This risk reward system is also in gaining loot. Holding off from leveling up could help you progress faster in the long run but enemies become stronger with or without you so beware. Of course killing enemies gives you XP, you can spend the xp on spell or attribute points, or you can save your XP which allows you to build up an XP multiplier. There is also a pretty good risk reward system in the game. This can be somewhat frustrating at times, but it never becomes too frustrating to play. The later bosses will require more thinking and adjusting to their mechanics for victory. WhatвЂ™s great though is that the game adds hidden challenges which if completed will add a special perk or ability to your weapon making it even more powerful. Each boss will drop a unique weapon or shield upon defeating it. The bosses in this game are pretty distinct and at least a little different mechanically. The game always finds a way to push you to your limit in a good way. You may have to wait for them to lower their shield, or destroy an object that revives them. Some enemies require you to just hit them until theyвЂ™re dead, but others like the Bulwark will have you using a specific tactic to defeat them. There are also a good variety of enemy types, like low level infested, the tanky Marauder, The elusive demonic spider, The Vanguards, and a lot more.

This mixing and matching certainly makes it more accessible and I enjoyed playing around with the different combinations. For example, if you like the heavy armor and weapons of the warrior class but prefer the more defensive magic abilities of the cleric, you can combine the two in the Paladin class. You arenвЂ™t completely locked into these play styles though, magic trees and equipment can be mixed and matched into different classes to best fit your play style. The gameplay is mostly split into three separate classes, Warrior, Cleric, and Rogue. The only sluggish thing I found was trying to roll while wearing heavy armor, which is obviously supposed to happen. I never found them to be unresponsive, or sluggish. They were pretty easy to get the hang of, the small opening tutorial explains everything you need to know, so thereвЂ™s no confusion. The controls will feel very familiar to Dark Souls players. I did notice there is a glitch on the Xbox One port of the game that makes it so you canвЂ™t hear any dialogue however, but I really only experienced this once in all my playthroughs. I didnвЂ™t encounter too much lag in my three playthroughs. The visuals go a long way into adding to the overall tone and feel of the game. Lords is a nice looking game, especially for 2014. However there are plot points I wish the game would devote more time to, like what exactly HarkynвЂ™s crimes were. ItвЂ™s easy to get lost in the world that the game has created, what the game lacks in actual plot, it more than makes up for in tone and atmosphere, which is fine for this kind of game. The plot may be a little vague, and characters one note, but it creates a great level of atmosphere and ambiance. HeвЂ™s been released by a wizard named Kaslo whoвЂ™s recruited him to battle the Rhogar, monsters from a parallel dimension. The plot revolves around a former criminal named Harkyn. This game is really good and deserves to be known as something other than that one dark souls clone. It really does the game a disservice to be just that one Dark Souls imitation.

IвЂ™m going to avoid these comparisons because I feel they downplay what this game does right. However it seemed to have mostly positive reviews regardless of the overwhelming Dark Souls comparisons. IGN even called it вЂњLite SoulsвЂќ in their review. The game was met with some positive reviews, but was passed off by a lot of people as a Dark Souls clone. Lords Of The Fallen is an action RPG, developed by Deck13 interactive and CI games.
