Six months ago, we welcomed you to the dark and intimidating fantasy world of Mournstead with the launch of our first game, Lords of the Fallen, on Xbox Series X|S. We wanted to appeal to action-RPG fans by offering them a new approach to the genre and, as one of the first games to be developed with Unreal Engine 5, offer them a unique experience.
This week we reached Biggest Milestone Since Launch: Version 1.5 – Master of Fate. It's the culmination of more than 30 updates released since launch, which have added new content and quality of life updates – including rigorous difficulty balancing – that have improved significantly improve the performance, stability and optimization of the entire game. All this makes Master of Fate the best version of Lords of the Fallen to date.
It is important to note that Master of Fate is the final step in the game's post-launch roadmap : A truly revolutionary advanced game modification system that allows you to modify and alter gameplay in several fundamental ways.
Available to those who have completed the campaign as well as to newcomers, These modifiers include the ability to randomize loot, so you'll never know what you'll pick up next ; Any weapon, piece of armor or item can be found at any point on the dark and perilous journey across Mournstead. Likewise, you can choose to enable the random enemy spawn modifier and at any time face one of the more than 70 enemy types that mark the landscape of the realms of the living and the dead… who knows what you wait around the next corner!
As if not knowing which unholy creature is ready to pulverize you at any moment wasn't enough to make you shiver, other modifiers allow you to adjust the number of enemies in group encounters, while a other – the Withered Healing modifier – limits the effectiveness of health items. If you activate it, you will only be able to recover health by dealing damage to enemies, which will encourage you to adopt a more aggressive playstyle. And for the ultimate challenge, we've added a rather infamous modifier… Ironman mode. If you get killed in the Umbral – the realm of the dead – and this mode is activated, you will have to restart your journey to counter the demon god Adyr, but with your loot and character level intact (I have said you had to give it your all!).
Of course, activating one or more combinations of modifiers will radically change the way you experience Lords of the Fallen. The idea of going through Redcopse Village – the very first location in the game after the tutorial area – and being confronted by several skin thieves while only armed with level 1 weaponry is enough. bring nightmares… However, no combination has more of an effect on the game than activating the Random Enemies, Random Loot, and Ironman Mode modifiers…
Imagine for a moment that you have the fortitude and courage to begin a journey through the two realms, where any weapon can be found at any time, and where the most infernal creatures can hide in the darkness. Imagine knowing that a lapse in concentration or judgment will take you back to the very beginning of the Dark Crusader story. Clear, if you enable these specific modifiers, you will not experience Lords of the Fallen as an action-RPG game, but rather as an action roguelike – an incalculably formidable prospect!
So…do you dare to become a Master of Fate?
Yes, thanks to Master of Fate, Lords of the Fallen now becomes a roguelike, totally changing the gaming experience for fans who have already flipped the title in every direction. If adventure tempts you, Lords of the Fallen is available from €29.29 on Amazon, Cdiscount, Fnac And Gamesplanet.
