Hey Poor Player: 3.5 / 5 by Kenny McKee

Lost Epic didn’t quite live up to the standards that I had set for it when I had played it last year… but it was still good! Flaws aside, Lost Epic is an Metroidvania Souls-lite that’s every bit as charming as it is challenging. Sure, there’s still some work to be done here and there, but I’m confident they’ll get there in time.

Chalgyr's Game Room: 7 / 10 by Pierre-Yves Lanthier

Overall, Lost Epic, while not perfect, is a fun 2D side scrolling Metroidvania Soulslike. While it may be rough around certain edges, there’s still plenty to love here and it holds a challenge that I think fans of the Soulslike genre would appreciate.

GameLuster: 9 / 10 by Tim Jewett

An interesting take on the '2D souls-like' genre that takes inspiration from hack and slash games like Muramasa: The Demon Blade as much as it does games like Elden Ring.

Full Review

Lost Epic is an action RPG with soulslike and platform metroidvania elements. It was developed by OneorEight, responsible for the warmly received Earth's Dawn in 2016.

Plot

Lost Epic takes place in Sanctum - a fantasy world, where humanity is fighting a fierce war against deities. The player character, known as the God Slayer, decides to challenge all six gods of the pantheon.

Mechanics

Lost Epic is a side-scroller. Throughout the game the player traverses various locations - picturesque plains, stone fortresses and gloomy underground caves. Most of the game revolves around completing various quests and fighting enemies. Other than story missions, there are plenty of side quests as well; some of them requiring the player to face powerful elite foes.

Combat is dynamic, requiring constant movement to avoid enemy attacks. The player must watch their adversaries closely, searching for any gaps in their defenses. During battles they can make use of magic, combat skills and melee weapons; each type of weapon has a divine skill attributed to it, a unique ability, the proper use of which can turn the tide of battle in their favour. Progressing through the game allows the player to develop the protagonist, letting him face more difficult challenges. The player may also gather resources, used to craft new gear and other things.
