About

A demanding roguelike tactical RPG, where every fight and decision revolves around YOU.
You are King Nrvesk, despot of Ruedome. Your reign was bloody, oppressive, and unjust, but was brought to an end by your neighbouring ruler, Boros II of Stratha. Under the pretence of a diplomatic meeting, an attempt on your life was made as you sat across a man you once considered an ally. Narrowly, you escaped.
Nrvesk is your company’s most powerful asset, but also your greatest vulnerability. His death in battle means the end.

Lost In The Open is designed to be a challenging experience. You will face an ever-growing roster of deadly, unique enemies. They will pull your allies out of position, lure you into traps, and coordinate to flank you. Learn their weaknesses, fight strategically, and protect your King.

A powerful Strathaian vanguard follows you tirelessly. You must traverse the dangerous terrain between Stratha and Ruedome and encounter hundreds of difficult decisions. Do you take the well-forested path where you risk becoming beasts’ prey, or the high ground, where you are exposed and easily tracked by man? Do you pay a hefty toll to avoid a fight with bandits?
You will not be alone in your adversity. Manage a diverse roster of recruits. Train them to become specialists, or jacks-of-all-trades. Create quick-bladed bloodletters, mighty human shields, patient bowmen. Equip them with strange trinkets, bolster their weapons and armour with unique attachments. Nrvesk’s life lay in his companions’ hands; shape them to your advantage.

Defeating enemies, aiding strangers, and trading with merchants are your means of sustaining yourself on this journey. Balance your resources, between unlocking new traits and abilities, upgrading your equipment, and sustaining your companions.
Defeat rears its head at every turn in Lost In The Open. Prepare for the worst. Face the consequences of your choices. Return to your throne.

专家难度非常容易褒姒,对话完全看不出对手强度,全是盲打,进小地图也没有排兵布阵,直接就是乱排乱打,没有一点布局操作感,全凭运气,发育起来了就乱杀,没发育就不停褒姒,没有一点战略操作感。
Cuando salió en early access estaba un poco roto a nivel de balanceo, así que no hagáis mucho caso a reviews antiguas. A partir de la versión 0.9 esos problemas parecen estar resueltos. Eso sí... sigue siendo un juego de reglas sencillas pero de dificultad bastante alta, empieza jugando en el nivel más fácil. En le combate importa mucho el posicionamiento y la orientación, pero es más rápido de manejar que otros de este estilo. Aunque los personajes tienen habilidades especiales ninguna es demasiado "mágica" (por lo menos de las que he visto hasta ahora) así que mucho peso de la estrategia sigue recayendo siempre sobre las posiciones de tus personajes. También me ha sorprendido los eventos que no son combates. En otros roguelikes de este estilo suele ser texto que sólo sirve para ambientar, pero en este hay que leer detenidamente porque después te da libertad total en lo que quieres hacer. Muchas veces te da a elegir entre opciones totalmente opuestas (ayudar a alguien o robarle, o matarle, o contrarle...). Lo único malo que le veo es que sólo llevan 1 acto de 3 que dicen que van a incluir. Pero ya hay contenido para entreterse horas.
First let me say I am almost at 60 years old and have been gaming since my friend got Spitfire for his Apple/MaCintosh back in 1982/83. I absolutely love the storyline General/King betrayed by a trusted ally. Game play is also spot on for me with turn based combat (remember I am old). The only down side so far and it is probably me is I cannot for some reason beat the boss/army at the end of act 1. 1st play through my fault ran through quick to avoid pursuit and ended up getting decimated. 2nd play through went slower but did not have all the mechanics down (blacksmith upgrades for weapons and armor and syndicate upgrades) got smashed again. 3rd playthrough went slower pursuers on my heels kept my team down to 12 level 4 and above good mix one crossbow, two archers, two skirmishers, the rest melee mouth smashers and guess what got my ass whipped again. Albeit it was closer but my main character keeps getting stunned over and over where he is useless. Does not mean I am through as I am on my fourth iteration on the lowest level (they all have been) with what I believe is a better party. My question, is there currently an act II. I read there was a two and three but was that something being worked on? Well great game and wish me luck as I am going for them again,
跑路了
Still getting worked on but I would recommend.
未来可期!
One of the most difficult game i played in years but i like it
Unenjoyably difficult even on easy.
is good
Another one that I really wanted to like. Unfortunately I think 'Into the Stars' did the oregon trail theme a little better. Didn't refund, hopefully they take another stab at it. 3/10 * I'll give it another try after the early access is over.
