Another entry in the long running “-fall” series of games.

(For real, it’s weird how so many game have “fall” in their name if you start paying attention to it. Everything be fallin’.)

Well, when you think about it, it makes sense. It's a versatile and cool sounding word format or whatever you call it. You can use it for literal stuff, such as Titanfall, where robots fall from the sky or comets or whatever. But also in a collapse kind of thing, like here. And fallen civilizations and apocalypses are a popular themes, so..

A few years ago I think I'd agree, but I feel like at this point it's a super lazy naming scheme, to be honest.

Don't have a good name? Just slap "-fall" on the end of some noun.

-fall seems to have taken over from -craft
