X35 Earthwalker No Rest for the Wicked

No Rest for the Wicked is top-down action role playing game developed by ‘Moon studios‘ and published by ‘Xbox Game Studios‘. No Rest for the Wicked is said to be coming out… Well… Maybe we know and maybe we don’t. No Rest for the Wicked is coming to the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S. We at X35 Earthwalker definitely couldn’t miss this game. We got something here. No Rest for the Wicked is clearly aiming to hit hard and massive. Let’s take a look.

No Rest for the Wicked is set in the year 841. The dude King Harol is dead. Now like many great kings in history, king harol has a son who just ain’t on his level. His son is Magnus and he’s described as arrogant and untested. This alone can ruin a whole kingdom and cause massive problems. It gets worse though. There’s scarier things going down in the hollow…

X35 Earthwalker No Rest for the Wicked

On No Rest for the Wicked, there’s a pestilence described as an unholy plague. Well it’s back… crap. Hasn’t been seen in a thousand years. The pestilence is spreading fast and making its way across the land and it’s messing with everything it touches. so as you can imagine things are getting very chaotic… maybe even political. Yep, different sides and people want different things to happen and you are caught in the middle sort off. Who’s you?

Players control a Cerim. Basically part of a special mystical group of holy warriors. Cerim are wielding special powers and their sworn mission is to defeat the unholy plague, the pestilence… by any means necessary.. or at all costs. you ain’t the only thing that matters in No Rest for the Wicked. There are other significant characters in this world who are taking action. Like Madrigal Seline. She is “a ruthlessly ambitious figure in the church”. She see’s the pestilence as a chance to prove herself in the eyes of her god. Moon studios better do this character right and not disrespect religious characters like many other games do. Madrigal Seline has a plan and she about that action.

X35 Earthwalker No Rest for the Wicked

The main action takes place on the backwater Isola Sacra. The provincial government is fighting rebel groups amongst the ruins. Even events like this will make your mission more messy and complicated. You’ll get caught up in affairs of people, don’t forget the political struggle we mentioned earlier. Also this land has been through some stuff so don’t expect merry and singing locals. Decisions will need to be made amongst the chaos in No Rest for the Wicked. What direction will you allow yourself to be pulled towards?

X35 Earthwalker No Rest for the Wicked

We checked out some No Rest for the Wicked gameplay and it’s not really what we expected. No Rest for the Wicked is nothing like Ori and the Will of the Wisps in terms of graphic style, design and game genre. A whole new big thing. This top down action looks clean. We also see some mystical abilities like a fire blast of some sort. There’s fast mobility like dodges and dashes. Different weapons from a bow & arrow to a sword.  This definitely looks like it about that action. Action, plus mystical, plus story is hard to produce something bad. We definitely will like to see more.

Overall No Rest for the Wicked looks like an excellent game. No Rest for the Wicked already has us excited. Ori and the Will of the Wisps is the best game ever made. We knew Moon Studios had to be up to something all this time but staying silent. Now we see what it is. Know from seeing the trailer just once we already pieced some things together. Pretty convenient that the plague shows up when king Harol dies… hmmmmmmmm. There’s definitely going to be some lore and a deeper story here. One that will make players conflicted and torn. Maybe somebody gon cry. The developers ‘Moon Studios’ have done a excellent job so far. We at X35 Earthwalker are looking forward to playing this game. Now No Rest for the Wicked may be the secret project but it’s basically an open book in the eyes of… the ‘Earth Walk!’

X35 Earthwalker Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora is a first person action adventure game developed by ‘Massive Entertainment‘ and published by ‘Ubisoft‘. Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora is said to be coming out the 7th of December 2023 on the Xbox Series X/S, PS5 and pc. X35 Earthwalker loves creativity and beautiful worlds. Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora might have this. Let’s take a look. 

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora is off course set on the world of Pandora. Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora has a standalone story. So be prepared to see some different stuff. Players will play as Na’vi. You will travel or should we say go on a journey across the ‘western frontier’. The western frontier is a part that hasn’t been seen before. This alone brings some excitement.

