About The Lost Mythologies

✦ AI summary

Play as a half-god awakening from ancient slumber to prevent a catastrophic war from destroying civilization once more. This ambitious student project showcases rapid game development, blending mythological storytelling with action gameplay in a free-to-play experience.

Story


Thousand years ago, The civilization was almost completely wiped out after a great war.

Centuries had passed, almost no one remembers the once glorious empire.

But, when the ancient history strikes back, you, the half god protagonist has awaken to prevent it to repeat itself all over again...

Note


This game's main focus is to show how much we're capable to do at a short period of time, but since we thought the result wasn't actually sellable, we decided to release this game for free.

This is a student project, it may contain various issues and we CANNOT guarantee these will be fixed due to the reason mentioned below.

We're planning to start a studio after graduation and Military services(according to Taiwan law we have to finish it unfortunately).

For those who liked our work please stay tuned, hopefully we may roll out some information about our next project when we're back on business.

✦ AI summary

The Lost Mythologies is a free action game inspired by Chinese mythology that players view as more of a student project than a polished commercial title. While the straightforward melee combat is accessible and can provide brief entertainment, reviewers consistently note the lack of challenge, narrative depth, or standout features that would make it compelling beyond its free price tag. Players appreciate it as a learning exercise from the developer but do not recommend investing significant time into it.

More of a student project curiosity than a genuinely enjoyable action game. At least it's free.

The Lost Mythologies, developed and published by Basaltic Studio, is a free-to-play action title that attempts to channel the spirit of fast-paced hack-and-slash games through the lens of mythological storytelling. Set in a world inspired by ancient Chinese legends, the game casts players as a half-divine warrior tasked with confronting a looming threat tied to a corrupted force known as the Black Rakshasa. While the premise suggests a grand, myth-infused journey, the actual experience is far more modest in scope, presenting itself as a short, combat-driven project that prioritizes action over narrative depth. At its core, the gameplay revolves around straightforward melee combat, placing players in arena-like encounters against waves of enemies. The combat system is accessible and easy to grasp, relying on a mix of basic attacks and a handful of special abilities that can be chained together for more impactful results. There are moments where this system clicks, particularly when juggling multiple enemies and maintaining momentum across a sequence of attacks. However, the overall design leans heavily toward simplicity, and the lack of deeper mechanics or meaningful variation caus…

Looks a lot like an endcourse project for a game development course. Something made just so the teacher knows you can do the basics. It might make you have a bit of fun for some minutes if you have nothing to do, but it's really not something that actively challenges you or has anything that stands out. Well, at least it's free. Thanks for sharing your work, Mr. Developer! Keep improving!

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
