When you begin a new game in Lords of the Fallen, you'll initially be able to choose from one of nine starting classes. However, there are additional classes that can be unlocked by playing the game, and the coolest of those may very well be the Dark Crusader, with its aesthetically attractive armor set and powerful longsword. You can get early access to the Dark Crusader as a starting class by purchasing the Deluxe Edition of the game for $80. This is $10 more than the standard version of the title, so unless you're desperate to begin your very first playthrough with the Dark Crusader, we'd recommend unlocking the class in-game using the method below.
