    Babylon's Fall has fast, flashy combat and a generally enjoyable structure, but is packed with issues, ranging from it's limited co-op function to live service elements, which appear to have sealed its fate.

    Babylon’s Fall should have fared better than it has. Hidden somewhere behind a myriad of poor choices is some enjoyable hack and slash combat. Going with an online-only, GaaS model and still sticking gamers with a $60 price tag. The strange choice of the watercolor painting art style. Taking nearly 20 before introducing any of the interesting pieces of character customization. Waiting until the player completes more than three-quarters of the story before opening up any of the side quests or resulting rewards. All of these could have easily been avoided.

    By focusing on both action role-playing, massively multiplayer online role-playing and combat sequences, the title proves to be too generic and gets lost along the way. Technically dated and visually unremarkable, despite an original “brushstroke” effect, Babylon’s Fall is aimed at a niche that will appreciate its particularities. Fans of challenge and online experiences could find their way there, but most players are likely to find the difficulty poorly regulated and the endless battles.

    While Babylon's Fall had several good ideas and had a lot of potential, it shot itself in the foot with its intrusive live service model and its painfully obvious lack of polish, making it that much harder to recommend to anyone, especially at the ludicrous price of $60.

    Repetitive, ugly and lacking everything resembling fun, Babylon’s Fall is a mystery, and the mystery is: Why does it even exist?

    Even more upsetting are the momentary flashes of Platinum brilliance that shine through. The game hits you with the occasional stunning oil-painting backdrop, draws you in with the story for a split second. Sometimes the bosses are super cool, or you'll do an awesome last minute dodge and you'll feel unstoppable. Somewhere, deep down, there's a sliver of the fantastic Platinum. But it's mired in what it thinks makes a live service game tick and loses itself as a result.

    The only positive aspect is the music on boss fights, the graphics are really bad like early PS3, the combat is basic and only 4 weapons withThe only positive aspect is the music on boss fights, the graphics are really bad like early PS3, the combat is basic and only 4 weapons with the same move set, the enemies take to long to die but are easy, it exists only to make the grind more tedious, the cutscenes are some of the worst i see in a game , like no effort at all in this game, the guts of Square to charge full price for this game is ridiculous… Full Review »
