An action RPG with soulslike and platform metroidvania elements. Lost Epic puts the player in the role of a God Slayer, traversing the fantasy realm of Sanctum in order to challenge a pantheon of six deities.
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.
Pure Nintendo: 9 / 10 by David Temple
With all of the various areas to explore, skills to expand, weapons to collect, and so on, there is quite a lot of play time to be had in this action RPG. All things considered (including the asking price of only $17.99), Lost Epic is a very good 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.
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.
