What goes into creating Lords of the Fallen’s challenging enemies?

Less than a week away from the release of Lords of the Fallen, Bandai Namco Games has released the first in a series of developer diary videos for CI Games' brutal action-RPG.

You know how you can tell Lords of the Fallen isn't quite like Dark Souls? Bandai Namco refers to the foes as an "ample but fun challenge." There's no fun in these types of games — just death.

Anyway, the video introduces you to the team at Deck13 and CI Games and provides insight into creating the foes you'll soon encounter.

Lords of the Fallen will release on October 28, 2014 for Xbox One, PS4, and PC.
