Players are guided on a predefined journey, but there are a wealth of hidden areas and secret paths to discover. But I’ve thrown you in a bit later on, so you can experience a boss fight.” “The first time you enter a world, you’ll need to do a lot of exploration, learning your surroundings and what kind of enemies you’ll face. Thomasz explains that players will be free to shift between worlds as they see fit where I am now however, is Harkin’s second visit. “Learning more about both realms guides the player towards making a massive decision that affects how the story plays out – so getting the perspective from both worlds helps guide the game and the character in a certain way.” “It’s an important point in the game,” Thomasz says as I face the first of the sword-wielding brutes blocking my path.
I sat down with Thomasz at Gamescom 2014 to get hands-on with Lords of the Fallen’s “second dimension,” an alternate realm that the game’s protagonist – and prolific sinner – Harkin will journey back and forth from throughout his blood-soaked quest. As executive producer in the small creative team at Poland’s CI Games, Thomasz’s friendly demeanor hides the dark heart of the man responsible for the most brutal, punishing, yet immensely satisfying fantasy RPG to make its way to PlayStation 4 so far. “That’s good! But you’re still gonna die… a lot.” Thomasz’s jovial reply isn’t exactly encouraging. In answer to that – still bearing the scars of endless Dark Souls re-starts – yes, I do like a challenge. So begins my first step into the demonic realm of the Fallen God – chief antagonist in Thomasz Gop and CI Games’ forthcoming fantasy RPG, Lords of the Fallen on PS4.
