Lords of The Fallen, PS5/Xbox/PC

[Blackfyre]

Never heard of this game/franchise

I don't mind it being a blatant Elden Ring copycat since i loved ER... but that you guys are saying the 2014 game was somewhere between trash and mid, well that gives pause. Releasing in a very crowded fall this October as well.

Yeah, the first LotF was one of the first games to ape Soulsbourne games but ended up being mediocre best. This new one however looks to be on another level, it’s being rebooted by different developers but same publishers.

Hmmm of course the graphics look good but something about the player and enemy movement looks stiff like when they turn to another direction, and the audio needs some work. I’ll keep watching this game i really want it to be good

Which souls clone has been really good?

Like none of them. As a souls fan it did it well enough to deserve my attention

Nioh. Tho we already know what you're going to say about that.

It also is one of the best clones to deviate considerably from souls games while still sharing some of its more core principles and actually succeed as a series. It actually immensely improves upon souls style of combat. Unfortunately, its level and enemy designs (aesthetically) definitely aren't on par with souls games. Nor is its loot system.

Nioh 2 holds the throne on how you ingratiate yourself into the genre without being a total ripoff like this game. Don’t get it twisted I still want this to good but I can’t ignore the total blatant ripoff of Dark/Demon Souls

Nioh was good, not great.

Same for Wo Long.

Level design in those games is not that good and tho they have lots of weapons none of them feel very unique or instill a specific play style or “build” it’s just kinda heavy medium or light no matter which weapon you use.

And i think that’s the problem with most souls clones. They can get the combat to feel good, but they miss on level design world building, and the idea of an “RPG” I.E. playing a “roll” or playing the game how you want to.

You don’t know how to play Nioh if you say there’s no builds or the weapons feel the same

We are comparing this to dark souls. There’s nowhere near the depth of choice in nioh compared to souls games.

In nioh you chose a katana build or a spear build, hammer, etc.

In Dark souls there’s like a dozen different katana builds to play around with alone.

Yeah, pretty much. The weapons and differences in playstyles with them is the main thing that it bests souls games with. It's like a combination of Ninja Gaiden games with Soul games and then something else altogether with stance systems and ki management. I need to finish those games already. My track record is totally terrible at any souls game completions tho, the actual ones or any of its clones that I've played.

So nioh has the play style variety of a souls game?



I swear some of you just like to argue with me on here.

Just check out youtube. There’s like an entire community of people playing around with builds in the souls games and still figuring stuff out to this day.

Nioh was closer to something like bloodborne or sekiro. There are builds, but the game itself is focused on a more fast/action based play style than having the variety of a souls game.
