I didn’t have high expectations from Lost Eidolons, which is why I’m pleasantly surprised and can’t wait to see what’s coming next from Ocean Drive Studio. Despite the fact that it starts very slow, there’s a lot of enjoyable content hidden under the guise of a standard turn-based strategy game. If you love the Fire Emblem series or just looking for an XCOM-style strategy game, Lost Eidolons is well worth your time. With a little additional polish when it comes to presentation and more weapons/armor variety, I think this could have been close to a masterpiece.
It's hard not to respect and get swept up in the ambition of Lost Eidolons, where even the flaws and mediocre presentation is made worthwhile with some competent, classic SRPG gameplay.

Best game I have played in a long time. The story is so good, and the progress of the battle so detailed that it makes you wonder if you are playing a game based on books, or a movie. Combat is strategic with various options and builds for each character. Graphics are fantastic. Music is good, but appears to have been used in other games. Combat animations are very satisfying. With a new game+ it has lots of replay value which allows you to play stronger and get more rapport with the characters.
I only experienced two issues.
1) If you have the graphics up high, the UI can be sluggish. I never experienced sluggish combat, just in the UI.
2) Game did not allow high resolution through my DVI cable, I had to switch to HDMI to increase the resolution.

Like a gritty fire emblem with good graphics and better magic class management. The grimoire feature is awesome and allows magic classes to choose their spell loadout. Great voice acting. Story is surprisingly good. Gameplay is like three houses without the classes or university setting.

Inspired by classics of the genre, Lost Eidolons delivers a massive experience with its own homemade features. I recommend this insane T-RPG without a doubt.
Despite its shortcomings, I ended up liking Lost Eidolons. It’s an indie title that aspires to be a big budget epic, whose worst qualities are more than compensated for by a strong story and inventive — sometimes brilliant — gameplay mechanics. As the old saying goes: don’t judge a game by its characters’ lifeless, blank stares.
Lost Eidolons is a tactical RPG that takes time to become attached to. However, once you start to get the swing of things you may just become hooked.
Lost Eidolons shows a lot of promise, especially as a debut title. Its combat ensures that tactical aficionados will get plenty of enjoyment from both the challenge and depth available to them, while Ocean Drive Studio has also ensured that there’s enough to get the more casual fans on board as well. While the game’s story ends up fizzling out a bit, there’s plenty to look forward to should the studio elect to return to Artemesia in future.
The characters form the heart of Lost Eidolons, but a whole slew of grating and annoying issues makes this a run-of-the-mill tactical role-playing game.
Considering its price, the game is very solid! Game contains high production value. While cutscenes and some of the animations can feel stiff - especially facial expressions - I thoroughly enjoyed the story of the game, and liked the battle. Especially if you are FE Three Houses player, highly likely you will love it!

I am surprised, I only bought this game as was not sure what to play and I am enjoying this game much more than I thought I would. The game reminds me a bit of Dragon Age Origins, BDO and Game of Thrones. I've seen people say it's like Fire Emblem, I've heard of that game but have never played **** combat is fun and the battle animations are great though too **** story was a bit iffy at first but it gets a lot better and I like it mostly.Sometimes I prefer games that are more simplistic as I don't like games that have too much strategy or are too complex.I really like the characters and I enjoy chatting to them in camp. I like how the characters interact with each other. I find them all quite unique and interesting.I like both the combat in the field as well as all the activities in camp and following the **** seems like a lot of the negative reviews are from people not knowing what the game is and expecting the game to be something it's not. I watched reviews on Youtube as well as gameplay which helped me decide that I possibly might like this game so bought it even though I was not 100% sure I'd like this game. If you are interested in this game and aren't sure maybe watch some you tube videos.Only things I dislike is that facial animations are just the mouth moving and eyes blinking and no other expressions, I understand it's not AAA and they have a budget but the voice acting makes up for it as it is very good at conveying the emotions and expressions the face lack.I also dislike how outnumbered you are. You can only control 10 people at most and it's a bit disapointing that when using healing you have an animation of a massive army in the background cheering you on which aren't there in the actual game.I end up skipping the battle animations as it takes so long and it's too repetitive seeing it many times.I did hate the last few battles and felt they were way too hard so I turned it down to story difficulty as got so sick of fighting the boss numerous times. This game is mostly fun and enjoyable.

Very annoying title, the combat is plain and repetitive and the history and characters are inconsequential. Also, the lack of mouth movement during scenes ruins the immersion.

The game is very long, the plot at the end is not interesting, the gameplay itself is also monotonous and boring, in the final battle I constantly got softlocks and the main boss is too pumped even on the minimum difficulty. I advise you to play if you are a fan of this genre

Unoriginal disaster. Battles are all nearly identical: bash gates and 2 shot all human enemies with nearly identical white male allies. Woo, what fun.
Then out of combat, you have to do an hour of tedious fetch quests and listening to everyone babble on about nothing if you want to unlock extra characters and get stuff.