X35 Earthwalker Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora was developed for the next gen consoles. So imagine how great things will look on the Xbox Series X especially as the most powerful console. Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora is open world and so far the world looks beautiful. We are seeing vibrant colours and flora dominating the place as it should. This world is described as “living and reactive”. We will look to see if this is in fact true. If so, that would be a medium plus.

X35 Earthwalker Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora

As Na’vi you have higher strength and mobility. So get moving and put that strength to use. Your character is customisable and players can craft new gear. Of course a game like this has upgrades. So improve those skills. Weapons can also be upgraded. Now hopefully Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora has upgrades and abilities that work with the actual environment. The species native to Pandora are well adapted to the place and so we expect to see very suitable abilities that also allow for different play styles.

We checked out some Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora gameplay and it’s what we expected… for the most part. There’s characters to interact with and creatures in there that will be doing their thing. What for sure will be there is the RDA. Face them and push them back. It’s not going to be easy but… someone gots to do it. We do like that there is the traditional weapons route like the bows and spear throwing or you can go modern human with rifles and even a shotgun. So there are some options.

Overall Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora looks like a very good game. We like that players can bond with and ride a Banshee to traverse this big area and even engage in aerial combat with the RDA. There’s even some mystical looking structures and anomalies. A environment like Pandora should easily house numerous mysteries, ruins maybe artefacts. Developers better get creative with it. Definitely hoping to see more of what Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora has to offer. The developers ‘Massive Entertainment’ have done an excellent job so far. We at X35 Earthwalker will keep our eyes open for this game. Now Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora may have a never before seen environment but it’s obvious stuff for… the ‘Earth Walk!’

X35 Earthwalker Pixel Cafe

Pixel Cafe is an arcade visual novel game developed and published by ‘Baltoro Games‘. Pixel Cafe is said to be coming out the 30th of November 2023 on the Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PS5, PS4 and pc. X35 Earthwalker has big respect for coffee barista games all because of just one game. So X35 will look at this. Pixel Cafe is looking to be a bit of a journey. Let’s take a look.

Pixel Cafe is all about a small town girl who sets out own her cafe serving adventure… basically. Her name is Pixel who’s a barista and she has big goals. Small town girl no longer… hopefully. So she will do some travelling, reach different locations and work jobs. Pixel will have a variety of bosses who you will have to interact with them and make sure to pay attention to the dialogue. So yeah, serve drinks, serve food and do your best. 

X35 Earthwalker Pixel Cafe

Pixel Cafe definitely has that that whole arcade world map thing down. A very beautiful and detailed looking world map. Pixel Cafe has multiple locations and players must get Pixel to travel around. She’s moving to make her dreams happen. So yeah, take time to appreciate the world map. Question though is whether the map will expand as you play or will you see the whole map from the start but off course some places are locked up? 

X35 Earthwalker Pixel Cafe

Pixel is so cute but she Pixel has quite a bit going on in her life. Significant memories that have obviously impacted and shaped her life. Players will get to see and learn of these things. It does explain a bit and allows you to know more and care more for Pixel. So players will have conversations with family and others who maybe knew your family or friends. The dialogue matters, after all it is a visual novel so be prepared to read…. you can read right? 

X35 Earthwalker Pixel Cafe

We checked out some Pixel Cafe gameplay and it’s what we expected. Things seem to make sense. Some of these bosses though be giving some serious suspicions right of the bat. Time management is a party of this game. Players will need to think on their feet and decide the order of doing things. After all things get bigger and more difficult as you progress. Customers will get more annoying too. Also, try not to get fired. 

Overall Pixel Cafe looks like a very good game. We liking what we see. You get to see Pixel learn from her memories of their past and grow as a person. You see the journey and some struggle… maybe.  It’s not just drinks but food also that you have to serve to the customers. Use your hard earned cash to decorate and fill up your apartment with furniture and more. It’s a journey, so grab a drink, possibly a snack and reading glasses if you need them. Then get ready. The developers ‘Baltoro Games’ have done an excellent job so far. We at X35 Earthwalker will have to keep an eye open for this game. Pixel Cafe may have drinks, memories and a dream but those are just simple things in the eyes of… the ‘Earth Walk!’

