▍About Lost Epic
Lost Epic is a 2D side-scrolling RPG that blends souls-like elements with exploration elements akin to Vanillaware’s Odin Sphere. The game first launched on PC via Steam as part of its Early Access program on June 5, 2021.
Players take on the role of a god-slaying knight who enters various sanctuaries throughout the lands, in a hunt for the six deities who control a corrupt world. Featuring picturesque character sprites by illustrator Namie, players can choose from a wide variety of avatar classes that possess unique skills as you unlock them throughout your journey through the six sanctuaries.
Incorporating hack-and-slash-like elements into a classic JRPG, players can create various combos by equipping different weapons and slotting in unique moves called Divine Skills. Powerful moves as they are, activating them at just the right moment allows players to knock down enemies, leaving them wide open for massive damage.
Even if you find yourself struggling in combat, with the right preparation, you can get through it. Throughout the sanctuaries, you will find hidden items that will help you on your adventure, so if something catches your eye, check it out. It just might be something good.
