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. Lost Eidolons takes us on a journey to a fantasy world. The production was developed by independent studio Ocean Drive and represents its debut project. In its current state, I can't recommend this game, and I suggest saving your money for something better.Lost Eidolons is a complex RPG game, enriched with extensive turn-based strategy elements. All of this would lead to a better game play experience. If I were the creators of this game, I would look into providing more subtle direction for the player, refining the visuals, and perhaps even shrinking the map. Ultimately, you just run around endlessly, pretty sure that you have no idea what you're doing, and there is very little reward (pages that advance the story) for your efforts. The HUDwatchinventory system is somewhat interesting, but it and many of the pages you collect and read hint at beacons that could possibly be cool, but I feel like I'd be long dead (IRL) before I ever get to that part of the game. The hunting and fishing aspects of the game are a joke. The world is actually much too large (unless there were some kind of directionhuidance given beyond a crude map and compass that endlessly leave you lost). I think I see what the creators were trying to do, but the execution just isn't there. I'm glad that I got this game as part of a Humble Bundle, or else I would be mourning the money I spent. I feel like this is an unfinished game by a college student and not a professional release by an independent studio. There are even some interesting visuals, despite the lack of any textures better than Minecraft quality. It has some nice soothing atmospheric music, yes. I just don't see what everyone else sees in this game.
