I will die on the hill that this game is one of the best souls likes of all time, the aesthetic alone keeps me coming back

I really enjoyed the Nioh-esque inclusion of ranged combat a lot, and the movesets for their longswords, greatswords, and even collossal swords

[@gregoryjames3287]

I will die on that hill beside you. This game is awesome. Beat it multiple times and kept it installed because I am going back in soon.

[@O-T-G_Games]

You're not alone. Its an amazing game.

[@serjofcinder8925]

Yes, just not as good as any of the from soft games, lies of P, or either Nioh

[@patrickmyers5080]

what did you think about lies of p?

[@Hurvo7382]

If you're a souls-like fan, you owe it to yourself to check this out. It had a few frustrations at launch but the multiple updates have made it top notch. Tons of variation and great gameplay

[@zaksursw4054]

What about bosses

[@wermhat9796]

​@@zaksursw4054just started, 1st actual boss was such a cool fight. The miniboss in the area after was pretty cool too

I think they should add a way to upgrade the lamp that allows you to plant more seeds. And when you plant it, if you exceed the number you can choose which to destroy. I think 2 or 3 is a perfect amount

[@LuckyGhost]

that would be awesome

[@DemonKingHiei]

@@LuckyGhost u can only upgrade it 2x so just add a seed to each

[@kevinerickson84]

That's really not needed.

[@overlord6815]

My bro and I picked this up about a month ago, and play together on and off for about half of the game. It's a good game, frustrating at times but not unbearable. It's also beautiful and I enjoy the camera mode. I always laugh at how there are so many different environments in the game even though the whole game pretty make takes place within the same 5 mile radius.

[@swordguy1243]

This game is my Favorite Souls-like . Only one I've played several play throughs with different builds and will play more as time goes buy . Love the developers and hope to see a Second Part or DLC

[@cozyblueberry2367]

I just stumbled upon this video on my front page. I played at launch, but i will definetly check it out again now after watching this.

[@NeverDial911]

I downloaded this game at random with no knowledge of what it was and immediately fell inlove with it. Its insane seeing these videos and comments talking about how buggy it was, I'm glad i came across it after it was fixed because the game is so freaking fun. Im playing Sekiro and Elden Ring next!

[@alserrette]

Im so happy for you playing these games first b4 Elden Ring. Because there's no going back after Elden Ring.

[@Tellaz]

​@@alserretteidk. Combat wise I've been enjoying the souls likes more than elden ring. The camera and combat is just so annoying on bosses like maliketh when he's jumping around the arena. The camera and combat just felt way more crisp on lies of p imo and that's more of what I look for in a game than the visuals that elden ring give

[@GS7999]

​@@alserretteExactly why I haven't touched the Elden Ring yet. It's been only about a year since I started playing Souls games and I probably played them in the worst order possible- Sekiro, DS 3, DS 2, DS 1, and now Demon's Souls.

[@AlmissaGaming]

Lies of pi my man.

[@michiganjack1337]

It's great to see the team actually updating this. I know it's a different team from the first game, but the only that held me back from the first one was the camera swaying that you couldn't turn off. It would just make me nauseous

[@Arch_Angel_Michael]

I bought it at launch and had a great time with it. Looking forward to a possible sequel.

[@rbelljr29]

I want an option to have enemies in Axiom not appear in umbral once you transition. Nothing worse than dying to a squad of enemies, just to have them, plus an infinitely spawning squad of enemies now after you...while on a timer, until the red reaper shows up to 1 shot you.

[@wilfredwayne7139]

It's the red reaper that's annoying beat him pretty early so it was funny to have the umbral enemies scared when in umbral.

[@necysaelicwood1719]

As much as I know I sound like a soulsy nerd saying this, I really liked that. I loved the idea that you might not die truly the first time... but you are on a timer now, and shit just got a lot harder. Kind of like a souls gulag that sometimes you just have to go into, even if you know it means death.

[@schultz425c7]

The thing I love most about this game is how many ways you game go through out the game, yes there is a 1 Progression way to go but also there’s so many ins and outs to find collectables

[@mandrews6282]

I put over 100 hours into this one at launch. Loved it. Jumping back in for a replay now and I forgot how much I liked this game. Really looking forward to the announced sequel and I’m glad the devs are committed to improving this one. One of the best non FS soulslikes out there, still the best looking (at least as far as visual fidelity, art style preference may vary) and the Umbral mechanic really made for interesting exploration. Lots of great ideas and an extremely solid first outing for this studio. Looking forward to what they do with the sequel now that they have a solid foundation.

[@LuckyGhost]

I'm really excited to see how the sequel turns out. I feel like they learned a lot with this one, and the next one is going to be absolutely amazing

[@netterz3411]

I love this game honestly. I Love the seemless co op. I also love the way they did the spells/throwables mechanics.. the game looks amazing and the world design is great and I like the whole umbral world idea too. I also love how you can change your armor colors. If these developers and fromsoft got together and made a game I can’t even imagine how good it would be.

