A new trailer has been released this week for the upcoming action role-playing game Godfall, which will be launching on the PlayStation 5 and PC in time for this year’s holiday season 2020. The game is currently under development by Counterplay Games and will be published by Gearbox. Godfall was the first game to be confirmed for release on the next-generation PlayStation 5, which will be officially launching later this year.
Godfall is set in a high fantasy setting, split into the realms of Earth, Water, Air, Fire, and Spirit, where players take the role of one of the last exalted Knight’s Order to prevent a major apocalyptic event. The game promises a rich and immersive experience, with each realm offering unique environments, enemies, and challenges that players must overcome.
Gameplay and Mechanics
Players have three primary character classes to select from, based on which of their armor sets, Valorplates, they equip. Each Valorplate is inspired by one of the realms and offers distinct abilities and playstyles. For example, the Earth Valorplate might provide heavy armor and powerful ground-based attacks, while the Air Valorplate could offer agility and aerial maneuvers. Additional Valorplates and Augments can be equipped to customize how this character class plays out, allowing for a high degree of personalization and strategic depth.
The game supports single-player mode and up to three players in “drop-in drop-out” cooperative mode. This means that friends can join or leave the game at any time without disrupting the overall experience. The cooperative mode is designed to encourage teamwork and strategy, as players can combine their unique abilities to tackle tougher enemies and complete challenging missions.
Godfall is described as a “looter-slasher,” a term that combines the loot shooter concept with melee combat. While players will still complete missions and gain better loot for further quests, the focus of the combat is on melee attacks rather than ranged ones. This sets Godfall apart from other games in the genre, offering a fresh take on the looter-shooter formula.
Visuals and Performance
Godfall takes full advantage of the next-generation hardware capabilities of the PlayStation 5 and high-end PCs. The game features stunning visuals, with detailed character models, intricate environments, and spectacular special effects. The realms of Earth, Water, Air, Fire, and Spirit are brought to life with vibrant colors and dynamic lighting, creating a visually captivating experience.
The game also benefits from the PlayStation 5’s advanced performance features, such as faster load times and smoother frame rates. This ensures that players can enjoy a seamless and immersive experience, with minimal interruptions. The developers have also implemented haptic feedback and adaptive triggers on the PlayStation 5’s DualSense controller, adding an extra layer of immersion to the combat.
In addition to its impressive visuals and performance, Godfall also boasts a compelling narrative. Players will uncover the lore of the realms and the history of the Knight’s Order as they progress through the game. The story is designed to be engaging and thought-provoking, with plenty of twists and turns to keep players invested.
