Alpha gameplay for Lies Of P is here to give us a true showing on what we could expect to play with when Lies Of P launches
We have been waiting since we had the dark tease for Lies Of P so long ago, and now Round8 Studio is here to give us what we have been waiting for. The first look at how the game will actually flow when we have a chance to play it on the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. As a reminder, Lies Of P is an action RPG that will have us in a darker tone of the Pinocchio story from Carol Collodi. One that will have our “real boy” heading out into a darker world that looks to be dominated by other creations of Geppetto’s design. That is at least the assumption based on the story and all of the twisted automatons we have to see here for the game. The story could go vastly different than that once we are able to give it all a solid go.
This new footage for Lies Of P definitely leans more to the Action instead of the RPG, but in the best way possible so far. We get to see our protagonist heading out with a multitude of weapons and extra gear to end these creations once and for all. My guess is that the RPG side will come in where it comes to upgrading and changing out all of these extra bits. Something that looks like it could offer up many different ways to play Lies Of P when all is said and done. Not to mention, we also have a look at the darker world out there that P will be discovering and slaying his way through here. You do not need to just take my word for it, though, and can have a look at it all in motion just a bit lower down.
Lies Of P — “Wake Up, Son. Your Stage Is Set.” Alpha Gameplay
NEOWIZ and Round8 Studio today unveiled the first-ever gameplay video for Lies Of P, a fantastically baroque Action RPG inspired by the classic Italian novel Pinocchio from Carlo Collodi. The ruined, but once beautiful city of Krat is on full display in the new video. Hideous and twisted automatons rule the landscape, and it’s up to P to find Mr. Geppetto and reverse the calamity that has befallen Krat.
In the video, fans should notice the reactive counter-attacks, the array of unique weapons to find and put to use, and that Pinocchio’s own mechanical arm acts as an additional tool or weapon to give unique skills — such as a grappling hook and more.
Was this what you were expecting to see in Lies Of P or is it much better than you could have expected? Do you think that the RPG elements will be for our character upgrades and weapons or will there be a deeper story looking for us to shape it as we step into this role? What other pieces of gear do you think that P will get that we have yet to see and will it be able to top a flamethrower and grappling hook arm? Give us all of that feedback and more down in the comments and then feel free to discuss. It looks like Lies Of P is starting to ramp up and we will have much more for it. All you need to do is keep checking back for all of that and much more as we head towards its launch.
