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.
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.
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.
Lost Epic can be played in singleplayer or in online co-op.
Lost Epic's artstyle is cartoonish, colorful, easily readable and pleasing to the eye.

Game Ratings for Lost Epic Video Game.
Checkpoint Gaming: 5 / 10 by Tom Quirk
Lost Epic is not a bad game necessarily, but it struggles to stand out compared to similar 2D action titles. The application of Soulslike elements only serve to slow the experience down with dull backtracking and grinding for experience and upgrade materials. Although its combat can frequently be very satisfying and a treat to behold, the sheer amount you're forced to go through combined with limited enemy variety ensures that repetition sets in quite quickly. If you enjoyed Salt and Sanctuary, but wish its visuals were run through an elaborate anime filter, perhaps Lost Epic is for you. Otherwise, maybe wait for a sale.
Nindie Spotlight: 6.9 / 10 by Justin Nation
While it has a solid art style and generally finds a balance between a classic format and more modern challenge it feels a bit bland
But Why Tho?: 5.5 / 10 by Abdul Saad
While Lost Epic sports nice visuals, a great soundtrack and engaging, challenging gameplay, it’s also incredibly tedious to progress with many of its mechanics left unexplained, and a story that is incredibly dull and forgettable.
