    Tactics RPG Lost Eidolons: Veil Of The Witch Hands-On

    We tried the closed beta Of the rogue-lite Spinoff of the saga, and that's what we found.

    Lost Eidolons: Veil of the Witch is a turn-based tactical grid-based RPG from Ocean Drive Studio, the developers behind the acclaimed Lost Eidolons. The Veil of the Witch is a rogue-lite in which your character is stranded on a mysterious island. Memories are lost, and the only way to survive is to fight. Throughout your journey, you will have to recruit allies, undertake quests, and battle to reclaim all that you've lost, no matter how many times it takes.

    The closed beta featured the full first act and portions of the second act. This allowed us to get a feel for the game's mechanics and combat systems and also gave us a taste of boss fights.

    Story
    The story begins with the player's character waking up on a beach on a remote island that has been taken over by the undead. With your memories lost, the only one to guide you is a mysterious witch who might not have the best intentions. The player is left with no choice but to be her champion, trying to piece together the memories after each death and the life you once had.

    As you journey through the island, you will begin to meet different companions who are each fighting something within themselves. Each character can develop and tell you their story.

    Not everything is as it seems, though. The closed beta did not unveil many secrets, but throughout the story and combat events, you will face off against other humans who have control over the undead. This subtle notion leaves the player to question not only the witch's endeavors but also the islands.

    The dialogue is not great and closer to being childish at times. During profound moments, the main character might say something that is not from this fantasy land but from a real-world perspective, basically a teen's response to fighting the undead and their masters.
