That's assuming the base level of aggravation doesn't kill the game for them first. Players new to the formula, however, will find themselves getting rather easily acquainted with the game's brand of mayhem, though mastery will be hours away. Harkyn is a slower character, whose bulk is palpable even when stripped to the bare minimum of equipment, but the fundamentals are the same. For Souls veterans, the slaying is going to feel so utterly familiar as to essentially make Lords of the Fallen a pick-up-and-play title.
The story, however, is naught but a wafer-thin excuse to give Harkyn a legion of wicked demon fodder to slaughter. There's even one or two likeable, memorable characters – particular tip of the hat to the nameless, haunting, stiff-upper-lip rune crafter – though nothing that happens here is unexpected for anyone who's watched even half a season of Game of Thrones at this point. Almost every cliché in the grim-n-gritty fantasy playbook gets thrown in here, though Lords of the Fallen does respectable work letting the story play out with far more humanity than expected or, arguably, needed. Lords of the Fallen is the story of Harkyn, a criminal sentenced to spend the remainder of his natural life in prison if not for a priest named Kaslo, who busts Harkyn out of jail to help stem the tide of an invading demon army.
LORDS OF THE FALLEN 2 XBOX 360 SOFTWARE
There is no shame whatsoever in Lords of the Fallen being what many will immediately identify as a brazen riff on the special niche From Software has built for themselves with the Dark Souls series, especially when it's in the interest of a much more accessible game.
For everyone else, there's Lords of the Fallen. There is a brand of player that sees impossible odds, sees fiery, poisonous, roaring death from all directions, and greets it all with an insane grin – and then turns up the difficulty.
