Lies of P is Breaking a Long Standing Tradition of Soulsborne Games

In a rare occision for the soulsrika genre that spawned from the populatory of the Dark Souls games, Lies of p Will Be Breaking a Celebrated and Often Controversial Tradition for the Genre. Lies of p was releassed in 2023 and were highly regarded for its combs, rpg mechanics, Victorian Gothic atmosphere, and Visuals. A sequel is in Development and a dlc expansion CALLED Overture is releasing this summer, which will come with some interesting new gameplay options.

Neither reported by Vgc, Lies of p Will Be Adding Three Difficulty Options To both the Base Game and its upComing Overture expansion. The Difficulty Options are: Butterfly’s Guidance, Legendary Stalker (The Game’s Deficulty), and Awakened Puppet (A New Hard). The Decision to Introduce Difficulty Options Came From A Desire to Get More Interest in the Game and the Expansion, with Director Jiwon Choi Saying the Developers “Wante to make Sure a Wider Audience of Players Could Play the Game.”

DIFFICULTY OPTIONS CAN BRING A NEW AUDIENCE

Neither popular nor souls games are, they haven’t been for everyone

DIFFICULTY Options Coming to Lies of p is a bit of a surprise. The Game Was Heavily inspired by Bloodborne and Other Big Fromsoftware Titles, and None of Those Games Offered Traditional Difficulty Options. Acctinging to Choi, be As Asked About This Decision and Whether It Was Due to Player Feedback, He Responded: “Absolutely, we have a lot of Feedback from Customers, and From Our Developers.” The Base Game Was Quite Challenging and Didn’t Have the Brand Recognition that the Souls Series has.

Lies of p has two Weapon Systems. Standard Weapons Can Be Mixed to Make Something Unique. Boss ergo can instead be made ino special full weapons.

Choi Went on to Say That Neowiz and Round8 Studio Wanted the Game and the Expansion to appeal to as Many People as PostibleSaying that “by Making Development Adjustments and Introducing These Difficulty Options, We Can Offer the Experience to Different Types of Players. This Broadens the Base.” Break Souls Games have a relatively high barrier to entry, so it does make sense for a Lower-Budget Game Not Carrying The Souls Brand to attempt to Introduce New Players and Reacquaint Veterans With The Overture Patch and Release.

Our Take: No Need to Gatekeep Soulslika

The Original Difficulty is Still there

While This Decision Will Likely Cause Some Controversy Among Die-Hard Souls fans, I see this a win for everyone. The Game’s Original Difficulty is Still Present. There will be an EASIER DIFFICULTY FOR NEW PLAYERS OR PLAYERS JUMING INTO A Soulsrik Game for the first time. And there will be an Eve Harder Difficulty for Veterans, Which Offers Another Reason for Lies of p Fans to play the Game Again. Players Must Own the Base Game to Play the DLC, and the Start of the New Content is Likely Not a Traditional Menu Option, Acr Soulsborne games.

There’s no Need to Gatekeep Soulslika. With this being one of the Few Popular Soulslikes to Offer DIFFICULTY OPTIONS, Lies of p May See a DRASTIC INCREASE IN PLAYER COUNT AND INTEREST FOR BOTH THE GAME and the Overture Dlc. Eve Two Years late, Lies of p SEEMS TO HAVE A LOT OF LIFE LIFE IN IT.
