Lords of the Fallen, from Polish video game developer CI Games, is the company’s most ambitious and expensive project to date. The action role-playing game, set in a medieval-style world filled with fantastical creatures, is an ambitious mix of innovative technologies and top-notch production value.
The game is based on a unique storyline that sets it apart from other role-playing games. You play as Harkyn, a hero struggling against a powerful demon army and its leader, the Lord of a Fallen. On your quest you’ll use an array of weapons to defeat your foes and a variety of skills to solve puzzles and progress.
For a game of such hefty ambition, Lords of the Fallen boasts remarkable production values. Most notably, it includes a special, proprietary “Living World” engine that allows the game world to be populated by hundreds of characters and objects that all interact with each other. This is paired with detailed graphics that make the game world come alive, and an intricate soundscape of music and sound effects.
Moreover, the team behind Lords of the Fallen has strived to produce an emotionally engaging experience for players by introducing a sophisticated level of realism and muscle movement, as well as realistic facial expressions. Progress is aided by a selection of weapons and skills that can be used to control your environment.
Given that Lords of the Fallen is by far CI Games’ largest and brightest project yet, it’s not hard to understand why the game has attracted so much attention since its launch. It has received generally positive reviews from critics and fans alike, and the ambitious production values and engaging storyline make it a must-play for any fan of action role-playing games.
