The PC release of Fall of Light developed by RuneHeads is an RPG featuring certain elements typical for dungeon crawlers. The game is available on PC thanks to the 1C Company, who took up on their shoulders the task of publishing it. The developers drew the inspirations for their game from Dark Souls - it is clearly visible in the game’s plot and mechanics.
The action of the game is set in a fantastical world consumed by darkness. Centuries ago, this darkness had been defeating starting the Age of Men. In the latter part of this period, the evil force returns to devour anything that stands in its way. A player assumes the role of a warrior named Nyx, whose final task is to embark on a journey through the realm that is filled with many dangers and guide his daughter – Aether to the last place suffused with sunlight.
One observes the action from the top-down perspective, explores the grim locations, interacts with encountered NPCs, and discovers numerous mysteries followed by consecutive pieces of the story puzzle. A player also has to avoid traps and solve more or less complex logical and environmental puzzles. What makes the task more difficult is the fact that one has to continuously ensure the security of Nyx’s daughter.
Combat is an important element of the game – one has to face both basic enemy units, as well as powerful bosses, who can be defeated only by employing proper strategies. In battle, Nyx can assume various fighting stances and use diverse weaponry divided into seven classes – one can take down the foes from a distance with a bow, or engage them in close combat with two short swords. As the story develops, the main protagonist acquires certain special abilities that boost his combat potential.
Fall of Light for PC delivers decent visuals that feature dark color scheme and a bit cartoonish style.

Game Ratings for Fall of Light Video Game.
Handsome Phantom: 7 / 10 by Philip Neyman
Though Fall of Light does little to evolve the genres that the game falls into, fans of the Souls and Diablo series will find a lot to love here. While it’s not a bad game it is somewhat forgettable.
Nintendo Life: 3 / 10 by Dom Reseigh-Lincoln
The poor voice acting will make you cringe, the broken combat will make you rage and the visual compromises will likely make you put your console away and have a well-earned lie-down.
NintendoWorldReport: 4 / 10 by Ty Edwards
Fall of Light features multiple weapons and fighting stances, but these features just did not feel different enough to me to combat all the problems that I experienced. If you are looking for a Dark Souls experience, I would wait and spend the money when the remaster comes out rather than subject yourself to Fall of Light.