X35 Earthwalker Flashback 2

Flashback 2 is an action platform shooter game developed and published by ‘Microbe‘. Flashback 2 is said to be coming out the 16th of November 2023 on the Xbox Series X, Xbox One, PS5, PS4 and pc. X35 Earthwalker has never heard of this or the first gamer before. Flashback 2 is aiming to make a big show off. Let’s take a look.

Flashback 2 is set in the future. The 22nd century. The solar system is quite peaceful. The united worlds are all across it. The peace of course is ruined by the Morph invasion. General Lazarus is behind this invasion. Our main guy Conrad B. Hart is getting back into the action. His main focus is finding his lifelong friend Ian. Conrad will be working with his allies and an AI powered weapon called A.I.S.H.A. Your enemy? The Morphs.

X35 Earthwalker Flashback 2

Definitely looks like a lot is going on here. Of course we are most interested in the combat. It’s a full on battle for survival. The maps and locations are proper 3D and have room for exploration. What’s even better is that it’s not just facilities and buildings. There’s the environment and outside world too. We got a whole jungle area and it looks very good.

X35 Earthwalker Flashback 2

We checked out some Flashback 2 gameplay and it’s not exactly what we expected. The enemies aren’t playing around. The technology is definitely futuristic. The shields you can deploy to protect yourself. The projectiles the weapons fire looking like blaster lasers. Were hope Flashback 2 does get kind of crazy. They keep saying it’s been 30 years but it’s actually 31 years. Strange.

Overall Flashback 2 looks like a very good game. Visually things are good. The details are very good too. The focus is there. The Morphs don’t seem that intimidating which is disappointing. They better be a major threat. We also hope that Flashback 2 makes use of the whole invasion by Morphs thing. It needs to be visually clear and used effectively. The developers ‘Microids’ have done a very good job so far. We at X35 Earthwalker will have to hear how gamers deal with this. Now Flashback 2 may have waited a very long time but it’s incredibly short from the perspective of… the ‘Earth Walk!’

X35 Earthwalker Tales of Arise: Beyond the Dawn

Tales of Arise: Beyond the Dawn is a new expansion developed and published by ‘Bandai Namco‘. Tales of Arise: Beyond the Dawn is said to be coming out the 9th of November 2023 on the Xbox Series X, Xbox One, PS5, PS4 and pc. X35 Earthwalker will see what this is all about. Now Tales of Arise: Beyond the Dawn is looking like a big expansion. Quick note; X35 Earthwalker will be making G blogs smaller from now on. Let’s take a look.

Tales of Arise in case you didn’t know has been described as this, “On the planet Dahna, reverence has always been given to Rena, the planet in the sky, as a land of the righteous and divine. Stories handed down for generations became truth and masked reality for the people of Dahna. For 300 years, Rena has ruled over Dahna, pillaging the planet of its resources and stripping people of their dignity and freedom. Our tale begins with two people, born on different worlds, each looking to change their fate and create a new future”. This does remind us of another storyline from a game we played in the past. Tales of Arise is easy to understand. Good grounds for a good story.

X35 Earthwalker Tales of Arise: Beyond the Dawn

Tales of Arise: Beyond the Dawn is bringing in new characters, some additions and changes to combat and even the mechanics. Beyond the Dawn is the next chapter. This next chapter takes place one year after Tales of Arise. From what we hear, Alphen and his crew encounter a girl whose name is Nazamil. she is the daughter of Dahnan and Renan lord. Nothing strange or unique about that… right? The crew are going to help her out. Something to do with the curse of the mask. You could as someone who has experience with masks like Link.

X35 Earthwalker Tales of Arise: Beyond the Dawn

Tales of Arise: Beyond the Dawn is a big expansion for sure. Beyond the Dawn is said to be around 20 hours of content. There;’s also more dungeons and off course more bosses. That’s the most exciting part for us. If it isn’t obvious, there are more quests as well. You love to see it. YES, YOU, DO!!!

