Godfall invites you to loot your enemies and destroy a deity

Fight the hordes solo or in co-op.

I do love a game that lets you bring down a mean god. Godfall's deity, Macros, sits above an army of vicious goons and you, a Valorant knight, have to take all of them down with swift combos and sweet special abilities. We got a special look at the game at the PC Gaming Show 2020, as you can see above.

As a Valorant knight, you are uniquely capable of equipping 'Valorplates', which are suits of armour that grant you different abilities. It makes me think of the game as a high fantasy take on Warframe, but with less crafting and more looting the bodies of your enemies. According to the Playstation blog, there are five weapon classes to play with, and you can fight with up to two friends in co-op.

Godfall looks exciting from a technical perspective, and as a Destiny player I do very much love a punchy game with loot. If this ends up being a colourful over-the-shoulder Diablo then I might get sucked in for dozens of hours.

Godfall is being developed by Counterplay Games and published by Gearbox. Counterplay created the ace and underappreciated Duelyst, which we liked a lot in our review. I look forward to seeing how that expertise for creating a sandbox of abilities in a card game translates to this hack 'n slash format. The game's due out later this year.

I'd like it more if it was on UE5.

I kid I kid. I still think this looks like a decent b tier game. Don't get the hate.

Is this a ‘soulslike’ game?

Is this a ‘soulslike’ game?

Hack and slash coop dungeon looter, but more third person combat style where you still need player skill and not just mouse clicking or button mashing like most standard HnS.

Probably Souls/GoW like combat, with hopefully fat lewt.

I don't know where I got the idea that this was a free-to-play game, but it isn't. I just haven't seen any footage yet that has gotten me excited for this in any way.

Meh this just doesn’t interest me, ever since I saw the first trailer.

Looks like a good game to me, proof with be in the combat systems and its items but from what i have seen so far it looks solid.

I like this type of game, but there is something weird about the SHINY enemies that puts me off the graphics, I just cant put my finger on it..

 

[Fuz]

Meh.

 

[shaddam]

Zzzz

They've put footage out there but not in the proper way per say. This one is welcomed change as you get at least an idea from the horse mouth about what the game is about.

Still, we need to see its combat system broken down, armor, progression etc etc. They also missed a big opportunity to show a bossfight in the PlayStation event. Nothing screams Epic like a boss fight. They got some areas to improve marketing wise.

We're used to these games being a bit dirty, and the particle effects/graphics make it too clean and superficial. That's making a lot of people hesitant.

Borderlands was inspired by Diablo. This is a more direct homage.
