Incredibly shiny action RPG Godfall Still looking for players a year after its debut as a PlayStation 5 launch game. When it didn’t attract much attention on PS5 and PC, it added a PS4 version. Now the developers have removed the story and campaign to create the Challenger Edition, a special version of the game that will be available for free to PlayStation Plus and Epic Store users for a limited time later this month. What else does a developer have to do to get people to play Godfall?
It is not that Godfall is a bad game. I played for a dozen hours or so when the game launched last year. Action RPG combat is solid and satisfying. The graphics are a bit busy, never shy of shiny metal textures and exploding particles, but all in all, it’s a decent, if low-key, hack-and-slash adventure. In terms of the ratings achieved, the game lands directly in the average column, with a 61 average at Metacritic for the PS5 version and 59 on the PC. There’s no Metacritic Score for the PS4 version from August, since No point of sale cared enough to review.
Despite the lukewarm reception, developers Counterplay Games put the soldiers on. Two major updates were released last year: the Primal update from February and the Lightbringer update in August. The game’s first major expansion was also released in August. Fire & darknesswho added the elemental kingdom of fire to the existing water, air, and earth.
Now comes the next step. Godfall: Challenger Edition is a stripped-down version of the game for PlayStations and PC. Although it costs $ 15, it will be available for free to PlayStation Plus subscribers from December 7th to January 31st and on the Epic Game Store from December 9th to 16th. For this special edition, the developers have removed the story campaign and only left the final stages of the game. As in a. described post on PlayStation blog

Should a free player like what he is experiencing? Godfall‘s Endgame you can buy the Deluxe Edition of the game to experience the story and campaign modes. And if not, at least those who have been with the game since launch will have some new friends to play the Endgame content with.
It’s a bit sad to see a solid little game like that Godfall desperately clings to life. Hopefully the influx of new players will give the PlayStation Plus version a second chance at success. And if not, it is at least still more successful than the unfortunate one from publisher Gearbox Born in war.