Overall this expansion “Beyond the Dawn” is looking good. Brings not a few but a whole bunch of things. Never waste gamers time and get us excited for a small expansion and little things. Especially in series they care about. Get us excited and then deliver with the good stuff. The developers ‘Bandai Namco’ have done a great job with this one. We at X35 Earthwalker will have to see how gamers receive this expansion. Now Tales of Arise: Beyond the Dawn may be a big expansion, it’s still small compared to… the ‘Earth Walk!’

X35 Earthwalker Turok 3: Shadows of Oblivion remastered

Turok 3: Shadow of Oblivion Remastered is an action adventure First Person Shooter game developed and published by ‘Nightdive Studios‘. Turok 3: Shadow of Oblivion is said to be coming out the 14th of November 2023 on the Xbox Series X, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PS5, PS4 and pc. X35 Earthwalker has many questions regarding this game. Turok 3: Shadow of Oblivion Remastered out here wanting to bring back some experiences. Let’s take a look.

Turok 3: Shadow of Oblivion Remastered is obviously a remaster. Not a remake. So players who are a fan of the Turk series should already know what to expect. Those who truly enjoyed Turok 3: Shadow of Oblivion should definitely get a kick out of Turok 3: Shadow of Oblivion Remastered. The remaster strongly implies there’s going to be a an upgrade in the visuals and graphics. at the bare minimum there has to be.

X35 Earthwalker Turok 3: Shadows of Oblivion remastered

Here’s what was said about Turok 3: Shadow of Oblivion Remastered, “it now supports gameplay on contemporary devices with impressive 4K resolution at 120FPS. This title complements the esteemed remasters of Turok and Turok 2: Seeds of Evil, brought to life by Nightdive Studios, Universal Games, and Digital Platforms, rounding off the trilogy. The remastered version boasts refined gameplay, sharp high-resolution textures, advanced lighting and rendering, and gamepad support.”

Other from this we hear that Turok 3: Shadow of Oblivion Remastered will also have more features like anti-aliasing, ambient occlusion, bloom, dynamic shadows and motion blur. There’s also updated weapon models, “remastered environment art” and better character models. On top of all that there are new achievements. So players have new things to fight and aim for… if you care about the achievements.   

X35 Earthwalker Turok 3: Shadows of Oblivion remastered

We checked out some Turok 3: Shadow of Oblivion Remastered gameplay and it’s not really what we expected. We did expect the visuals to be better though. It’s easier said than done but we have seen better jobs. The performance is definitely much better though and that does matter a lot. Our main concern is the problem that almost every remaster game has which is what else do they offer. they don’t have top offer more but it definitely adds far more reason to get the remaster besides just playing it again. Turok 3: Shadow of Oblivion Remastered being available on next gen and modern consoles is. big deal and added accessibility. X35 Earthwalker just always wants there to be some bonuses included.

Overall Turok 3: Shadow of Oblivion Remastered does look like an alright game. Turok 3: Shadow of Oblivion wasn’t out favourite Turok. We wanted more Turok evolution. That would be big move. The developers ‘Nightdive studios’ have done an alright job so far. We at X35 Earthwalker will have to hear what this game does. Now Turok 3: Shadow of Oblivion Remastered may have brought an upgrade but it’s too noticeable for… the ‘Earth Walk!’

X35 Earthwalker Stray Souls

Stray Souls is a survival horror game developed by ‘Jukai Studio‘ and published by ‘Versus Evil‘. Stray Souls is said to come out the 25th of October 2023 on the Xbox Series X, PS5 and pc. X35 Earthwalker will give this game a chance. Stray Souls is definitely going to be something that players will recognise. Let’s take a look.

Stray Souls is about a dude named Daniel who inherits a house from his “estranged grandmother”. Of course he happily moves in and meets a girl who clearly has good knowledge about the house. This ain’t your normal house alright. It’s a horror game, of course it isn’t. The thing is, as the night progresses, things get darker and more secrets come to the surface.

