It's generally a good looking world, although aside from the welcome lengthy jaunt into the Rhogar homeworld, it’s composed of the usual crumbling castles and snowy peaks. Far more interesting are the audio snippets of lore waiting in scrolls scattered about the world of Keystone, which help Harkyn's world come to life in a way it never manages with the main cast of characters in play. It peppers its cutscenes with choices such as whether to chop a monk's infected arm off or leave it to fester, but significance feels minimal aside from alterations to the final scene after the last boss falls over. The story wants to be something greater, but never quite attains it. When the plot tries for a shocking twist near the end of its roughly 17-hour story, it's hard to care about anyone involved. Even the big bad guy behind it all gets only around three minutes of screen time. We’re never told the nature of his crimes, however, and Lords repeatedly introduces other characters with only a modicum of characterization. Lords of the Fallen’s formulaic story follows Harkyn, a gruff criminal who's pulled from behind bars to save the world from interdimensional monsters called the Rhogar.
