“Anyone who likes TBS games this is a MUST PLAY graphics are amazing and it has a really interesting story. I would say the "romance" portion feels a little lackluster if that is something you like to aim for. Anyway…”

“Mandatory kill of team members in which you have invested a lot of precious and finite resources is extremely bad game design. Also the chapter 17 random monster fight is easily in the top 3 of the stupidest ♥♥♥♥ I have…”

“Not impressed, the animation isn't great, the cutscenes are robotic, facial expression do not exist. voice acting is choppy, but all that could be forgivable, what really bothers me the most is the fact that the level…”
“Not a bad game at all, it scratched that Fire Emblem itch which to this day is the only game from Nintendo I've enjoyed. The character models look fantastic, the backgrounds however seem a bit low resolution. The…”

“Save your money as there is zero tactics involved in this absolute trash of a game. Map design is atrocious and enemies aways have positional advantage, artificially inflating difficulty with terrain that in most cases…”

“Game is great at first but really quickly becomes monotonous because you keep doing the same thing over and over again. After taking over the 6th fort with the same characters doing the same skills against the same…”
“The game doesn't respect the players time. The camp/base conversations between battles take longer than the battles themselves. The writing is not good, I don't like the main characters and any redeamable qualities and…”
“I do enjoy the game... But my word it's way too much time doing camp BS between missions. This isn't Mass Effect, where the interactions on the Normandy between missions can be enjoyable and build the character. I enjoy…”

“Turn-based strategy / RPG Lost Eidolons reminded me of Valkyria Chronicles in a sense that I have never ever heard of the game before stumbling over it thanks to a sheer luck. And just like Valkyrias, Lost Eidolons was just what the doctor ordered for a player like myself. It's…”
— a player, Steam review · 162 hrs played“As a fan of Fire Emblem and tactical RPGs, Lost Eidolons scratched that itch in a way I didn't expect from a smaller studio — the combat is genuinely engaging, the magic system's terrain interactions are a highlight, and the undo mechanic keeps frustrating moments from turning…”
— a player, Steam review · 32 hrs played“Lost Eidolons is in that frustrating “almost good” category but ultimately it doesn't work out. The moment-to-moment battle tactics are interesting and a lot of thought and effort has gone into designing the levels and the art. But the game is grindingly slow, from the…”