X35 Earthwalker Stray Souls

Players will need to not only explore the house but also the surrounding area. There’s quite a bit to see. We definitely like the big scenery. Seeing water, rocks, trees and the fact that you’re basically on your own. Now if gamers were paying attention they would be reminded about something. Stray Souls does remind us of silent hill. The indoors, the outdoors and the exploration. Things can be dark and fog is a bit of a thing but not as heavy. Not only that… there’s some threats too. 

X35 Earthwalker Stray Souls

Now off course a game like Stray Souls definitely needs some threats. There are. Some almost chalky statue looking ones. Even the enemies sort of remind us of silent hill, except these enemies are better. They do however look like a baseball bat would get the job done easily. Now there are some real big threats too. There’s this big beast looking one that and it sure ain’t friendly. Most likely Daniel must hide and run from that thing, instead of battle.

We checked out some Stray Souls gameplay and it’s what we expected sort off. Stray Souls doesn’t keep you defenceless. Daniel can get a firearm. A pistol has been seen. Taking down the humanoid ones. There’s some action here. Things do look standard for sure. Stray Souls doesn’t look impressive graphically. We were hoping for more but it definitely get the job done.

Overall Stray Souls seems like an alright game. The biggest factor is the large monster enemy. The others aren’t intimidating. The house needs to have some scary and creepy stuff. The outdoors are also the better parts in our opinions. The developers ‘Jukai studios’ have done a good job so far. We at X35 Earthwalker will have to hear what this game brings up. Stray Souls may have a giant monster in the forest but it’s a small problem if handled by… the ‘Earth Walk!’

X35 Earthwalker Dead Island 2 'Haus'

Dead Island 2 ‘Haus’ is the new story expansion developed by ‘Dambuster studios‘ and published by ‘Deep Silver‘. Dead Island 2 ‘Haus’ is said to be coming out the 2nd of November 2023 on the Xbox Series X, Xbox One, PS5, PS4 and pc. X35 Earthwalker sees the twist that this expansion is bringing. Dead Island 2 ‘Haus’ is coming in hot. Let’s take a look.

Dead Island 2 ‘Haus’ already has out attention due to one major change that it appears to bring. First and foremost players will get a whole new area to explore and battle in… Malibu. There’s a cult there and off course a billionaire is involved. More like running things. It has been described as a psycho horror dreamscape. This is a whole new storyline and it fits into Dead Island 2 timeline as the ending had players character stay behind to do a search for a specific character. So it fits.

X35 Earthwalker Dead Island 2 'Haus'

Now time for some new stuff. New weapons. There’s the K-rossbow which is long ranged and described as powerful. There’s another called the “Dead Islands”. That’s now you know it’s crazy powerful as it’s named after the game basically. It’s said to “take the weight off their shoulders whilst they smash undead enemies into oblivion”. There’s also a flame thrower basically called a Hog Roaster. So that’s good to see. Flamethrower vs zombies sounds like fun. 

There’s more cards now as well. 8 new cards to be exact. We ain’t saying what they do. Learn for yourself. This techno death cult is going to be a problem. Not for the mighty character that X35 Earthwalker created though. Easy work. For the rest of you Dead Island 2 players, this should be a battle. So get ready to see the cult leader hq… Konstantin’s 1960s modern style villa… which sucks.

X35 Earthwalker Dead Island 2 'Haus'

We checked out Dead Island 2 ‘Haus’ gameplay and it’s what we expected. Sadly it’s so far underwhelming for us. More like standard Dead Island 2… which isn’t bad as Dead Island 2 is an excellent game. We had lots of fun. We were just hoping for things to take a more scary turn. We see some attempts though. Things are definitely darker and there’s some Bramble: The mountain king type stuff going on in there… sort off. Watch out for a pig. Trust us.

Overall Dead Island 2 ‘Haus’ looks like it’s going to be a good experience for sure. Dead Island 2 players got something new to look forward to with a whole new storyline. How crazy will this cult be? Will there be new or variants of the zombies? We have questions and will wait to see. The developers ‘Dambuster studios’ have done a good job so far. We at X35 Earthwalker will listen up for what this expansion dlc has to offer. Dead Island 2 ‘Haus’ may have a cult in Malibu but they are just small fry compared to… the ‘Earth Walk!’

