Completing challenges or collecting Shards give your Valorplate new cosmetics or even new passive abilities to upgrade. Much of the remaining additions come by way of character enhancements and skill unlocks. Expect to have to dance around and continuously plane switch, especially when facing the boss at the end of each loop. Occasionally platforms would only be accessible in one plane versus the other, but this was much more prevalent with enemies that could only be damaged in one of the two planes. Inside the Spirit Realms was a required mechanic to swap around between the Material and Spirit planes at the tap of a button. Once you're successful, you can loop back and continue another run, keeping your boons intact and boosting up enemy levels for greater reward. Facing them in a battle arena will challenge the player, whether they're going solo or with up to five friends. These are taken back to a warpgate at the starting point of the Spirit Realms event and collecting three at the gate opens the path to a miniboss, typically one of Macros' lieutenants. Getting back to the Spirit Realms, clearing an event rewards the player with an Elder Soul. And when the core gameplay loop is about getting swords and gear with bigger numbers to stay alive longer and deal more damage, I'm relieved to see that Counterplay Games isn't stingy with the loot in Godfall: Ultimate Edition. Boosting an event this way increases the challenge and negative banes bestowed on the player but instantly rewards them with additional loot upon completing the event. These souls can be deposited at altars scattered throughout the Spirit Realm to first activate it, then as a sort of additional challenge, additional souls can be invested to overcharge the event based on the majority color deposited.
As players defeat fodder enemies or open up treasure chests, they'll unlock colored souls that correspond with the three primary attributes, Might, Spirit, and Vitality. In the simplest terms, players will collect runs to unlock a gate to face off a miniboss in the pursuit of new loot but there are more complex systems at play that make the mode feel rewarding at every level.

Speaking of co-op, the new Spirit Realms in the Godfall Exalted Update may be where players decide to invest a great deal of their time and that comes with the addition of a six-player co-op from beginning to end.

I can attest to the slow recovery times from my original review of Godfall, so anything that helps me get back into the action faster is a plus. The developers I played with talked up the new 'Knockdown 2.0' update that allows players to use a recovery skill to quickly get back up after being knocked down. Each captain defeated removes a negative bane modifier from that boss fight, so it's up to the player to balance out that risk versus time saved.Īmong the other new mechanics were a number of features that had been requested by fans throughout the various patches that are finally available for everyone in the Exalted Update and Ultimate Edition. Now, instead of having to earn and collect Sigils, players can either face off against the boss of that Realm immediately, or a wiser choice would be to clear out their three captains first.
One of the more time-consuming mechanics from the original Godfall was the requirement to earn Sigils before being able to challenge the boss controlling each Realm.
Of course, you'll still have to grind out gear and ascension levels to make your Valorplate of choice the pinnacle it has the potential to become. If the thought of having to play through the campaign again on a new platform doesn't excite you, players can jump all the way up to level 50 and experience the endgame activities straight away. Godfall still features a story campaign to march through the various Realms of the world, chipping away at the big bad Macros' lieutenants before having the chance to face him in mortal combat. No more having to map out spreadsheets between Standard, Deluxe, and Ascended editions. This means the base game, original preorder bonuses, Fire and Darkness expansion, Lightbringer update, the new Exalted update, and everything else in between. At $39.99 (with a limited launch discount at $29.99 for the time being), this release does away with the fuss of multiple price tiers and preorder bonuses, giving players all of the content together in one patch. Right off the bat, it's important to note that Godfall: Ultimate Edition marks the end of console exclusivity on PlayStation 5 with the launch on the Xbox family of consoles.
