Players can form alliances as they progress, combat enemies of ever-increasing difficulty, and eventually travel to the heart of the demonic realm, in an effort to achieve forgiveness for the anti-hero, Harkyn. Along with his mentor, Kaslo, the journey to stop the attacks leads to Rhogar, another dimension inhabited by demons. When an army of long-defeated gods attacks the human realm, Harkyn is released from prison with a chance at redemption. The world’s rulers are working to banish all evil from humans it is unclear what exactly this might mean for someone like Harkyn.

During exploration, the game uses many save points to make sure the player doesn’t lose too much progress. The game is divided into acts with linear progression, though there are several quests during the main acts. The game has been compared to video games like Darksiders and Dark Souls, but unlike the latter, Lords of the Fallen doesn’t punish the player for making mistakes.
