Whereas Lies of P is ready to obtain an enormous replace this 12 months when the prequel DLC Overture arrives, one other replace will probably be simply as noteworthy: Lies of P goes to obtain problem choices. Which means, the notoriously troublesome soulslike goes to change into simpler — and extra accessible.
“We wished to verify a wider viewers of gamers might play the sport,” sport director Jiwon Choi instructed VGC. Lies of P has already discovered an viewers — it bought 1 million copies in its first month on market and has been performed by at the least 7 million folks — and a better gameplay expertise can open it as much as extra gamers who had been delay by its troublesome and unforgiving nature.
Choi famous this resolution stemmed from participant suggestions in addition to “from our builders” at Neowiz and Round8 Studio. “So by making improvement changes and introducing these problem choices, we are able to provide the expertise to various kinds of gamers. This broadens the bottom.” The default problem will probably be named “Legendary Stalker” whereas the 2 new choices will probably be referred to as “Butterfly’s Steering” and “Woke up Puppet.” epicgamejourney has reached out to Neowiz for additional touch upon the main points of those problem choices, and can replace this story after we hear again.
New problem choices may even be a welcome addition for longtime Lies of P gamers and soulslike vets; anybody who’s been completely bodied by the Mad Clown Puppet earlier than the Opera Home is aware of what I’m speaking about. And whereas Lies of P has loads of bosses worthy of a difficult and fascinating struggle, some, just like the Inexperienced Monster of the Swamp and the Walker of Illusions, are extra irritating than enjoyable. The power to decrease the problem on future playthroughs for bosses like these will definitely circumvent a number of the frustration stemming from these encounters.
Alongside the DLC and problem choices may even be a brand new boss rush mode, Dying March. You’ll additionally have the ability to replay boss fights by way of the brand new Battle Recollections mode, which is admittedly one thing that each soulslike sport wants.
