Lords of the Fallen, Polish-Spanish Unreal Engine 5 Soulslike Launches

The Lords of the Fallen, a soulslike action RPG and a reboot of a 2014 game has debuted on the market. The project was developed by Hexworks, a studio owned by CI Games, with branches in Barcelona (headquarters) and Bucharest.

1. The game was developed for PC, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S and PlayStation 5.
2. You can buy the standard PC edition on Steam and Epic Games Store for $59.99. The game will be unlocked at 11 p.m. PST.
3. Console versions are now available on PlayStation Store and Microsoft Store for $69.99.
4. In addition to the standard edition, a so-called Deluxe Edition is also available, which, for $79.99, offers virtual bonuses: an additional starting class (Dark Crusader) along with unique armor and weapons, a 100-page artbook, a soundtrack and a 3D model viewer.
5. It is worth mentioning that on PC the game supports the DLSS 3 technology by Nvidia.

Expectations for the game were high - the 2014 original was the first successful Dark Souls clone, and the reboot is only the second soulslike game (after Remnant 2) to be powered by Unreal Engine 5. There are enough reviews available on the web that one may be tempted to answer the question of whether the game meets the hopes placed in it.

Lords of the Fallen has an average rating of 75% on OpenCritic. This is a good score and higher than the one achieved by the original from 2014, but this game is far from the title of the best soulslike of the year. Better reviews were collected by Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty (81%), Lies of P (82%) or the aforementioned Remnant II (also 82%).
