You'll be looking to control the battlefield, prioritize some enemies over others, and create combos. That focus on a meaningful loot system pairs with Godfall's focus on melee combat, which Lee compared to 2019's God of War or Devil May Cry 5, as opposed to something like a Soulsborne game. So that's been one of the big differences, is focusing on the quote-unquote 'quality' of the loot rather than just pure infinite quantity."
"But then, each loot piece is very meaningful or impactful if you slot it into your Valorplate or if you get a very specific weapon. "From our perspective, we're less about generating an infinite number of combinations, but more thinking about our loot a little bit more like Monster Hunter: World or maybe like God of War, where the loot is a little bit more specific," he said. If you find weapons you like in particular, though, you can use crafting materials to increase their power by upgrading them in the Seventh Sanctum, your character's home base.Īs Lee explained it, chasing loot is Godfall is perhaps a little less about always looking for something with better numbers than what you're carrying, and more about finding things to customize your loadout to better match how you want to play, and how you'll deal with different situations. As in other loot-driven action-RPGs, you'll find stronger weapons as you play, but you'll need to keep increasing your level to access them. Increasing your level unlocks skill points you can allocate on a skill grid that'll give you new abilities. Your character has an overall level that you'll increase as you play, rather than leveling up your individual Valorplates. So because of the different stats and Archon abilities that each Valorplate offers, they sound as though they'll function much like classes-and you'll want to choose the right Valorplate for a given mission, or for your role in a group if you're playing cooperatively. There are 12 Valorplates for you to unlock as you play Godfall, each with its own specific set of stats, a passive buff for your character, and an "Archon ability." A Valorplate's Archon ability sounds pretty much like an ultimate ability in a game like Overwatch, or a Super ability in a game like Destiny 2-a unique, powerful thing you can use only once you've charged up a bar to unlock it. It comes back to Valorplates, the armor at the core of Godfall's gameplay.
Lee said that mastering Godfall's broad combat system is going to be a big part of the experience, but that searching for more and better loot will be part of that experience. It's more like an intrinsic mastery of the combats while the loot is more of an extrinsic reward system for you to be motivated to play the game." So really, the original premise and the concept was, can we have a game where it's somewhere in the middle, meaning that it's one part loot-driven, as well as one part skill-driven. "Yet, also, there are people on our team, given our background having worked on Diablo and working at Blizzard, that we've always had a love for loot-driven action-RPGs. "The vision for making this game was how we can merge third-person melee combat, getting really juicy, tight combat mechanics, the moment to moment flow, and that experience, because a lot of the people on our team love skill-based action combat titles," Lee explained.
