Lords of the Fallen

Lords of the Fallen (2014) was an ambitious attempt to replicate the challenging Soulslike formula pioneered by FromSoftware’s iconic Dark Souls series. Developed by Deck13 and CI Games, it followed the story of Harkyn, a convicted criminal given a shot at redemption by battling the resurgent forces of the defeated god Adyr. The game nailed the punishing combat that defined the genre, requiring precise timing for blocks, dodges, and attacks.
