Dark Fantasy RPG relies on scant outfits for women, provoking fans: “Looks like a F2P MMORPG from Korea”

Lords of the Fallen 2 Titel title

Later this year, Lords of the Fallen II is set to release for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. The developers have now presented the equipment sets for female characters, but they are not well received by everyone. 

What do the equipment sets look like? The image shows some equipment sets that are designed in black, gold, and gray tones. What they all have in common: they do not cover the entire skin but leave plenty of room for enemy attacks.

Some of the armors are so skimpy that the chest area of the character is partially exposed. The abdomen and legs also provide a slight target with some sets. 

The equipment sets were reportedly designed with the feedback of fans in mind, according to the developers. However, the curious thing is that they did not want this at all.

Armors seem cheap to users

How are the armors received? On Reddit, numerous users are complaining that they do not like the armor sets at all. Many commentators compare the extremely skimpy and revealing designs to games like The First Descendant or TERA. Here, skimpy skins have already caused a stir in the past

Users feel that these armors do not fit a dark Soulslike game at all. The top comment even suggests that the sets look as if they originated from a Korean Free-to-Play MMO. This refers to the often polished design of female characters, which can seem out of place in some game worlds

The new designs bother many in terms of immersion, as the characters no longer look like they could actually survive in this dark world. For some, such design would at least be fair if the male characters were given similar skimpy outfits.

However, there are also supporters of the armors, such as on X. The YouTuber TheBackgroundNPC revealed that she was also able to give feedback on the armors and is satisfied with the design. 

The second part of Lords of the Fallen has been in a long development hell. No wonder that it is only appearing 12 years after the release of the first part.
