Lost Eidolons: Veil of the Witch

Veil of the Witch is a unique combination of genres, with Fire Emblem style tactical RPG combat, Slay the Spire like branching path progression, and Hades type upgrades and narrative structure. It works much better than it sounds like it should, though you have to be willing to deal with some roguelite repetition, of course. I really liked the first Lost Eidolons game, so while this falls short of that more traditionally linear experience, it's still a very good game and worth playing. There are a few references to that first game in the story, but nothing particularly essential here. First and foremost, the combat and upgrades are very satisfying. I would definitely be up for more games with this style of combat.

WOW, just wow, These games, Lost Eidolons, could've been great, I wanted them to be great. I'm only leaving 1 review for both games, cuz like the developers I'm being lazy. I truly had high hopes for these games, but the 1st is incomplete, at best and the 2nd is 'die forever until you win'. Instead of naming them LE, they should've called them Epic Frustration 1 and 2. I could go into great depth why you shouldn't buy these games, suffice it to say, that when they provide an 'Undo' button, with many chances, save scumming is already written into it. Ah Hell, forget spoilers, be forewarned, the 1st game you will lose some characters, OUTSIDE BATTLE, no matter how well you did in the battle. Then you need to scramble to replace them, which is impossible unless you know it's coming. But don't worry, as i've already said, in the 2nd game, dying over and over and over and over and over and over and over is what you're supposed to do. AND, in both games the rules don't apply to the 'bosses'. In summary, high hopes dashed by lazy devs. So sad. And yet this seems to be endemic to games in general these days, make them hard as F, instead of enjoyable. Apparently, I need a new hobby. Although they are better than freaking phone games, which is why I supported them in the 1st place

Great Game and very fun. It's a mix of Fire Emblem and Roguelike mechanics. Pretty addictive gameplay.

A good game. I preferred the 1rst game but it was an interesting experience. The Rogue-like touch makes the whole... very different. Past the feeling of "no progress" and taking time to come back playing it in "serious mode" to get platinum, I end up enjoying it. Knowing the lore from previous game (which I also platinum-ed) it was pleasant to understand the ref. and -after war bonus lore. Clearly some classes are more useful thna others but with some luck each character can be deadly. My fav. ones are assassins (Emile + MC as shadow hunter) and Evie as tank-healer. I did 2 files and it took me 67h to get platinum.

Very good game! Cross between a Fire Emblem game and a Roguelite game. Enjoyed the first one as well and found this to be a breathe of fresh air after that. Feels like they cut a lot of the fat from the first one and made something way more enjoyable. The one thing I would say it's lacking in is story content. What they do have with the story is very good. It's just also pretty short. Left me wanting more. I hope they keep going with the Lost Eidolon universe, whether it be expanding this game or making another game entirely.

This game is great. One of the best, if not [i]the[/i] best, that I've played for this genre. If you're a completionist like me, do yourself a favor and always select a class skill that says "(red) New" on each time you have the option. There is an in-game side quest to fill out the entire Codex of skills (and weapons), and it's the biggest pita to go back and do after the fact if you were just favoring your favorite skills the whole time during normal play like me. I also experienced some bugs around this where skills like [spoiler]Bolster showed as selected in the codex while playing the Sharpshooter class as Ashe[/spoiler], simply because I selected it while I was the Pioneer class. There may or may not have been some issues around using the 'Quick Expedition' selection as well - as in I could not get Laurent's Tenacious Partnership to pop as an option unless I was playing a normal expedition. Most of my hours on this game was just trying to work through those bugs to complete 100% of the in-game challenges lol. It was a grind, but a fun grind.

fun roguelite tactics game with a fairly robust story

Fun tactics game with a solid gameplay loop. Great if you enjoy other tactical RPGs like Fire Emblem.

Very much enjoy this roguelite fire emblem, would recommend. Would be nice if it didnt take so long to unlock the additional characters and at some point it does get repetative so get on a discount if possible
