“Really well done roguelite game, it can be seen that a lot of thought went into it. Upgrade system makes sense, battles are fun, graphics and voice overs are top notch. For turn-based games fans this is a must.”
“Much better scoped than the original Lost Eidolons - and is well crafted as a result. A bit easy if you're used to turn-based tactics games, but can be made harder with difficulty settings that are introduced in the…”
“Fire Emblem meets Slay The Spire/Hades. Game is in a loop and the enemies boss fights have been different for my 4 playthroughs. Great game 8.5/10.”

“Finished act 3 on first run, but looking forward to other unlocks and trials.”
“I normally don't play these turn based tactical games, but this one caught my eye. I'm now 32 hours in, and still highly enjoying. The systems make sense to me, and progression is awarded nicely. It's exciting to finish…”

“To start with the positives, I like the story, writing, and art style. The game doesn't introduce characters too quickly. It's good that there is an option to speed up animations during combat, which many games of this…”
“It's pretty basic but the tactic layer is satisfying and the characters are written nicely enough.”
“Really fun game with a very interesting story. Will be awesome once fully complete.”

“This game was great until I understood a problem with the core mechanics. XP and Health are both gained by using abilities in the combat stages, and abilities have no resource cost. It results in rewarding players for…”
“Nothing special about this game. It feels kinda boring, the game play is nice and all, but it one of those games where you don't feel like you progress much in anything you are trap in a forever loop. The game itself…”
“Fun for the first 4 hours then you start to realize the lack of mob diversity, and the lackluster game loop.”

“I really enjoy this game. It's not perfect and the biggest issue is that the missions and builds just aren't diverse enough. Units come with two weapons but one that is clearly the primary or better weapon so it comes…”

“Enjoying the game so far, the main campaign seems to be a bit short but the game play loop is satisfying.”

“There is a special agony in recognising a game is mastercrafted while also resenting the experience of playing it. I recommend Lost Eidolons: Lair of the Witch, but I don't particularly want to play it again. It's not you, it's me. The real tragedy is what this brutalist…”
— a player, Steam review · 3 hrs played“Alright, the game managed to win me over... somewhat. I'm changing the review to positive as an encouragement. I applaud the game direction and I'm really starved for this unique blend of story, commpanionship & progression. I've played both Eidolons games from Ocean Drive and…”
— a player, Steam review · 30 hrs played“This game is fun and I love the turn-based tactic mixed with the roguelike aspect... except for one main thing which is why I leave a negative review : the exp. To get exp, which gets you better stat and better skills (the base of the progression system), you're required to do…”