X35 Earthwalker Slender: The Arrival 10 year anniversary update

Slender: The Arrival 10 year anniversary update is the adventure horror game developed by ‘Blue Isle studios‘. Slender: The Arrival 10 year anniversary update is said to be coming out the 18th of October 2023 on the Xbox Series X, PS5 and pc. X35 Earthwalker has stepped on slender man multiple times. He’s not an issue to him. Slender: The Arrival 10 year anniversary update wants to bring some scares and memories. Let’s take a look.

Slender: The Arrival 10 year anniversary update automatically just brings back memories for many gamers. Slender man at one point was very popular and made sure that people stayed out of the woods. X35 Earthwalker still went through a forest. The whole premise was that you collected pages. 8 pages and as you got more and more of them, the slender man was more aggressive, got closer and gave you more issues. Do not look at Slender man and most importantly never touch him either. That’s all. 

X35 Earthwalker Slender: The Arrival 10 year anniversary update

Then there was Slender: The arrival which was the full fledge game for slender man. You had a story. You had to actually travel somewhere. There was more objectives, usually just finding multiple of something like generators to move on to the next area. There was multiple levels and even. second threat. Some called her kate or something. We do not care. Overall a much better game that the first little test taste for player that was the 8 pages. Slender man still behaved the same way for the most part but Kate was the one who chased you down and you had to deal with her. This means there are expectations for Slender: The Arrival 10 year anniversary update.

Slender: The Arrival 10 year anniversary update is suppose to be a much better version of the previous arrival game… in every way. Read what they said about the game, “official re-imagining and expansion of the original game, featuring a brand-new storyline, new characters, improved visuals, great replay value, and most importantly, survival horror at its best”. Now that is just crazy. If accurate then Slender: The Arrival 10 year anniversary is clearly not just a remaster. There’s whole new stuff. 

X35 Earthwalker Slender: The Arrival 10 year anniversary update

What sounds like complete cap right now is that whole “survival horror at its best” part. That’s a mighty claim and we will see for ourselves. New characters which hopefully means slender man has more friends to bring into the party. Hopefully the whole games design makes more sense and they make it more realistic and relatable. Will the adventure take place over a whole town in different areas or will it just be another abandoned factory or whatever.

We checked out some Slender: The Arrival 10 year anniversary update gameplay and it’s what we expected. It looks familiar but a step up in quality. We like how the woods and trees looks. Slender man does look lack buster though. Not intimidating at all. The game definitely looks more expansive. Can’t see what would make this game “survival horror at its best”. There’s a lot to see and we hope that it all gets seen.  

Overall Slender: The Arrival 10 year anniversary update looks like it’s going to be a good game. It’s slender man so we know what to expect by now. If you don’t then this might just be a new experience for you. We hop eat escape and encounters are done well. The developers ‘Blue Isle studios’ have done a good job so far. We at X35 Earthwalker aren’t looking forward to this game but we know many are. Slender: The Arrival 10 year anniversary update may have a improved and expanded adventure but it’s not spooky enough for… the ‘Earth Walk!’

X35 Earthwalker Lords of the Fallen (2023)

Lords of the Fallen (2023) is the new massive action Role Playing Game developed by ‘Hexworks‘ and published by ‘CI Games‘. Lords of the Fallen is said to be coming out the 13th of October 2023 on the Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, PS5 and pc.  X35 Earthwalker conquered the first Lord of the Fallen game. Lords of the Fallen coming back bigger and better. Let’s take a look.

Lords of the Fallen (2023) is stepping everything up from the first game, which was a lot of fun, good experience and good game. This new Lords of the Fallen game takes place “more than a thousand years after the events of the first game” in Mornstead. So so much has clearly happened. X35 Earthwalker was a honourable person in the first game and lived through all those many years. For you regular gamer bums out there, you died and will dive into this whole new world… crazy world.  So pick up your weapon and get to it… Ready or not.

