Poll of the Day > So Lost Eidolons: It's probably going to be my GOTY, please play it!

(+) Yeah! (+)

I know that I made a topic where I talked about this game and 2 other RPGs that came out this week that really impressed me with their demos, but I've been playing this game today, and and I feel like this game really deserves its own topic.

So lik I said before, Lost Eidolons is a turn based rpg heavily inspired by Fire Emblem, that switches it up in a lot of ways that in my opinion makes it better. You're the leader of a mercenary group which has formed up to take out your extremely opressive monarchy.

So like I said, I'm finally playing this today. Like I said, I played the demo during a demo fest on steam, and it absolutely blew me away, and today I'm being reminded why.

This game nails what I ultimately care about in an rpg better than anything else better than anything that's come out in a long, long time. It nails, with its dialogue the moment. When characters are having conversations, they really draw you in, letting you really understand what's going on, what's at stake, and why you should care, and and it really really nails making you care about the characters. Also, most of it is voice acted, and the voice acting is really really really fucking good!

It also is about intelligent adults who without a shadow of a doubt are adults who look, talk, think, and act like adults that are thinking ahead in how to accomplish things(No 14 year olds in adult bodies here.)

Please, please play it if you've got a PC that can handle it. It deserves a LOT more attention than it's been given with its less than 300 reviews on steam.

Here's a couple reviews:

These 2 are short, and they'll cover the essentials:

This one goes into detail, and will explain a lot. It's spoiler free.

Oh, as I learned from this review, it runs pretty damn well on the steam deck.
