Every since we first heard that a game based in the Lords of the Fallen universe would eventually hit iOS, we were curious as to how the Dark Souls-style gameplay would translate onto the mobile platform. When we finally learned that it would be, in essence, an Infinity Blade clone, we were met with even more questions. Would it offer anything to the genre" Can it successfully be a successor to the aging Infinity Blade series" Unfortunately, the answer to both those questions is a definitive ?No.? Lords of the Fallen [$9.99] is simply a sub-par clone in a genre that requires perfect execution to be worth playing.
Being an Infinity Blade clone, it?s really not hard to get into Lords of the Fallen. Your hero moves automatically from locations to location, encountering a variety of enemies from the LotF universe. Once battle starts, you dodge, block or parry your way to stunning your opponents. Once stunned, you can get a few good hacks in to deal damage. After they recover, you do it all again until they are defeated. Spells are available to spice up the combat, and once you defeat your foe you earn both gold and experience. Level up, and you can increase the spell levels of your collection. Earn enough gold and you can purchase a large variety of weapons and armor in a shop system that looks almost exactly like Infinity Blade.
I wish I could say there was more to the combat system, but unfortunately it simply lacks any actual innovation. If anything, I?d say Lord...
