Lords of the Fallen, i dettagli del nuovo aggiornamento

Lords of the Fallen continua ad essere supportato con patch rilasciate da Hexworks, volte principalmente a migliorare l’esperienza di gioco messa costantemente sotto discussione da molte persone. Ora l’ultimo aggiornamento pubblicato dagli sviluppatori introduce una serie di novità e altri aggiustamenti.

Tra le note più significative della patch figurano il potenziamento dei boss non principali, i quali vedono un aumento dei danni inflitti del 10%, regolati caso per caso in modo da bilanciare la sfida, e dei PV che varia dal 10% al 20% a seconda dei progressi compiuti. In quest’ultimo l’aumento è minimo all’inizio e massimo alla fine.

In aggiunta al potenziamento dei boss è stato introdotto un nuovo sistema di agganciamento al bersaglio. Inoltre l’aggiornamento mira a bilanciare il PvE e il PvP e migliora il comparto grafico, gli effetti di luce e le collisioni con diversi elementi di gioco.

Il processo di aggiustamento di Lords of the Fallen continua

La patch rilasciata il mese scorso da Hexworks ha portato alcune sostanziali modifiche a Lords of the Fallen, non solo dal punto di vista tecnico e grafico, ma anche sul gameplay che ha diviso in due la community. Segnale che i processi di miglioramento da parte degli sviluppatori continua senza sosta.

A seguire vi lasciamo le note dell’ultima patch, ricordandovi che Lords of the Fallen è attualmente disponibile su Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5 e PC.
