Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem is a new action RPG that fully released on the PC a few days ago. Powered by CRYENGINE, this indie game pushes some of the best graphics we’ve seen in an action RPG. In fact, the game can – at some times – look as good as the pre-release footage of Diablo 4.
In order to capture the following screenshots, we used an Intel i9 9900K with 16GB of DDR4 at 3600Mhz. Naturally, we’ve paired this machine with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080Ti. We also used Windows 10 64-bit and the GeForce 442.19 driver.
Now I should note that this is a game from a small team that has been in Early Access for a while. As such, it’s really fascinating witnessing this game pushing the graphical boundaries of action RPGs.
In terms of performance, our NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080Ti was almost able to push a 60fps experience on Very High settings in 4K. The reason I used the word “almost” is because there are some rare scenes in which our framerate dropped to 50fps. Still, and despite those drops, the game felt really smooth on our G-Sync monitor.
For comparison purposes, Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem runs a bit slower but looks significantly better than Darksiders: Genesis.
So yeah, Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem is a bit more demanding than your usual action RPGs. However, the game does look stunning so I guess it somehow justifies these high GPU requirements.
Enjoy!

Waiting for comments where people complain about online issues.
A game online only is an issue.
what?? this is an online rpg ?? no offline single player mode ?? 🙁
It’s single player.
I wasn’t talking about this game, i’m talking in general. Online only should never be a thing.
u tell’em man u tell’em!! https://media1.giphy.com/media/v12FFFTON0WgE/giphy.gif
its not though not on cracked version at least
single player
Seems all the negative press is from the MP, Single Player seems mint to me, so far.
Divinity: Original Sin also looks really beautiful.
but its turn based i hate turn based game
me too
I kind of want to give it a go but these games are all the same.
This
Sure it looks good, but needs a lot of patching
the most frustrating thing is the loot drop you cant pick then you need to move away from them and try again
Cosmetics yes, but expansions will be free as far as I know.
I wish there was a button to hide the Ui …

Good game. But, they should fire their writer.
why, too woke again?
No, this time it’s just plain bad. It’s probably the worst writing to befall an arpg and that’s saying a lot considering the standards of this genre.
Damn, I just gave it a try and it’s terrible. voice acting isn’t bad but the dialogues, oof.
Bought it in early access. It was a game with a lot of promise. And they scrubbed out all the things that made it unique and interesting and made it just kind of another generic, but good looking arpg. I guess buy it on sale or if you just really like all things arpg.
Looks sweet, but it keeps crashing for me after like 40m of gameplay. I wonder whats that about.
The game is a MESS. Stop posting about it without warning of the grave issues. It’s so bad that Steam is granting refunds to players with more than 2 hours spent. It’s one of the worst releases in recent history. There are entire features (like skills / items) in the game that simply don’t work or that crash the game.
Doesn’t crash for me and friend. You have to uninstall game if you had early access installed. Updating early access version to full game might cause issues devs said.
hmmmm i havent had any problems with it
This game is no near as bad as you’re making it sound. The only issues are with the servers and those have been mostly resolved already. The game works fine.
Bro, you couldn’t be further from the truth. Many people cannot even complete it because it messes their savegame up before they reach the end.
Seems the Devs didn’t think this game would do so well, 80k people playing it, their servers can’t keep up. Their success backfired it seems. Seems all the negative press is from the MP, Single Player seems mint to me, so far. As for me i wanted to buy this game but they removed it from GOG during early access and never returned. So much that GOG decided to give refunds out of their own pockets, to people that didn’t want to accept key to migrate to steam that devs were providing. As for me I’m playing the CODEX edition until it comes back to GOG. It’s GoG or nothing for me these days. If it ain’t DRM-Free I’m robbing Your A$$. That’s how i roll bruh 🙂

Bloodborne is still considered an action RPG, so the answer is no!
Ahem, we are obviously talking about isometric action RPGs.
Hardly the best looking Action RPG. Isometric Action RPG maybe.
