Will you be a caring hero who cuts off a monk’s arm to save his life from poison or will you be a heartless S.O.B. Regardless of his past, whether or not he’s actually a vicious jerk is left up to the player, as there are many choices players will have to make throughout the game that shape Harkyn’s personality. Why Harkyn was imprisoned is never fully explained, but the game alludes to his crimes being fairly heinous. In LotF players assume the role of Harkyn, a brutish-looking man with face tattoos recently released from prison to battle the demonic Rhogar infesting the world.
Deck 13 Interactive and CI Games put a lot of work into creating a unique experience, so from here on out this article will refrain from comparing Lords of the Fallen to Dark Souls as much as possible. Well, “akin” might not be the best description but it’s hard to call it a “direct clone” without selling short the game’s separate identity, which it definitely has.
LotF is a tough, third-person RPG akin to Dark Souls. This game has received a lot of positive reviews and is good enough to barely drop in price since the day of its release nearly a 1½ years ago (I know because I checked every week for the last six months) but now it’s free! Its current availability on Games with Gold is the reason for this article, so this isn’t so much a review (hence the absence of a score) as it is a friendly reminder to get online soon and download this bad boy. From March 16 th to April 15 th, Lords of the Fallen is free for Gold members on Xbox One.
