Rebooted Soulslike 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Lords of the Fallen surprisingly revisits and revises a cool idea that was initially planned f♌or Dark Souls 3: bonfire-style checkpoints that players can place wherever they want.

In an interview and hands-off preview with , creative director Cezar Virtosu of developer HexWorks explained that Lords of the Fallen has relatively scarce checkpoints precisely because players can craft and install their own, sort of like a resource-driven save system. The catch is you can only place one at a time, plus the materials to craft these checkpoints are apparently fairly rare, mostly sourced from the horrors lurking in the nightm🌊arish Umbral realm mirroring the game's overworld, meaning you can't put them down willy-nilly and abuse the save or rest functions. 

On top of the cost of crafting these things, Lords of the Fallen balances out the alluring power of DIY bonfires – and just imagine how handy such a feature would've been in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Elden Ring – by letting enemies straight-up destroy them. If you place a crafted checkpoint in a dangerous area, perhaps hoping to cheese a tough fight through corpse-running with functional immortality, nearby monsters will just smash it to bits and you'll have wasted those rare materials. And yes, resting at a checkpoint does respawn all the enemies, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:as is Soulslike tradition. 

In other words, you'll need to scout out a relatively safe area to make sure your checkpoint stays safe, which sounds like a neat way to incentivize exploration and bring some risk and reward into the save system. A similar idea was found in Dark Souls 3's cut content by Souls sleuth Lance McDonald , though these custom bonfires were tied to corpses rather than crafting. I look forward to seeing how Lords of the Fallen players inevitably use it to break parts of the game after being trained by 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:FromSoftware and plenty of other Soulslikes to exploit anything they can to hell an൲d back. 

Lords of the Fallen devs want this to feel like "Dark Souls 4.5."
