Lies Of P Preview – Four Things We Love About The Pinocchio-Inspired Soulslike

Legion Arms are second gadgets exclusive to Lies Of P. Pinocchio looks humanoid, with the exception of his arm. An appendage that can be swapped for a Legion Arm, a flexible extremity known as a Legion Arm, is used in place. Pinocchio defaults to wearing the Iron Fist, a hardened extremity capable of big ol’ punches, but at least nine augmentations offer a bevy of neat abilities. 

The Fulminis unleashes a charge of electricity, the Flamberge’s barrel spews a violent cone of flame, and the Falcon Eyes is a hand cannon. However, The Puppet string is what I tried during the Gamescom demo. It works well. It’s a Hookshot-like gadget you can fire toward enemies to reel them in or vice versa. After being upgraded, the Puppet String can use a powerful acrobatic attack called Falling Chase to launch you in the air and then come crashing down.

I’m excited to see how other modifications affect gameplay, but the Legion Arms system should help players dial in their strategies and playstyles beyond standard equipment.
