The result of all this is a leaner, meaner game with more excitement, greater strategic depth, and the freedom to approach battles how you decide.īut this doesn’t mean the story experience isn’t important to us. I’ll save the details for another day, but for now I’ll simply say that I’m a huge fan of games like Hades and Slay the Spire, and they’ve had a huge influence on Lost Eidolons: Veil of the Witch. We’ve also made a number of changes to the combat system itself, and the game’s overall structure is radically different from Lost Eidolons. There’s still progression and choices to be made (skills to unlock, gear to be upgraded, and so on) but generally it’s all a lot tighter and more focused now. Each character has a single class, with fixed weapons and armor, and a very specific playstyle. In Lost Eidolons: Veil of the Witch, things are much more stripped-down. One of the most immediate changes is that we’ve done away with sprawling class trees that take 30 hours to get to the cool stuff. Veil of the Witch, on the other hand, is fast, gameplay-driven, and hits the ground running immediately. Lost Eidolons was a linear, story-driven RPG that unfolds gradually. I’m confident the game will speak for itself. New players will find a rich world and characters, a fast and gritty combat system, and an addictive, looping structure that sets the game apart from the rest of the genre. But it’s an entirely standalone experience you don’t need any prior knowledge to play.įans of the first game will find VotW to be a tighter, more focused game, that offers more of what they love with less friction in between.

It takes place in the same world as Lost Eidolons, and is set shortly after the events of the first game. Lost Eidolons: Veil of the Witch is a turn-based tactical RPG with roguelite elements. What kind of game is Lost Eidolons: Veil of the Witch? Now let’s dive into some questions you may be curious about. But the gameplay and general presentation is a major departure. We refer to the game as a “spin-off” (rather than a true sequel), as it shares a lot of Lost Eidolon‘s core identity, and even a few characters.

Today I’m happy to share what we’ve been working on: an exciting new spin-off game, titled Lost Eidolons: Veil of the Witch! In the end, we’ve decided to take a different path, and try something a bit unexpected.