[@slight6069]

I'm one of the many players who bought the game day 1 and got put off because of the performance and balancing issues, I recently went back and try the game and man, it's incredible to play now. i'm glad the devs fixed all of the problems and made the game great. it's probably my fav souls like game now.

[@OG_Luciano]

Man I played this at alpha and at launch. Had a blast, have some time off plan on starting a NG today. Thanks for the video with all the information.

[@Rukkard]

Couldn't get into Fromsoft games and the only other souls-like games I enjoyed are Nioh and Wo Long, but those deviated a bit too much from the traditional souls formula. Lords of the Fallen is the first "traditional" souls game that hooked me completely. Something about the atmosphere and lore intrigued me and the gameplay itself is faster than Dark Souls, while still not being completely different like the games made by Koei. Overall an extremely underrated game which I personally hope will grow more in time.

[@benjaminmendy-cadol2706]

With a second one announced recently you will be happy

[@Poppyrae]

You should try bloodborn or lord of p souls like but faster combat

[@anotherdayanotherdeadlift]

Totally worth a try. Never played the 2014 version so I avoided all those problems, but this is a little gem. Some bosses are very...very...VERY frustrating but there are some truly satisfyin combat mechanics, like the double weapon attack or the umbral concept.

[@TheModerateExtremist448]

The 2014 version? Lol this game came out like MAYBE two years ago 😂

[@allendenton33]

I loved this game but got busy and know to come back I was gonna have to re learn what I was doing. These updates kinda make me excited to get back into it.

[@golfRgod]

I'm definitely gonna jump back into this at some point this year, just been busy with No Rest for the Wicked and prepping for Shadow of the Erdtree. This is a great game and I haven't finished my second playthrough but I will do another for sure after all these changes.

[@Gunnr-kxv]

No rest for the wicked is one of the games I'm waiting on for ps5. I'm also prepping for SOTE! Picked up v rising yesterday too. Absolutely fantastic game. Also playing dark souls 3 dlc

[@golfRgod]

@kevinmcarthur1784 yeah I was waiting for Wicked for PS5 also but just got a gaming PC so picked it up since it's not supposed to be out till 2025 for PS5, my first early access game. V Rising looked cool but I just got Last Epoch instead. I'm a pyscho cause I am doing Shadow of the Erdtree on PS5 with a high level character and also on PC with a low level character lol.

[@MrTmm97]

As someone who enjoyed the game when it released both solo and co-op. I loved it and the issues/bugs were frustrating but didn’t hurt the experience much. Recently came back to play NG+ and co-op with a friend new to the game and it’s in so much better shape than it was on release. Very stable. Tons of quality of life improvements and additions. Very stable with very few frame drops both solo and co-op. If it came out in this shape people would have loved this game. I am looking forward to a full on loot and enemy randomizer on CONSOLE! First time I think a console souls have had these features. Pre-upgraded loot, no vestige decay, original ad density are the modifiers on my NG+ playthrough and it’s great. Will be doing double randomizer next. Too few people have given this game a receive after the improvements.

[@JPAcuna3]

What console are you playing on? how good is the performance now?

[@MrTmm97]

@@JPAcuna3 Series X and frame drops were rare…. But even in the rare occasion it happens it doesn’t become unplayable. Compared to when the game released… especially in co-op it might as well be a different game. The frame drops when it released in co-op were awful and frustrating. Now it’s so rare it’s a non-issue. Great game. Way underrated.

[@JPAcuna3]

@@MrTmm97 Thanks for the quick reply, maybe i'll jump in eventually.

[@AwfulWeather5684]

I really wanted to like this game. The art design and world building was enough to get me to pre-order it, which is something I never do. Unfortunately I didn’t like it on release, and upon trying it again after this major update, it felt like nothing much had really changed tbh. Maybe I’ll try it again at some point because I really want to like the game. Reading everyone’s comments on this video makes me feel like I did something wrong, or missed something, because I just did not enjoy playing this game at all… I guess it’s all just about preference. I’m glad it has a loyal fan base though, because the devs seem pretty genuine, in an industry of AAA slop.

[@krugdueren1625]

thanks ! I will give a new try. I did not finish it and it's the first soul-like where I had to stop for kinda all those issues explained.

[@freebased_boomer709]

Love this game. Definitely going back

[@KadePreston-b5i]

9:28 something nice I noticed is that the game will drop you a higher level upgrade once in awhile to increase the levels of all the weapons you find so you essentially never have to upgrade manually if you so choose but upgrading will still rapidly increase efficiency

[@JuliusKingsleyXIII]

I’m in the middle of another play through right now. It’s my all time favorite souls like. My first time was after the enemy density was lowered thankfully, but still loving it today.

[@Tibbex]

Never felt the seedling system was an issue. And enemy density never bothered me. Loved the game. My only gripe was the momentum of attack. If you perform a combo you would move past your enemy and make a wierd turn-around attack.

[@porkwhisperer3050]

Yeah I think the enemy density reductions and increased amount of seedlings actually made the game significantly worse and moves away from the experience I think the devs were originally going for. While watching the video they were explaining how these mechanics worked and how they effected play and I was just thinking the whole time doesn’t this just sound like good game design.

