I was given a PS5 code from PR Company 1UP PR @1UP_PR Publisher Kakao Games Corp @playkakaogames Developer Ocean Drive Studio @OceanDriveGames
This is released in the UK on the 9/10/2025 and in the UK is priced at £19.99.
INTRODUCTION
From the world of “Lost Eidolons” comes a tactical roguelite RPG, where death is just the beginning.
Shipwrecked and dying, you strike a deal with a mysterious witch for another chance. The price? Become her champion and vanquish her enemies.
As you awaken on a cursed island overrun by the dead, you have no memory and no way out – other than to forge ahead to fulfill the witch’s bidding.
FEATURES
- TACTICAL TURN – BASED COMBAT Engage in challenging grid-based battles where every move and combo demands precision. Leverage elemental effects to manipulate the battlefield – electrify soaked enemies, ignite flammable terrain, and exploit every opportunity. Account for enemy armor and strike with the right weapon to break through and gain the advantage. Build devastating skill synergies, control the flow of battles, or be outmaneuvered and crushed by foes.
- BUILD YOUR PARTY Recruit allies and build a squad of 5 from 9 versatile characters – each blending multiple combat roles with unique skills, weapon sets, and personalities. As you level up, earn and upgrade over 200 skills to create deadly team compositions and game-winning builds. Experiment with different squads and strategies every run to find new ways of dominating the battlefield.
- EVER-CHANGING JOURNEYS No two runs are the same. Choose your path across a winding map full of random events, hidden rewards, and dangerous encounters. Every step along the island’s forking paths will present new possibilities that can shift your entire strategy. Plan your path carefully, but be ready to adapt, as some choices can lead to powerful rewards, while others hide unplanned encounters. Take risks, claim winnings, and adapt your strategy to survive what comes next.
- ROUGUELITE PROGRESSION Failure isn’t the end; it’s part of the journey. Every death makes you stronger for the battles ahead. Spend your rewards at the base camp to permanently boost your stats. Promote characters to unlock powerful new skills. Deepen your bonds with allies to uncover their pasts and gain more tactical advantage on the field. When you’re ready, dive back into the fight and push farther than ever before.
- WHAT LIES BEYOND Once you complete a successful expedition, the real challenge begins. Return to the battlefield to track hidden clues and unravel the mysteries of your mysterious patron. Face off against powerful foes and confront the truth behind the island’s curse. And if you’re feeling truly brave, tackle Trials Mode: a high-stakes challenge with customizable difficulty modifiers and juicy rewards to push your wits to the limit.
