It takes off a chunk of his health and we start again, this little game, this hugely addictive game.īattles against one opponent, especially if you’re looking to keep all the health you’ve got, are a long process that can take up to 10 minutes, with bosses taking far longer. I hold down R2, charging my humongous sword and just at the last gasp stab the enemy in the back. I dash, hold down circle to enact ‘Prayer’, a spell that creates a duplicate version of myself that the enemy then attacks. Harkyn swerves, dodging the huge axe that one of the Wardens is wielding, swinging it down towards me in a triumphant grunt of a roar. A Warrior who isn’t very good, however, at killing things. The Warrior is your heavy-hitter, the Rogue has higher agility and can quickly dodge attacks and the Cleric is really the closest you’ll get to a magic user. You can play as one of three classes: Warrior, Rogue or Cleric.
His minions, the Rhogar, have begun to invade the world once more, and you must stop them. Mostly it’s your own as you play, and die, as Harkyn, a convicted criminal seeking redemption: the only man who can stop the Fallen God who has awakened deep beneath the Earth - and whose arm, clawing from the ground, is still visible after having been sealed away.
Lords of the Fallen is an action-adventure hack ‘n’ slash game about death lots of it.