I'm one of those players who gave up on Lords of the Fallen after about 20 hours. It was just frustrating because of the absurd enemy density, but above all because of the miserable performance on the PS5, even in performance mode! I felt the potential everywhere, I WANTED to love it, but it just didn't work. But your video convinced me to give the game another chance. I'm really excited. By the way, very cool video! Greetings from Germany!

@@maxonaroll I've played the game for about three hours so far, defeated the first boss (I started a new game), and only had a few frame drops during the boss fight, but they were nowhere near as dramatic as before the patch!

[@lSleepiel]

i remember playing the game when it first came out and less than 10 minutes into the game my character fell through the map and got stuck under the ground, i couldnt move or do anything and I tried closing and coming back and loaded in under the map again, i cant remember how but i found a way to die, it crashed my game and i loaded back in alive under the map again. I decided to make a new character and every single time i did my game crashed the second the first UNSKIPPABLE 10 minute or wtv cutscene finished. I let the cutscene play 8 times after restarting 8 times and kept crashing, so i put the game down and have yet to try it since. But after this vid I might give it another try here soon.

[@johnnyglenn2692]

Everyone on KZbin automatically gives Lies Of P and Wu Kong the unfromsoftware souls likes crowns. This is one of the video that points this out. I make sure to add this to everyone's comments all the time. Yes there are some things to get used to, like the gravity thing. But I kind of liked it. It made those areas even more dangerous. I think their spell system is something fromsoftware needs to upgrade to. Instead of clicking up, up, up, up, while dodging enemies fast as Radahn/Miquella looking for a spell, and down, down, down, down, trying to heal, find your blue flask, I think LOTF nailed the hold R2 system with all your spells easily seen on the bottom corner with the face buttons.

[@CharmingBl4zer]

well I will re-install and give it a try again nice to see all these updates, cause it was fun but exhausting.

[@featdirty1127]

I like this game purely because you can get a literal holy magic stick and add holy magic to make it an even holier stick and have NOT be garbage And the fact that you can almost max out a weapon before beating a single boss after finding Skyrest Bridge is kinda hilarious

I played this a year after it came out so I can't comment on how bad it was initially. It's not dark souls 2 bad. It's not dark souls 3 good.

Poor devs. If they made their own game engine optimized for their own combat and rendering then they would have released like Fromsoftware. Unreal Engine is destined to be a bloat and performance bottleneck. It is an opinioted set of tools which tries to fill all the bags.

Tried this game at launch, and I could hardly get through the tutorial without losing interest. Decided to give it another chance the other day and now I’m just completely hooked. This game truly deserves a second chance from everyone, and it seems like a crime to not pay respect to its Aesthetics.

[@rudolfaeschlimann6959]

The changes sound great. I wish it was chosable, if the attack animation stops at an edge. I kind of like the strategic placing of attacks depending how close an edge is, but I guess that's just me. I liked the faster pace this game has over my usual Eldne-Ring, Dark Souls characters

[@azforu29]

Ive been with this game since the second it went retail, as im sure some of you here have been as well. As of July 25th 2024 it is in the ultimate state of Lords of the Fallen. The game was always good, now its sick. If i could offer some insight, I have this on both PS5 and Series X. One series x the lock on is still infuriatingly inaccurate. PS5 has wonderful enemy lock friction. Preformance has plenty of overhead on Series X, but its still a bit droopy in Quality mode. But if your on the fence and you like gross, fucked up imagery and violent combat then LOTF got you.

[@LeonJohnson-yi3hg]

This games cool. A very unique system with the umbral world. Haven’t played much of it since black myth came out. I’ll go back to it at some point Liked using the spear for its range against the enemies

I'm currently playing this Lords of the fallen now and it's awesome and loving it but only issue I have is trying to kill the scarlet shadow (red reaper) he ridiculous OP and damn hard to kill especially when have constant annoying mobs of enemies aswell attacking you and didn't help at all they constant patches ways of defeating it are stupid also they didn't fix the lock-on it still terrible and sucks

[@PuraCaseus]

Im a huge souls fan and have played pretty much all souls clones. And this game felt like one of the worse ones, where i even enjoyed their previous lords of the fallen more. -The balancing of weapons felt really odd, with weapons often doing the same damage with the heavy attack or maybe 10% more. -One handing weapons felt awful and would constantly clank into walls, the ground or stairs. -Enemies sliding 5 meters forward when they attack, while you'd think you have the enemy outspaced. Lords of the ice skates... -Many weapons of different categories had the same copy paste moveset, making it feel like nothing was unique. -Parrying multi-hits never worked, since the parry had a slight recovery so you'd just get hit by the next attack. -Wither damage made no sense at all. Doing 2 weapon attacks with a weapon with no wither, versus 2 attacks with wither made no real damage difference, it feels like a weird gimmick that seems to have tricked people into thinking you'd do increased damage. Instead it just gives the enemy a chance to gain the withered health back with no benefit. Most bosses as well were just terrible to the point it made dark souls 2's bosses look amazing. Still glad to see the devs have been working hard, maybe the game is decent this time around.
