Lords of the Fallen
A vast world awaits in the medieval, dark fantasy action-RPG, Lords of the Fallen. As a fabled Dark Crusader, embark on an epic quest to overthrow Adyr, the demon God. The final major update Version 2.5 is out now: features deadlier boss battles and all-new Veteran Mode.
In short, Steam reviewers most often praise “weighty combat and Umbral mechanics” (59 of 110 reviews) and “striking dark-fantasy visuals and environments” (23); the most common complaint is “repetitive enemies and flawed design” (33). What reviewers agree on ↓

“This game is an excellent souls like, do not listen to any reviews claiming otherwise unless they are recent. IMHO this game is best experienced in solo play, in veteran mode. Game has fantastic multiplayer co-op, that…”
“You're probably reading this as a Dark souls/Elden Ring's enjoyer so I'll directly compare them to this game. Keep in mind I almost only used casters "Radiance (faith), Pyromancy, Wither (dark)" Still early-game, it…”
“Just finished Lords of the Fallen and honestly, if you’re into Souls-like games, this is 100% worth playing. As someone still pretty new to the Souls genre, some parts were rough and definitely tested my patience, but I…”

“Great visuals. Good game. Ok story. Couple of pain points. Using range weapons / magic can take a long time to get used to, (at least on controller), because during combat you need to switch between your lamp and your…”
“I am actually baffled on how I skipped this game when it was released and was misled due to the Mixed reviews. This is a GREAT souls-like game (almost the same level as FromSoftware games). I am only on 9 hour mark and…”

“Amazing game I'm a souls fan and I didn't play this game at launch, so I'm impartial since I'm not influenced by the bad experience that, seemingly, the unpolished game was. Now it's just a very good game, so get it if…”
“Great Game if you like Soulslike games give it a try. Its not a cheap Dark Souls copy and thanks to patch 2.5 the combet feels good and meaningful. Cant wait for the next titel from the Devs and hope they learned they…”

“The first Dark Souls game was huge for me, absolutely loved it. I loved Dark Souls 2 and 3 as well. This feels like a really good homage to those games, with so many similar mechanics but with a ton of Quality of life…”
“A great souls like game with a few extra mechanics, like the umbral system which is a 'dead' parallel world that opens up a lot of gameplay features you either die to get in to or view via spectral lantern. When you die…”

“Every complaint I see of this game are aspects the complainent would forgive in a Dark Souls game, This is one of the most featured Soulslike games ever made, it takes more from Bloodborne than Elden Ring ever did. I absolutely recommend this briliant game.”
— a player, Steam review · 84 hrs played“Lords of the Fallen is a decent game. It’s not among the best in the genre, but it does a few things very well while falling short in others. If you’re a big fan of FromSoftware Souls games and you’ve already played them multiple times, this is definitely one of the better…”
