Reviews
- Combat system is deep, tactical, and unique with stamina management, telegraphed enemy attacks, and weapon-specific moves, elevating traditional roguelike gameplay.
- Rich itemization with many unique and build-defining equipment, creating varied runs and strong replayability.
- Atmospheric and immersive worldbuilding supported by well-crafted sound design, music, voice acting, and a Souls-like vibe in a traditional roguelike format.
- Save system deletes progress on loading and requires manual saving to retain progress; this has caused frustration due to lost runs and crashes.
- User interface and quality-of-life features need improvement: clunky inventory management, lack of clear item or stat display, and awkward controller support.
- Enemy summoning mechanics can overwhelm players, causing tedious and unbalanced combat encounters that limit tactical options.
gameplay
27 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe gameplay offers deep, strategic, and engaging turn-based combat with diverse builds, innovative mechanics, and a fresh take on traditional roguelikes, blending old-school charm with modern design. While combat is satisfying and skill-based with clever enemy telegraphs, some frustrating balance elements like item destruction and a steep learning curve without easy mode hinder the overall experience. Despite minor flaws, it provides extensive content, tactical depth, and rewarding variety that will appeal to fans of the genre.
“The combat mechanics are a big step up from bump attacks, with tons of interesting enemies to use them on, and pretty diverse builds to change up each run.”
“Core gameplay is grid-based and turn-based, but the turns use float continuous time rather than integer-based turns, creating far more gameplay depth and a lack of the usual boring predictability of the turn-based 'I punch you, you punch me' variety.”
“It has very unique and interesting mechanics: skill-based weapons with different skill sets per weapon type, and telegraphed enemy attacks where you can see the enemy's attack area and evade it, requiring learning enemy patterns.”
“If this is a balance mechanic to stop players becoming fantasy Batman with an arsenal of solutions to problems, then personally I'd rather the balance was done via fewer items dropping in general - rather than having to account for the risk of enemies that can passively destroy your items.”
“Lost Flame would benefit greatly from an easy mode like Qud's town checkpoints to facilitate learning the game mechanics while lowering the early game repetition.”
“I did find some gameplay areas of improvement:”