X35 Earthwalker Lords of the Fallen (2023)

Now what’s happening? In Lords of the Fallen there’s this demon god called Adyr who was a cruel tyrant. He got defeated. These gods will always come back eventually. Adyr is trying to pull off a resurrection. You as “one of the fabled dark crusaders” is going to stop this… hopefully. So this means players will need to journey through both the realms of the living and the dead which off course will be loaded with threats, dangers and bosses. So expect a big story with lore and encounters.

The enemies are always going to be a big focus of games like this. When you create a big fantasy world, especially a dark world. The expectations for there fore’s and monsters are going to be big. We need dangers of every size. We need creatures that look hellish or cursed. We need threats that can intimidate the player on first sighting. We need foes that can’t be handled and maybe best to avoid… for now. We need things that give chase and punish cocky players. We need things that are deceptive and give players the wrong idea when encountered. There’s so much room for darkness and scary stuff that it has to be used. Lords of the Fallen need an excellent cast of monsters and creatures roaming and alive in this world AND the expectations are higher when it comes to the realm of the dead. We want hellish creatures in the true sense.

X35 Earthwalker Lords of the Fallen (2023)

Lords of the Fallen now has a “vast, interconnected world, more than five times larger than the original game.” This alone is a big step up from the first game and already changes the experience. We hear there’s going to be lots of NPC quests thanks to there being multiple characters. Who they are, what they say and their behaviour will matter due to the setting here in Lords of the Fallen.

What’s the best thing about Lords of the Fallen? Maybe the fact that you can invite a second player into your adventure in “uninterrupted online co-op”. Why it’s not the best thing though is that it’s online co-op and not local. What is with game developers who lack the wisdom to understand that gamers want to play with family and friends OVER online friends. X35 Earthwalker rather grab a second controller and explore with a sibling over random dan online. MAKE MORE GAMES LOCAL CO-OP!!!  

X35 Earthwalker Lords of the Fallen (2023)

The realm of the living and dead are both big and described as expansive in Lords of the Fallen. They are obviously parallel so maybe remember this. Both have their own style of obstacles. It’s actually quite common sense. The realm of the living will have buildings, groups, intelligent life, armies, wild creatures, curses and stuff you would imagine in a weapon wielding, cursed open field world. The realm of the dead is about the darkness and nightmares. Expect terrors to be there… lurking. By the way, you travel through both realms thanks to your special but dark lantern. 

Lords of the Fallen has character customisation. Apparently there’s a “wide array of visuals options”. We will be the judge of that. There’s also 9 character classes. This is actually exciting. They can get so creative with it. Don’t let us down. Some classes are: Rouge, knight and a fire apprentice. Interesting. Like before, players can upgrade their stats, spells, armour and weapons. Lords of the Fallen did have a better system concerning the weapons and stats over Dark souls. We actually preferred Lords of the Fallen over Dark souls as well. Rumour has it, that there are “100s of uniquely brutal weapons”. There are off course spells and attacks of arcane. Very interested to see how spells and arcane is used in Lords of the Fallen especially seeing what Elden Ring did with theirs. 

X35 Earthwalker Lords of the Fallen (2023)

We checked out some Lords of the Fallen gameplay and it’s what we expected. Definitely looking good too. We like the buildings designs of some. The dark looking age is clearly seen. The imagery are still a bit cowardly. There should be more disturbing images for the setting of Mornstead and what it’s gone through historically. Some foes look monstrous but we aren’t intimidated yet. We see snow, mines, destroyed places, burning places, some valley and rocks too. Variety is there. The combat looks familiar. there’s clearly;y a Loy going on here and that’s good to see. Apparently you can “even manipulate the very soul of your foe” thanks to the lantern. We wonder how this will be implemented in a consistent and meaningful way.

Overall Lords of the Fallen is looking like a fantastic game so far. Clearly lots of work went into this and we respect that. We also like the whole death system where if you die, you have one chance to return to the living and you must do so before the creatures of hellish nature get you first. The combat is looking sort of fast paced. bosses will either be around out size or enormous. Hopefully we can meet some characters who become allies. The developers ‘Hexworks’ have done an excellent job so far. We at X35 Earthwalker will keep an eye on this game. Now Lords of the Fallen (2023) may have a vast deadly world but this world is too safe for work for… the ‘Earth Walk!’
