Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem is an Action role-playing dungeon crawler video game developed and published by Wolcen Studios and released for Windows in February 2020. The dark fantasy-themed game progresses across a three-act storyline in which players explore procedurally-generated maps to battle hordes of monsters and collect valuable loot.

The player is a member of the Army of the Purifiers along with two childhood friends, and has become part of operation Dawnbane to retaliate against the Brotherhood of Dawn which has attacked a mysterious fortress.

Reception[]

Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem received mixed reviews. As of June 2021, on Metacritic it has a score of 60 out of 100 based on reviews from 25 critics.^[1] It has been praised for appealing to veteran players of the action RPG dungeon crawler genre, while providing less restrictive character customization and a focus on high-quality graphics. Negative reviews largely cite major bugs on release and its unrealized potential due to derivative gameplay.

IGN gave it a "mediocre" 5 out of 10 and wrote: "Once its major bugs are resolved, Wolcen's clever ideas could let it compete with the heavyweights of the action RPG genre. For now, though, too much of the mayhem is caused by bugs to recommend it."^[2]
