Lost Eidolons

Lost Eidolons is a complex RPG game, enriched with extensive turn-based strategy elements. The production was developed by independent studio Ocean Drive and represents its debut project.

The plot

Lost Eidolons takes us on a journey to a fantasy world. The continent of Artemesia, which was once shared by sovereign kingdoms, today belongs to a feudal empire ruled with a firm hand by the aging Emperor Ludivictus. One day, a mercenary (or mercenary woman) from the village of Lonetta named Eden becomes the victim of an aristocratic conspiracy and falls into disfavor. With no other choice, he must join the rebels, whose goal is to overthrow the tyrant-conqueror and restore the old order throughout Artemesia.

Unlike many other games of this type, the story told in Lost Eidolons has a predetermined course. Thus, the title does not include moral choices.

Mechanics

We start the fun in Lost Eidolons by creating a character. The game allows us to decide on the gender and appearance of the hero, as well as choose his profession. Further on, there is nothing left for us to do but to join the actual gameplay. This one, in turn, is based on two main pillars.

The first is turn-based skirmishes, the course of which we observe from a bird's eye view. We can achieve victory not only by sending properly developed subordinates into battle, but also by positioning them in such a way that they can use the advantage guaranteed by the terrain (for example, soldiers fighting at a distance should be positioned on hills). As we progress, we unlock new units and equipment for them. In addition, over time we develop our character and acquire better and better equipment for it.

The second pillar of the game is camp visits, where we control the hero directly, watching the action from behind his back (TPP). Here we deal with recruiting and training soldiers representing various specializations (from warriors to archers to mages), establishing relationships with new characters and nurturing friendships with those we already know, as well as forming alliances and other activities related to the conduct of politics in the broadest sense. The camp also serves as a place where we accept various quests that push the storyline forward, as well as side missions.

Technical issues

The graphical setting of Lost Eidolons game presents a high quality and was maintained in a rather gloomy style. The game takes place to the accompaniment of the soundtrack, signed by Clark Aboud - a composer whose portfolio includes music for Slay the Spire.
