Support NeoGAF

[anyasok]

I am peeved it is going to be an Epic Store exclusive and hope they update the recent release to be less cryptic. I should not have to read an FAQ to have the privilege to use a boss weapon special.


While the 2014 release is underwhelming, the 2023 release puts to shame even FromSoft titles in many regards. In no world are Wuchang and Khazan on even footing with any worthwhile soulslike.

DIfferent strokes. I hated both 2014 and 2024 and loved lies of p, wuchang and khazan

Couldnt care less about LoTF2. Mortal Shell 2 looks sick though

By the way, lately they've been doing a video series about LotF, and in one of the latest episodes they talked about this new game and showed some artworks from it:

 

[Sooner]

Ah, just name it Lords of the Fallen. That can't possibly fail three times, right?

 

[TerribleAtThisGame]

Ah, just name it Lords of the Fallen. That can't possibly fail three times, right?

Lordz of the Fallen

That'll do.

You have to be insane to make EGS deals in 2025 lol

RIP PC version

 

[Bernardougf]

Great! Its a classic Souls Like .. loved the first game.. and if From continues with the Elden Ring dogshit path Im more than happy to divert my attention to this game...

 

[cormack12]

Should have waited.

Lords of the Fall was right there.....

RIP PC version

In this specific case, rather than an exclusivity deal for EGS, it seems like the situation is similar to that of Alan Wake II - without Epic the game would not have been made. Better that than no game at all, I reckon.

 

[El Muerto]

I honestly liked it more than any of the Fromsoft games (except for Sekiro). Controls were better, graphics are better, and there's actual storytelling with cutscenes.

 

[WoeIsMe]

Did not particularly like Lords of the Fallen that much when I played it, gave it a 2/5 or 2.5/5. Hope the sequel improves a lot. It sure has to for me to play it atleast.

 

[MiguelItUp]

Ah, so something else I don't care for, lmao. I would've been happier with anything else.

I was initially curious about the first game, until I heard/saw it wasn't that great. Then their CEO being so vocal on social media about stuff didn't make me want to check it out either. Even after all their "changes and improvements". Just didn't feel worth the time regardless.

I really don't think EGS is the right move, but hey, it's not my studio/project, lol.

 

[FeralEcho]

Really missed a golden opportunity to just call it Lords of the Fallen.

They still could. Just add the 2 in Roman numerals like a II ,Resident Evil style.

It practicaly begs for it with that double L in Fallen

 

[ChoosableOne]

The 2023 game was awesome. Atmosphere, graphics, level design, combat... It was like Dark Souls 4 for me. Releasing with a terrible 1.0 version made the game come across as a cheap Souls knockoff(which I initially thought as well), and even here there are still plenty of people who approach it with prejudice. People who played it after the updates(>=1.7) probably loved it too. Lamp mechanic felt weird at first, but I liked it because it really enriched the gameplay(especially in combat). I'm pretty excited for this one too. They just need to throw in more enemy types and weapon movesets. Would be nice if they made the camera rotation faster by default — I bumped it up myself and it basically felt like a Souls game.

Funny how Geoff tried to keep it secret, and then the director just came out and spilled the beans. I guess he wanted to avoid a big letdown after those Bloodborne 2 rumors. It was pretty interesting.

 

[tusharngf]

I purchased both games but they need to work on animations and world design along with rewarding features. The enemy variety is lacking in both games.

 

[ByWatterson]

The updated Lords of the Fallen was a great soulslike. Momentum faltered toward the end, but really excellent art design, tone, and tech.

Day one for this one, likely.

 

[Gameplay Gods Bless]

First game was very very good with the 2.0 Update. The level design was onpar with Fromsoft. Day 1!

Only issue is they made the base game quite easy and bosses have always been easy which is ok if the level design is hard but they made that easy too

 

[moniker]

Ditch the mechanic that starts a timer when you enter the other world that starts spawning a buncha shit culminating in an unkillable enemy.

It's not unkillable. You can even stay in umbral with 3x multiplier after killing it it.

 

[Lux R7]

I'm happy that Lotf and Mortal Shell are getting sequels.

 

[R6Rider]

I'm happy that Lotf and Mortal Shell are getting sequels.

The Mortal Shell 2 trailer was fucking awesome and a surprise.

 

[FewRope]

Epic exclusive lol good luck with that

 

[Bartski]

they should really keep this one in the over tad longer to avoid the disaster that was LOTF 2023 at launch. The game is the benchark of post release support so I expect the sequel to be no different.

 

[CosmicComet]

I immensely enjoyed both 2014 and 2023 Lords of the fallen games.

Looking forward to this for sure.

 

[Sept Terrion Of Nothing]

This game will come to Steam eventually. Probably developers regretted the decision to be financed by Epic but they already made the agreement.

I'm saying this because the players surged the game on Steam after removing of body type shit from the game. And after each update players really played the game and supported the devs. That's why after seeing this much support, devs probably regretting the Epic exclusive agreement.

By the way for the people who don't know. 2023 LotF price reduced permanently on Steam in previous weeks. FYI.

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

That statement is absurd given many body types in the last release skew closer to anorexia than obesity.

Pure overweight in that game
