An arcade survival game with strategy elements. Due to a plane crash in the Bermuda Triangle, the protagonist of Lost Sea finds himself stranded on a tropical island. His primary objective is to leave the island, and to achieve it he has to explore the place in search of food, find himself some helpers, build a ship, and sail to a mysterious portal.
Lost Sea for PC, PS4 and XONE is an arcade survival game with strategy elements. It was developed by Eastasiasof, the creators of such titles as Rainbow Skies or Rainbow Moon.
When flying over the Bermuda Triangle, the protagonist's plane crashes. He manages to survive and swims to a nearby small tropical island. His primary objective is now to survive and then find a way to go back home. During his stay on the island, he meets other survivors and forms a team which he also leads. They eventually manage to build a ship, but it turns out they can't leave the Bermuda Triangle in an ordinary way. Instead, they need to reach a magical portal located in the center of the archipelago.
The game's landscapes are generated procedurally in a way that fills every island with dangerous monsters an interesting locations to discover. You need to gather food and resources, build objects, and upgrade your ship. You also have to take care of your companions' most urgent needs while also having long-term objectives in mind. The resources are scarce, which regularly forces you to make hard choices. Despite the cartoon graphics, the game can be ruthless and often punishes you for your mistakes by permanently killing off some of your companions.
The castaways you meet have unique personalities and abilities, which makes the death of any of them a huge problem, making it more difficult to achieve your ultimate goal. Hostile monsters and animals are controlled by an advanced AI system that shapes their reactions not only to the protagonist and his team but also to all the other creatures inhabiting the archipelago.

Game Ratings for Lost Sea Video Game.
Cubed3: 5 / 10 by Josh Di Falco
Lost Sea had an interesting premise from the get go, with its use of procedurally generated stages and the quest of finding the tablets in order to escape the Bermuda Triangle. However, the randomly generated stages seem there only due to constant necessity to replay levels because of the inability to save the progress. While this may have been aimed at increasing the replay value of the game, after a few hours of play, it still feels like little to no progress had been made. This is a cause for many infuriating moments and seriously detracts from an otherwise clean and simple game with a lot of potential.
Video Chums: 7.1 / 10 by A.J. Maciejewski
Although I enjoyed Lost Sea quite a lot due to its relaxing exploration and rewarding gameplay, its glaring problems get in the way of it being a great game.
Rectify Gaming: 7.5 / 10 by Khris Golder
This is a polished hack-n-slash with basic premises and enough grind worthy gameplay to earn some attention. Not as memorable as you'd expect from a trip to the Bermuda Triangle, but it's a great way to escape for a weekend.
