couchpotato]

Lords of the Fallen was at Pax Prime this week, and as a result I have a bunch of news to share. First we have three previews.

Gamers Nexus

One the main ways Lords of the Fallen breaks away from action-RPG conventions is through its boss battles. This is done primarily by information conveyance, battle staging, and preparing the player for battle. For starters, any time there’s a boss battle, there are indicators in your surrounding environment (like a pile of corpses outside a door), conveying to the player that it may be time to re-equip and focus. It’s a small feature, but it makes a huge impact on the player’s experience.

Game Fanatics

As we wrapped up our demo, one thing we took away was the sheer complexity of medieval strategy games that’s found in Lords of the Fallen, from crafting to an interesting lore, to weapons and equipment, but Gop assured us that the complex nature of the game will not lead to grueling or punishing gameplay for the player.

Destructoid

Lords of the Fallen looked good at E3; it looks even better at PAX Prime. After another hands-off demo, the next-generation action role-playing game really seems to be coming along nicely. Admirably, it seeks to improve, or at least deviate, on the formula that a certain well-known and similar couple of titles nearly perfected.

And to end the news-bit GamerHub.tv has a new video interview with Tomasz Gop.

More information.

Let's see...
Ankh adventures... Funny, cute, sweet, homorous, not masterpieces though.
Jack Keane have first, again above average but not a amsterpiece, dunno for the sequel.
Venetica... yet another not a masterpiece but unbelievably fun.

Thus I expect from LotF to be fun, with humor, with interesting story but - above average game and not a masterpiece.
Means, I'm buying.

I'm not opposed to a combat first game, i'll keep an eye on it.

Only, warrior, mage and thief for classes, I know this is the standard nowadays but I miss the selection you got with old D&D games.
