Godfall - Preview of the new title developed by Counterplay Games

Godfall leaves us all speechless, breaking on the stage of the kermesse dei The Game Awards 2019: after a trailer, which we are going to analyze, we discover that the title will be one of the first games available at the launch of Sony PlayStation 5. We discover later that the title will always be available in the Christmas period of 2020 also on Epic Games Store, which actually makes the game of Gearbox an exclusive console only for Sony while those who own a PC can enjoy it without problems.

Starting from the design of the logo, we immediately find some interesting elements: the font of the logo certainly makes us think of an Egyptian world, while the letter "O" of the name is worked with many styles, the first one that certainly catches the eye is the Asian one, with what seem to be oriental ideograms, while two dragons in pure Chinese style seem to chase each other.

Below we discover the armor of our three protagonists who appear on the screen in what appears to be a temple in destruction from which they escape: the temple contains aesthetic elements that make us think of different cultures such as Buddhist and another of Central America, probably attributable to the cult of the Maya. Even the doors of the temple, while the warrior in lion armor (which we will analyze shortly) flees, are decorated in arabesque style., another scenic element attributable to a religious cult. Immediately after being hit on the outside of the temple doors, the Lion Knight stands up, revealing armor rich in detail similar to that of oriental culture traceable to Buddhism. Passing through the hilt of a sword, we meet what would seem to be a woman, given the narrow waist and the long hair that comes out of the helmet: her armor is attributable to the Maya or Mesopotamian culture. In the background appears the most Egyptian of the three, what appears to be a knight freely inspired by Horus, the Egyptian god of the sun. Looking up at the sky, our three protagonists seem to find themselves in front of a gigantic blade - almost thrown on the temple - and above this blade a menacing three-headed hydra.

So what is Godfall? Well we are facing a "Looter-Slasher" or a third person title with a strong component aimed at moving the player in search of weapons and armor of various kinds. As the official website shows us, the aim will be to find weapons of a legendary nature. Also according to the developer, Counterplay Games the game will have an impressive combat compartment with a strong third-person impact that will require the player several hours to perfect their technique. That's not all, always from the official website we learn that it is literally "Better together": the game seems to be playable both alone and in two, up to a maximum of three players at the same time, this makes us think that the three armors would somehow describe the specialization class of our heroes.

We look forward to more information in the coming months.
