#Godfall review series
It places you in the shoes of a gloriously over-the-top hero, known in game as an Archon, called Orin who’s been kicked off the realm’s ivory tower, literally, and is on a quest to reclaim his former glory.Īfter a brief cutscene setting up the premise you’re sent on your merry way to slash, bash, tear and slice your way through a horde of enemies with the vague hope of getting some better gear in a series of missions that link together a fairly barebones storyline. At its heart, Godfall is an action RPG in the same vein as Marvel’s Avengers. But, make no mistake, while Godfall is a perfectly serviceable game, and more than pretty enough to justify being a PS5 launch title, it lacks the wow factor needed to label it as anything other than passable. Intrigued? It’s certainly an interesting concept – who wouldn’t want an RPG which trades the shooting mechanics of Destiny or Borderlands for Souls-like combat? On paper, Godfall has plenty of potential.Īnd for the diehard fans of the genre who belligerently powered their way through the likes of Too Human, Lords of the Fallen and Kingdoms of Amalur, there is enough on show in Godfall to keep you entertained. Acting as a major launch title for the PS5, it aims to offer players an experience filled with action, loot and satisfying RPG mechanics.īut, unlike its clear inspiration, there’s a crucial difference: Godfall trades the genre’s standard sci-fi setting and arsenal of blasters for one of high fantasy and oversized swords.
But, if you are able to master these weapons and complete the required challenges, you will unlock their ascended forms, which are far more powerful than any other legendary gear so far released.Godfall is a new loot-driven RPG from Counterplay Games. These are powerful weapons that, while strong, carry with them debilitating effects meant to hinder your ability. Successfully conquer these waves, and you will have the opportunity to either end your campaign and collect the loot you’ve earned, or venture off to seal more Dark Tears, effectively raising your Light levels and earning even more powerful treasures! Depending on your Light level at the end of your encounter, you may have the chance to earn Cursed Loot. You must fend them off before they are successful and, once you have delivered it to your base, you will then face waves of increasingly deadly foes until a final boss appears. Enemies will spawn in the darkness and attempt to drain the light from your charge. Once the Dark Tear is sealed, you will then have to guide a Sanctum of Light back to your main base. These curses come in three different levels and, as you select them, it also increases the strength and ferocity of the enemies you face. Different curses grant different ailments, such as decreasing your overall health or lowering your defense against ailments. Seal the Dark Tears by defeating waves of increasingly powerful enemies and, as you do so, you will be rewarded with powerful Curses that place debilitating effects on your character.
You can fight off this corruption by activating beacons of light along the way to your objective. While bathed in this blackness, you will slowly become corrupted by its evil and, if your corruption counter reaches 100, you die. Here, you will be challenged with braving the corrupting darkness of your chosen realm. While combat and other gameplay mechanics mostly stay the same, the true gameplay changes in Godfall: Fire & Darkness come in the form of the new Lightbringer Mode.
