CI Games has now released the final update for their superb action RPG Lords of the Fallenversion 1.5 dubbed Master of Fate. This update is the culmination of more than 30 patches and updates since its release last October. Master of Fate comes with a feature called Advanced Game Modifier System and targets the players who passed Lords of the Fallen and which ventures into New Game +.
The Advanced Game Modifier System gives players the ability to dictate the game experience with seven different modifications. These can make the game harder, easier or more random. For example, the Randomized Loot mod makes all treasures randomly placed, so you never know what you’ll find. A similar modification randomizes the locations of enemies and can create terribly difficult encounters early in the adventure!
Please read our review on Lords of the Fallenwhich we gave a solid nine in the review!
Ironman does as you might suspect you only have one life left and death sends you back to the start. Combine Ironman with Randomized Loot and Enemies and you’ve transformed Lords of the Fallen to a rogue-lite!
