Since we’ve built this game together, we wanted to share how the world is responding to what we created.[/p][p][/p][p]We’ll keep updating this post as more reviews roll in![/p][p][/p][h3]Reviews from Media[/h3][p][/p]

• [p]DualShockers [/p][p]"Lost Eidolons: Veil of the Witch is a refreshing roguelite tactical RPG with thoughtfully crafted character design, challenging turn-based combat, and customizable playstyle." [/p][p][/p]
• [p]GameSurf  [/p][p]"Lost Eidolons: Veil of the Witch is an excellent game. It perfectly blends tactical elements typical of turn-based strategy RPGs with the punishing roguelike component within a dark and mysterious narrative." [/p][p][/p]
• [p]XboxEra [/p][p]"Lost Eidolons: Veil of the Witch is a solid roguelite strategy RPG. I think players will enjoy the roguelite mechanics and world mythos very much," [/p][p][/p]
• [p]GameSpew [/p][p]"A tactical RPG with roguelike elements, Lost Eidolons: Veil of the Witch should successfully appeal to fans of both genres. There's an intriguing story here, as well as an engaging combat system, which should keep you coming back for one expedition after another, gathering new recruits and unlocking upgrades as you go." [/p][p] [/p]
• [p]HardZone [/p][p]"Lost Eidolons: Veil of the Witch is a title designed for fans of the purest (and hardest) tactical strategy. Its progression system, character synergies, and increasing difficulty make it an experience that's both challenging and addictive. It's, without a doubt, a "coffee for coffee lovers" game: demanding, intense, and with a learning curve that might scare off impatient players." [/p][p] [/p]
• [p]PressPlay [/p][p]"Lost Eidolons: Veil of the Witch succeeds in reshaping the tactical RPG experience for shorter, more experimental play sessions. It’s not as sprawling as the mainline Lost Eidolons game, but it trades breadth for focus and replayability, offering an addictive combat loop bolstered by thoughtful character development and strong atmosphere. Fans of tactical RPGs and roguelites alike will find plenty to love here, especially those who enjoy fine-tuning strategies and watching their squad evolve across countless battles. Veil of the Witch is a confident step forward – refined, rewarding, and rich in tactical nuance." [/p][p][/p]

[p] [/p][h3]Reviews from Content Creators [/h3][p][/p]

• [p]Backlog Battle [/p][p]"As a JRPG fan, I hate dying in games. But somehow, Lost Eidolons: Veil of the Witch did the impossible by making me fall in love with death, blending Hades with Fire Emblem! And I’ve got a good feeling that you’ll love death too!"  [/p][p] [/p]
• [p]Grid Commander [/p][p]"Lost Eidolons: Veil of the Witch is finally out of Early Access, launching on PC, console, and Nintendo Switch — and it’s shaping up to be one of the most interesting strategy RPGs of the year. In this honest review, I dive deep into the full release to see if it’s really worth your time. Veil of the Witch blends Fire Emblem-inspired tactical combat with roguelike-style progression and meta systems that reward smart, deliberate play. Beneath its approachable surface is a surprisingly complex game filled with deep mechanics, brutal fights, and a story wrapped in mystery and myth. From the generous undo system and flexible dual-weapon combat to the partnership mechanics that tie directly into long-term growth, this is a strategy RPG built for tacticians who love depth and challenge." [/p][p] [/p]
• [p]Anoriand [/p][p]"Thoroughly enjoyed the game, highlighting its addictive "just one more battle" loop . Developers listened to feedback from the first game and improved upon it in every aspect. Would give Lost Eidolons: Veil Of The Witch a 9 out of 10 and highly recommends it, especially for fans of strategy RPGs and roguelikes." [/p][p][/p]

[p]Tacticians,[/p][p][/p][p]For months, you have battled through the cursed island, facing the monsters and monstrosities Anareios unleashed. You’ve honed your tactics, tested your builds, forged permanent partnerships, and even climbed the annoying bird’s Tower. But the island hides one final secret–and only those who’ve truly mastered its trials will uncover the path forward.
[/p][p]With the Official Launch of Lost Eidolons: Veil of the Witch on October 9th, the ultimate challenge is finally on the horizon. Act 4 is coming–but it won’t simply reveal itself when you reach the end of Act 3.[/p][p][/p][p]We won’t spoil the details, but here's some tidbit of information.[/p]

• [p]You must forge the Trinity Blade.[/p]
• [p]You won’t complete the blade in your first expedition, even if you clear Act 3 on your first run. [/p]
• [p]Each fragment of the blade lies hidden in different corners of your journey.[/p]

[p][/p]

• [p]The completed Trinity Blade must be in possession at the end of Act 3 to unlock Act 4.[/p]

[p][/p][p]Once you’ve made it this far, there’s nothing left to do but flex your tactical brain until it hurts and unravel the mysteries of the island once and for all. [/p][p]You must also collect Memory Shards to uncover your personal mystery—who you are, and how you came to be on the island.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]All the storied goodness, now fully voiced-over in English...[/p][p]
[/p][p]...by our lovely voice actors![/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]Remember — Official Launch is just a couple of days away on October 9!
