Lords Of The Fallen is a Dark Souls inspired action RPG where your weapons, armor, magic, offense and defense are your strategy.

Conclusion:
Lords Of The Fallen runs fairly well even with and older "staging" version of Wine and DXVK. The outside areas slow down the frame rate a bit and maybe a few flickering textures, but other than that, it looks beautiful! I have heard the Steam version doesn't run at all in Wine, so stick with the GOG version for now.

Nice game but game control with mouse is very slow. When I fight first boss hi hit me few times and I cannot hit him because camera rotate to slow and I can't point to him. Playing with ps3 pad also sucks.
