Lost Eidolons: Veil of the Witch

Maybe if it's on a steep sale. At first it's pretty fun but gets repetitive quickly. The level up system is extremely frustrating as if you have more skills in your pool it's less likely to get the ones you are looking for. Not having enough AOE can easily brick your run. The story set up was initially interesting. Problem is that it goes nowhere. Even the "true end" is just a quick cutscene. There's no resolution to the story.

The story & writing is kind of mid, but replayability is surprisingly high, builds are fun, and with the different characters you have quite a bit of variations. Redoing encounters is not tedious. The replay mechanic is a great alternative to save-scumming.

This is a game that i absolutely recommend. I'm not great at reviews, and i feel that putting a number to the quality of this game would demean the work of the people who worked on it. I just want to say that this is a fresh takeaway at Lost Eidolons, which in turn was a decent off-brand Fire Emblem at his original iteration. Cutting off all the weird camp parts was a great choice, fire emblem made it kinda work but it's not for everyone imho. Making it a Roguelite was absolutely a stroke of genius. It genuinely feel like this time they had a vision that was beyond "i like fire emblem and want to make a game like that" but more of "okay we did a very solid first game but now we want to make something OURS, personalize it and make it our brand" and they succeeded 100% the game has very good replayability, not everything feels super fresh, but there's enough variation to make it work, especially with the extra challenges, which are already kind of a thing for people who love this genre so making it an in-game challenge worked amazingly all in all, this isn't a perfect game, but i can assure you that this is a game made by gamers and by people who enjoy making games, you can feel…

Squad tactics, with a few twists. Like in Mewgenics, your heroes mostly reset each run. You also make meta progress that carries between runs. This injects variety as you get roll different skills and gear each run

very good

Addictive. Great if you like turn based strategy and rogue-lite games
